Retrobike Rider
well, after ruining the majority of my fleet over last winter i decided to look for a winter 'take all abuse' bike to use over the wet horrible months ahead, browsing ebay i came across this karakoram k2 with a BIN of 95 quid (so no brainer really) i bought it! The tyres that where on it weren't fit for use to i replaced with front and rear specific Panaracer Spikes which so far have proven excellent in the mud but equally terrifying on the tarmac, hey ho grip is what i needed. It has a smittening of DX all round apart from the wheels which are not original.
Ridden 3 times at this point and i loved it until one night last week the mrs decided to move it out of the hallway into MY shed and bent the front wheel :evil: so im looking for a DX replacement already.
SO until then it is retired until further notice, here are a few pics of it on its trail debut!
Pre tyre swap
With new tyres
