Still needs a shorter stem and a something down with that bloody front Maxle.

It's a 19.5 and I'm 6' - like I said earlier, it needs a shorter stem. I transferred the kit from a 2016 Stache and the 2018 is longer in the TT.

Can’t see a bike in any of those photos. Are you sure it really exists?

It's not going to get any on its first ride either - i'll be commuting on it as a shakedown cruise.

Be sure not to crash while night riding you may never find it again.

Permanent marker...normally I'm not that bothered but on a 29+ tyre it's like a rolling billboard.

I also tried sanding them off, but plus tyres have thin sidewall and the edges of the Logos required an unreasonable amount of sanding to get them off, so I stopped after just an M.
