New bike day!

[PaulSecteur]

Its been a while since I posted in here, so apologies if its in the wrong bit.

Those that remember me from when I was more active here may remember I have a soft spot for a specialized.
Well, thats changed as the newest steed arrives.

I wanted something to help improve my MTB riding and I HAVE TO LEARN TO MANUAL. Hopefully, this will be just the thing.

No, A fat middle aged mans jump bike.

That's a totally ridiculous thing for a middle aged man to waste money on.

You should be absolutely ashamed of yourself.

I love it!

The manager of my local bike shop told me Santa Cruz bikes are currently fashionable in mountain bike/yoof circles.

 

[CanucksTraveller]

Oh I love it!

Like, go do some, like, sick sick hangers man. Shred it, smash it, and shred it again dude.

Seriously, I'm jealous. I watch all the Danny Macaskill videos and wish I wasn't quite so middle aged and friable. Happy riding on that beauty!

Get it dirty, otherwise it's just window dressing 😄

I modified my 'Jump' bike,

That is a custom made 600mm seat post and it won't go any further into the frame,


I use it as a snow/ice bike these days

 

[PaulSecteur]

That really is quite something.
