Re:

First proper ride. Very very nice and light, well for me anyway. Bought some digital luggage scales 12.6kg. I thought that was pretty good for a humongous steel 29er.

Rides like a much shorter smaller bike. Top tube feels shorter than my other 29ers. Very responsive but not twitchy. Brakes were not as sharp as hydraulics but bedded in to give a reasonable progressive feel.

Snapped the chain. My bad i think. was fitted with an old 7sp extractor. Didn't have a quick link but did have a tool so took, my time, sat in the woods near my gate and took the link out. I reckon this could make the hardtail cooker redundant as i didn't miss the RC30 forks but did notice the lack of weight on the steering.

Drool


Close up for super-drool. That frame set is absolutely gorgeous.



After the rough downhill we went up on the HONC (through the woods) to MY GATE



Who needs boing?

Came back spattered in mud and sheepness. Grinning like a loon. A real contrast to the first ride on the Zaskar.

Re:

Had this been the price the other week then maybe. But it wasn't, was it. So I bought something else instead

Ah the fickle finger of fate. Priced to sell.
