N+1
New Bike, perfectly suited for the conditions.
With the current run of appalling weather, sodden tracks and cabin fever getting too much I have been wondering what I can do to get out there and escape from it.
This looked like a great way of being able to ride regardless of how damp the trails may get:
It is convertible from a "Dry" MTB to a "Wet" MTB with minimal effort, not quite sure what the NPWS rangers would make of it on the Perimiter Trail?
29er ss
Hi can anyone out there help. I think (know) I need a 29er ss can anyone help with the n+1 without the W-1. Also some info on what ppl's opinion of whether this is a bike that I could ride. Or do I just want something pretty to look at? (This is a question I can answer for myself), and because carbon is out of the question what is the difference between steel and alloy?
The drive train thingy (gears n stuff)
The rear end. You'll notice the complete lack of suspension here. An interesting choice, foolish perhaps, but everyone know's suspension is for girls 
The bars
The bars, cables, brakes and headset. Color co-ordination is the most important thing when building a new bike, right?
My new bike. A labour of love and blisters.
This is my new bike. It's steel. It's white. It's mine and I built it. Fairly happy with how it's turned out although as you can probably see I need to shorten the brakes hoses.
For no good reason (and against people's very sound advice) a lot of the components are British (like me). I'm particually fond of Hope at the moment as you can probably tell.
Anyway, comments n stuff would be much appreciated
Cheers
Steve
Good Goose
Yeah
Thanks Mark..I have no children (far from that) so I put all my time, money and effort into looking after the Goose. I love it and would like to keep it, but cant have three bikes so this has to go.
Anyone have any idea's on what I should get? I want a do it all BIKE! Lets say that one again.."A Do It All Mountain Hungry Machine". One that rides up a hill with ease but rides down faster then a keg of beer!
What about those Nomads??
Yeti 575 - Rob Spec
Some of you might have heard I was working on a little project, well here it is in all it's glory.
I know, I know, not another 575! Sorry, couldn't resist.
However, the twist that not many will have at the mo is that front fork - Talas 32 RLC QR15. That dictated Hope Pro II hubs which are built with Mavic 819XM rims as you can see.
Clearly this is more of a play bike than a weight weenie XC weapon. Although that said, it fair ripped up the Dam this arvo! 
(N-1)+1= Really happy!
So on the same day I sold my reign X1 and picked up this bad boy. First impressions are that its amazing. It pedals sooo well with the DHX 5. On that note though, the first thing to strike me is how high the gearing is. Even though its a Dh bike, I'd really like to have a granny gear just for pottering about in at the bottom of runs. Its also reasonably heavy. The Fox 40s are HUGE! and all in al it just soaks up everything. Can't wait to get it on the trails although that won't be for a while because Im away for two weeks army.
Enjoy.
