Collected from Reluctant about 4 years ago and left with Wadsey to build up with parts supplied with me. Then came along Covid, Brexit, Spanish bureaucracy and some health issues so I was really looking forward to giving it it's first ride now that I could visit the UK again.
Sorry for the rubbish pictures it seems that my camera is dying but I didn't notice until I loaded the pics onto my laptop.
So how did it ride? Well, It'll need some more work during my next visit, it seems that the forks have deteriorated whilst I was away and the rear shock works better than I expected but the bobbing when climbing will need a change in riding style on my part. I'll need to investigate why the chain drops occasionally but apart from that I really enjoyed the ride despite it being a bit of a mud fest.
Basically, I'm looking forward the getting it finished and raking it on some summer all day rides.
