I was a little bit naughty and treated myself to a stunning ano orange Turner Burner 🙂

Built by the lovely Onzadog, she's lovely... Fox 34 150 forks, e.13 TRS wheels, SIXC cranks, XT group set and brakes.. Rides absolutely beautifully.

Going to be tested in a few weeks for a Welsh coast to coast, and in Moab a few weeks after that! I honestly can't wait for both epics!!

Thanks guys 🙂

I was concerned that the trade-off would be a bit draggy climbing but she climbs beautifully... Descents are fab! I really am completely blown away (and probably very annoying to ride with ATM!!)!!!

Hey, the best things come in small packages & all that.
I'm 5'6 in my thickest socks & on the cusp of Turners size chart between Small & Medium so inclined to go for a small, shame there's none in stock 🙁

Speak to your neighbour for some lawn care tips. Otherwise, looks ACE!

Looks nice though.

Dream bike right there!
You're just missing a dropper..
Do you use pro pedal/lockout much on the shock?

Yep, need a dropper post (especially for Moab!) - just *ahem* had to rein it in having got a bit carried away with the build...! Quite fancy a Thomson dropper actually..

Only had 3 rides so far but haven't locked it out yet (and probably won't). Had both in trail mode today for proper xc riding and that worked well - at Cannock / Afan last weekend I left them in descend which was fine.

One does look at Miss' picture and think "that's either a very small bike or a very big fence".

Nowt wrong with being compact. 15 years ago I was just above average height for a man. Now, what with modern parents insisting on feeding their kids and not sending them down the mines at aged 8, the average has gone up and I'm below it.
