Tom Howard's BTR Gasser that was acquired despite/because of a particularly boozy event the night before.

Nice bike. BTR’s aesthetics isn’t my cup of tea, but I can appreciate a well made and nice bike. I hope you get many years abusing it on steep fast stuff in the future.

That's a beautiful bike. Instant classic with some nuanced choices.

This bike is so snazzy I had to google some of the bits.

Some more pitchers for those interested.IMG_3998.jpegIMG_3997.jpegIMG_3996.jpegIMG_3994.jpegIMG_4001.jpegIMG_3999.jpegIMG_3992.jpegIMG_3987.jpegIMG_3986.jpeg

I’ve now ridden it, and it’s absolutely blown me away. Feels properly planted, super stable at speed but then pretty quick to change direction too. Amazing just letting go of the brakes and monster trucking into/through rock gardens as it feels compliant rather than super stiff like other DH bikes I’ve ridden.
