Catamount MFS

[Mkane]

Pedals with ti spindles, brake close up and cut steerer.

Shock holds 200psi. Riding on it will tell the truth.

It’s rideable.

The cockpits a bit cramped. I suppose I could flip the stem and move the seat back a bit. Might gain 1/2”.
I’m going to change out the brakes. The mini motos tire clearance is marginal at best with 1.95’s.

Changed out the front brake.

I’m going Th change out the rapid-fire/brake levers and use thumb shifters/XC pro combo. Maybe less clunky looking.

Now to get the grips off. I use hairspray when I install grips.

Sanded the Renthal sineage off the bars.

Thumbies mounted.

Thumbies on. There's one on the other side also.

Took it out on its maiden voyage today.

Man it’s hard to stay seated when your so used to standing.

Shifting was flawless. Front brake squeaked. Seatpost needs a shim. New pedals will take some time getting used to. I had 1 tip over.

Rear end is amazing, what bumps. Forks seem a bit stiff but it could be I was slow after 15 days off a bike.

The different front tire stuck well.

Overall very pleased.
