First proper ride on the 456 done - turns out they do ‘blue’ trails different here and I’ve got a shit load to learn. Also accidentally ended up half falling down a red trail but thankfully none of the hardcore 15 year olds that hang out round here were around to laugh at me.
The bike is sick, as predicted - gears are fucked and nowhere near spinny enough for this part of the world but that’s an easy fix with sub-£100 Deore. Frame, fork, and tiny tiny wheels are all rock solid so it’s a good base to work from. 10/10 would recommend if an SS comes up cheap.
