Hulsroy's Hustle

Maybe a bar bag then. My daughter borrows my burrito bag some time... mostly for pebbles and feathers

she is already taller than me

But she only has two bikes so you are still my fave

Finally got my ass out for an evening shred. I can't believe I don't do this every evening.

No knee warmers!

The smiles tell the whole story.

No. And it was alright. It is easier to take it easy when you are on your own on a MTB.

I've been out on my bikes three times this week and the knees haven't been too bad actually. Still on sub two hour rides and relatively slow pace, but I am finding more and more situations where adrenaline kicks in and I push on without too much concern... And so far without any consequences the following days. So that's great.

Also found some time to tinker which was much needed. An afternoon of putting stuff together for my new MTB and watching nationals.
I've been going back and forth with what to do to the MTB. But I am building it up and riding it until September ish.

As a southern european I'm quite jealous of your evenings

It's sweet spot right now. It's shite the rest of the year

Disc conversion of a 26inc frame and converting 29er forks to fit boost hub and 395mm a-c.

Forks used to be unicrown Pipe dream ones. They will be modded into a segmented lug type thing

Love that second to last photo.

Yeah that's my favourite secret bit of "road"

Still waiting for my son to arrive + summer holiday = getting stuff done

I think those Marin dropouts are some of all time favourites.

Seconded.

Agreed. I'd like to think I did them justice with these new disc tabs. My first time doing it in two separate tabs but it was very enjoyable to make and they look pleasing imo

Still waiting for wheels, cranks and frame bag. But I could not wait to build this up

Damnnnn....

This bangs

Agree with everyone else that is looks the business!

I've just treated a modded frame with Le Tonkinoise - at seems like pretty durable coating. At least not flaky at all.
Maybe it's possible to use a tonkin+gelomat topcoat to secure the colour.. Or just tone the tonkin with linseed oil paste.
