Barry The Burner Bike
Barry1
So i found this frame sitting on hard rubbish a few doors down from me. i drove past a couple of times over the next couple of days and decided i couldn't leave it there so i dropped a few $$ under the neighbors door and walked away with it. I've built it up with some bits and pieces i had lying around, rode it up and down the street a couple of times and then said to myself "now what?". It gathered a little dust and then it came to me, i wanna see how far the old beastie can go as a free bike for the burner community.

Barry 1 was a bit of a fizzer, but i still liked the idea and when an old Norco popped up i thought i'd give the idea a shot with something a bit more exotic. Barry 2 is full of gnar, with a splash of cowabunga. he's an old norco fluid, with zocchi Z1 sports and a meticulously chosen colour scheme. the suspension lacks pretty much any kind of rebound control. Its been broken and repaired, the original owner (@Scotty T) wasn't convinced about the frame repair done on it, but i've thrown a kids bandaid on that so should be right as rain now.
Barry just wants to get out there and ride. he doesn't care if its a commute, a casual sunday play or a serious epic, he just wants to get around it all. Need something to get around on while the carbon frame is being warrantied? Baz has your back, no carbon here. Wanna try riding to work but cant see it happening on a 28kg downhill bike? Old buddy Barry has been dieting just for you. Don't wanna get your shiny unobtainium sworks yeti wet and/or muddy? Barry's the kinda dude that'll get down and dirty anytime anywhere.
only 2 hard and fast rules:
* If you break something, try to fix it before it gets passed on. if you don't have the means post up a wanted ad, I should be able to sort it
* Its gotta get passed on to another burner. Barry wants to travel so dont hold him too long.
We'd love to see some pics of his rides, maybe even a little story about the good times you've had, please at least drop a photo of one of his rides when you post u to pass him along. Also love to see him get covered in stickers, get creative, if you havn't got a sticker then maybe just sign him like a cast. If the frame breaks (eep!) please let me know, i'd like to hang it u on my wall and i'll happily sort out another one to keep it moving.
