**blackballs** · 23rd December 2007, 19:27

Hi everyone,

Ive been trawling the forums a short while now, I can finally change my Profile to include a bike now. Thanks to Phil at DAS in chch who sold me the bike on behalf of another local.

The bike was a black and yellow version, the yellow did not appeal so I have vinyled the offending bits, Im looking forward to hooking up with the chch guys for some adventure riding.

future wants

gps and bracket
panniers
twin head light set up
second set of rims with road rubber..

Cheers

Kev

Welcome to KB. Pitty you werent on here 24 hours ago - we went for a ride through Lees Valley today.

Was that the six days (ISDE) LC4 they had in at DAS? You got a steal if it was.

Keep an eye on the adv section for rides in the new year.

Nice.
Similar to mine, I think.
I geared mine down a bit, added a comfort seat (which is a bargin) and I've got some bar risers to install, but it's pretty standard and I loves it.

I did see that, I have done that in a 4x4 would have been a great day..

Yeah it was, there is another Lc4 in brighton for sale at the, this one added up to be a better buy..

Thats a good looker, the red is alot better than the yellow, what effect does gearing it down do? (noob question alert)

did Comfort seat add any height? I really can not afford another mm as I'm a only whopping 1.72m and on tip's only already

Careful - that bike is Lemans from on here

The lower gearing helps with lower speed technical off road riding.

The comfort seat is slighty shorter, I think.
Only a $180 odd, too.

The gearing change (three teeth smaller on the back) makes it more responsive off road and through the middle range.
