Old school cool...

Just scored a bike for #1 grandson to come riding with us...

2012 Merida Carbon team Issue... Holy shit - if it can be made of carbon, it is... DT Swiss forks and wheels, XT brakes Sram XX gears. Things a freaking weapon... Hes like a ferret on the thing

Very kind lady on Fb gave me a sweet deal on this bike... I'm rather pleased, grandson is ecstatic.

My new ride. 2017 Kona Process 153.

First race on the Chameleon...
It's very solid.
Not a lightweight carbon bike by any means.
This will be there, ready for the next lifeforms after the heat death of the universe.

Once I get some new wheels built, it'll be a bit moar betterer...

Looks tall and rangy... I did an easy 20km on the Fat Bike and got it up to a surprising velocity (surprising because it was surprisingly hard work) got it measured for a frame bag as well.. ;-)

Nice not to have to wear winter riding gear now...

That bike looks to be pretty high geared FFS and you never impressed as a light weight - you must be very very fit!

32/20 gearing on 26" wheels. Tapped out at 110rpm=20kph. Will climb anything.
I'm fit, just not much power with my chicken legs.

That looks like a good ride...

New toy

We have been riding a lot with our eldest grandson.... Wooo boy you should see the bike we picked up off Fb for him... Merida team issue full carbon hardtail... And i mean full carbon... even the forks are carbon (DT Swiss).. XT brakes, Sram XX drivetrain... Man he flies on that thing, I cant keep up with him and I fall off a lot trying LOL...

[R650R]

That looks like a good ride...

Cheers. Now sporting a pair of these on the ride-to-work Fuel EX http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/n...e/rp-prod48134

Doesn't feel too much easier but find im in top gear pretty much the whole way now. And I'm not tearing the knobs of Minion DHF....

New tube in rear of other bike, prev one dicky valve or maybe just old and not holding air, patched holes dunked in water but no bubbles... frustrating. Stayed up for last ride but goes flat in shed....

And this to instal yet and test on Slash.... very sexy and the rubbers more soft and pliable than a greenie at a whale stranding....

just aquired myself a specialised fsr that had been sitting in a garage somewhere,
Never ridden a full suspension bike before so its gonna be an eye opener to ride it full on in the bush. Its an ol bugger with a 9 speed rear cassette -Need to teak the derailers to shift properly and I'll give it a bash.

The old FSR's were never that strong. Look for cracks around the rear shock mount.

And it may be best to get a pro to look at the gears. Nuts in the top tube is never a happy time.
