aint no mx bikes

[mxracer92]

just starting out the pedalling game , have never really gotten into it until i had a house break in and ransacked , stole a heap about 40k worth of stuff inc my 2010 yz450f race bike , which had a heap of money spent on it.
sadly the bike was NOT insured but the house stuff was , and part of the robbery haul was an old 05 kona , which wasnt worth much.

new for old i had 3500 to spend at a bike shop .. came home with one of these

its pretty hard work on the trails so i found out , after a almost full lap of kalamunda loop , ( almost died and got some vehicle help back to my car )

so i went looking for something that will pedal a bit easier and found this 2nd hand with very few kms on it !
i prob got ripped a bit for what it is ( dam hock shops !! about 1k for it ) but im happy with how much less effort it rides , not real keen on the paint colour thou .. nothin a strip and powder coating cant fix.

If that Stumpy is in as good condition as it looks I think you got a deal. They're a great bike.

 

[mxracer92]

Orig front tyre , rear looks replaced, orig grips , but I changed them cause they were twisting on me and had no grip glue left.

Mate is a bike mech , he reckons it's done bugger all work, little to no offroad , no chips n stuff on bottom frame etc. I was going to sell it as it's a large frame and kinda felt a bit big, I'm 177cm but mate made a few adjustments and it feels alot better , I haven't taken offroad yet so see how it feels between my legs when I hit the offroad stuff. or I might be looking for another one but med frame.
Went for 30km road ride this morning , love the susp lockout or I would of died otherwise . Can sit on 25-28 km/h quite easy.

Hard Norco Ride

We passed you last week when you were doing this loop if I remember the bike correctly (hard to miss that one on the KC) and commented that bike would be bloody hard work to peddle around the KC loop, good on you for getting it round though as no easy task on a full spec downhill bike lol. If you want to gte out for some trail rides on the stumpy which is a good pick up for sure pm me, we are not super fast and would be happy to have another bike mixing it up with us.

Cheers Chris

Yea keen for another attack at it for sure , how often ya ride??
