POS The selfie

[pink poodle]

Who doesnt want a new bike? Most of my shuttle crew from the glorious days of freeride or die have moved on (families, work, new locations, fat, and so on) so these days most of my riding is solo. Last year I made an effort to hit some long ignored locations that I used to shuttle, long ups for wild downs. I realised it was time for me to be able to shuttle myself. As if a sign from the illuminati Pivot threw some crazy prices on a bike call the shuttle and I knew I couldn't hold out any longer.

I picked it up on Thursday and have spent the past couple of days cutting steep rocky rides around Sydney, you may even have seen my at the moo yesterday. It's all stock at present but I have some plans already:
- chip the speedo (this cut out sucks the bags)
- brakes (any advice welcome)
- suspension tune up front and rear (I need more ramp)

I really have minimal eeeeb knowledge, so if anyone has any other suggestions let me know. This is going to be a very fine tuned ride by end of financial year.

There isn't much graffiti on the leafy green streets of the north shore. It was hard enough to find this rustic bit of wall.

So much nicer than the previous 2 generations of the pregnant guppy. I would have thought the brakes were great on those and hitting the 25km/h wall is dangerous I reckon.

Haven't had a dog pic in a while...

Nice one Poods. It must have been a lot of effort to find one in a 26".

You will miss the 5km grind up that hill to the jumpy place.

Exactly where I was headed in a round-a-bout way. I was almost put off by the recent Bahn Mi post but I do know that he loves the long game

I'm impressed he was scaffolding the story in the Bargain Buys thread is the lead up to the big day. Golf Clap for you Mr Poodle.

I’ve always liked the Shuttle. Be good to see it in all its spec’d up glory. Maybe some matchy matchy rim stickers might also increase performance.

 

[DougalStrachan]

Wait I thought Shuttle as a name was part of the joke...... Apparently the real fool is me

Make sure u get sum of these

And

Or any other convertible helmet.

Then tell every other rider u come across how ur getting twice as many laps and u still have a normal bike at home.

This should cover ur basic eeb induction

Yell at people to get off the trail especially on a climb, call them 'slow', and 'railing turns and smashing berms' on a green trail. And always set Strava to a normal bike so you can KOM everyone, local legend everywhere.
