Pedal strike may be solved,looks like my shock pump was giving readings 40psi too low.

Is the frameset inspired by the trees? or trees inspired by specialized? Anyway lovely bike:D

I was too busy trying to make joke that I forgot to mention I love the look of that paint.

I made this Saturday, which leads into the second bridge. I came home last night and the wife was burning the logs that I had cut and split for the end of the second bridge :(

"Please do not burn" stickynote next time..

Oh yeah, and I built a stone pad under this tree so I can turn it into a ladder bridge. Gotta build another one on the opposite side, and then cut the far end loose before I flatten the top and screw down some slats.

They were stacked in a wheelbarrow with a sawzall, a drill, and a bucket of screws on top. Fricken hell they were also green so they burned like caca dlo.

Built my boy a Lowside, may throw my old Sid on it, but need to find a stem with a 27mm stack height. Also the dropper doesn’t seem to work, will drop but not return.

Also some updates on the trail system. This is the “ Gnome Road”

A new bridge into a quick roll down.

Some rolling forest. There’s a 2 foot drop after those rocks in the middle of the second picture. It’s amazing how much cameras flatten everything out.

And I’m actually scared of the drop between these two trees.

My guess on the dropper post is that the seatpost clamp needs a little less torque for it to work properly.

Apparently there are two versions of this dropper, one that you have to manually lift and one that springs back up. 1 guess as to which one I ended up with.

Finally getting to work on that bridge.

This is all looking ace. Wish I had somewhere I could do this local without people moaning.

Found some pictures of my old SC Chameleon, early 2000s and stolen 10 years ago :(

Yesterday was National Trail Day here in the states, so a day late but got some work in today. New trailer was aces at carrying some trail tools, and a bunch of wood (not pictured).

Everyone who has ridden this section has had pedal strike on this boulder. I wish I thought to get some pics before I started reshaping it.

And cleaned up this little shute, but it’s just aesthetics.

Never seen thread on building trails. Very interesting stuff!

Someone’s gotta build them if you’re gonna ride them!

And it’s fun.
