How much rad-gnar can you shred on a bike designed for riding on an ultra flat track surface?
Will it have a back brake fitted? If not then the nice and sharp new disc brake will be compromised by the fear of being sent over the bars due to the insane h/a.
'Raise the front' I'm hearing. That'll do wonders for the steering. It'll turn it into a lame hybrid in no time.
Knobbly tyres? I'd rather ride good geo on street tyres than street geo on good tyres.
The asda shit bike I posted above was excessive, but I reckon even that would be more fun, cheaper and more reliable than a tinkered with pre-cursa. Though for swinley's manicured trails it doesn't really matter. Though I'd rather ride a step through shopper than a track bike off road
Edit- above was aimed at tester, sorry chak, not being mean
