Just some quick pics of the new daily driver...details to come. Yes, that is the one true size to rule them all...26.
I should probably add some details for those who are curious. After the recent involuntary transfer of ownership for my previous polygon Tridd zz (https://www.rotorburn.com/forums/index.php?threads/pantera-calle.317194/) I found myself in the terrible position of having to acquire a new bike at the height of the covid bike famine. I dedicated a few sleepless nights of searching for suitable options, but kept coming back to the unbeatable value offered by the Polygon Reid zz. Unfortunately this time around there was no mega sale to be had and I didn't want to risk missing out should there be a run on sweet bikes with an unfashionable wheel size. So here it is, the street legal! Except for the lack of bell, lights, and reflectors...so I guess it isn't all that street legal after all.
Frame: Polygon Trid zz
Fork: fox 36 talas (160/120)
Headset: FSA (Standard from warehouse, so obviously very high quality)
Stem: joystick 35mm (already thinking of sealing this out for a slightly longer stem)
Bars: Easton Havoc dh 750mm
Grips: dmr lock on
Brakes: Shimano xt (203/160mm)
Wheels: TWE custom dh wheels (it feels really good to have a local brand on board, plus they seem pretty sick wheels)
Tyres: Schwalbe table top (the great all rounder)
Crank: Shimano Saint 165mm (these things are getting hard to find, I want another...if you want to sell me yours let me know)
BB: Shimano saint
Pedals: Nuke Proof Neutron nylons black
Chain ring: saint 36t
Chain guide: Funn zippa
Chain: yeah Ive got one! 11speed
Derailleur: SRAM GX, 7speed
Shifter: SRAM GX, 7 speed
Post: pivotal (standard from factory), 400mm Pro post for riding to work.
Seat: pivotal standard from factory. Chromage something something for commuting.
Clamp: warehouse special.
Weight- 13.5kg (18/5/21)
I can't find my bike scales just now, but this is a lot lighter than its predecessor. This is mostly from the different forks, wheels, and tyres. Or my imagination.
How does it ride? Well as per my last explanation of the previous bike, it is poppy and responsive. Hopping the bike up things and manoeuver it around is really easy to do, it makes the transition scout I have been riding around on for the last couple of months feel like a slug! I will hopefully get it on some dirt soon and get a feel for riding it off road and in the air. Currently I has done a smallish drop, a few wall rides, some stairs, some more stairs, some side hops, garden hops, small shops, some more stairs...lots of gutters.
It really turns the heads with that paint job too!
And yes, I have some like DJ forks to sell. One day I will photograph and post them up. In the mean time, surely you want to buy my wheels!
