Agreed. If that's the best you can do you should retire.

Does it begin with a big, fat(tie) 'S'?

Your lawn is atrocious.

I can tell you it's a bike. Probably not a road bike but from that terrible flash glare not a lot else. 😛

I've tried several times to change my name on here but they won't let me.
Can't say Tom. 🙂

No one's right so far.
This should help.

😆 it was an accident in all honesty.

BTW I feel your pain on the forum name. I've begged too!! (STW towers if you are watching, how about an amnesty for a week or two?)

Yay a tyre geek. 😀
I knew someone would get it from the rubber.
Got a few more bits to do to it like bigger rotors and fit a my CCDB ais CS shock when I get some advise about settings.
Also get a pair of 29er wheels being built for it.

Not often that I like a stock bike, but that's very nice.

Why do people hand bikes from trees? I just don't get it.

Looks great, Californian sticker placement though, only colour bit is directly in the spray from the front wheel. I'd be forever cleaning that bit.

Stock apart from the AB oval chainring, bashguard, shorter crank, Saint brakes, grips, saddle, King BB and Invisiframe protection. Then the CC shock and longer fork that haven't been fitted yet. 😉

First little ride on it today. Stopped a few times to alter a couple of things but seems good so far.

Not long before this wood will be full of bluebells by the looks of things. 😀

That is very nice. Pretty much the perfect bike.
How are you finding it climbing and on the flats?

Climbing is fractionally slower than it was on my Tallboy LTC.
Think that's just down to it being a tad heavier and not having carbon rimz 😉
I did however manage to clean a climb that i've not cleaned in a long time, but i'm just putting that down to new bike excitement. 😆

Second picture - bloke with shopping trolley.
Third picture - Batman hiding next to tree stump.

Stu, your last picture, 0604.
Tree stump, horizon, mid left.
Is that, or is that not Batman hiding next to the stump?
Yes, yes it is.
Unless you have a local infestation of panthers, you have film of Batman.

If he's the bloke pushing the trolley in the previous pic, he's let himself go a bit.

Rusty.
I have seen a large black cat in the local woods so maybe you're on to something. 🙂

Not a surprise to anyone that knows me is it. 8)

That's the first new "bike" i've bought in three years.
The rest have just been "swapping bits" 😳
