True to form I am NOT using this bike but am thoroughly enjoying owning it and looking at it when I go to the garage. Did manage 55km or so to Lyme Park in feb with some pals (one on 26" muddy fox, other on long, low, slack hardtail vitus) in apocalyptic wind and had a great time
I've got no money atm so have been enjoying an idle sunday afternoon with 'the bike doc' open pondering what to do with this bike. Feels like there are two routes: carbon fork and fast tyres, or dropper and suspension.
Either way I want to address the gearing, living in flat flat south manchester and wanting to ride in steep steep peak district means I keep circling in on trying dinglespeed. I'm feeling like 32:16 and 28:20 would be sweet? It's 30:18 now and was a pretty decent middle ground so a little jump up for the flat and a little jump down for the hills might be good
