What did you do TO / WITH / FOR your bike today!

[beeb]

Assembly went a lot better than expected. Unpiped internal cable routing was a new experience, but got it done without any major dramas. Had to run a new rear brake line as well as cable inners & outers as everything for the rear was too short, but gears are already tuned, back brake bled, suspension semi-reasonably adjusted, and she's ready for a spin tomorrow. Kudos to Summit Cycles Melbourne for helping out with just supplying a frameset from what was a complete build (and keeping the frame pretty much unmarked too), and praise be to Transition for actually having a well-aligned derailleur hanger straight out of the factory!

The random creak under pedalling (only) has reappeared in the rear wheel though, so will have to look at that again in future. But for now - close enough!

Fuck yer @beeb that looks so good. What a weapon.

You need more. Looking like you’re jumping with a stick up your arse.

That's just how I rock life in general. Longer dropper won't change anything.

I’ve got first dibs when you sell it!
That looks wicked!

I think you’ll find that the Shire Crew have ‘those photos’ of @beeb and you won’t get a look in.

Give me my obligatory two months riding first!

 

[hifiandmtb]

Two months, not a day more.

So much want, love the colour!

Local trails have been getting a bit of work since a race a few weeks ago, so decided to stay away to let settle and log a bit of elevation up the mountain a few times instead.

Have you had the four pillars Shiraz gin? If so, I'd like to hear a comparison please?

I've had the four pillars one. I won't be having any of this. Not drinking this year. Will ask the wife when she cracks it. Could be tonight or tomorrow

 

[Mr Crudley]

@beeb Another great looking bike.
You don't do fugly ones.

Love to take this one for a ride. You sure didn't waste any time putting this together.

I bet I know what you are doing tomorrow

 

[HamboCairns]

Put my old cranks on, linked the chain, fit an XT shifter and new cable and did one more thing, can you spot what it is?

 

[moorey]

Weeded your driveway.

 

[slowmick]

The DHF is back for winter?

 

[beeb]

Moved your spare tube higher up the downtube?

Nothing like the four pillars. The four pillars is better. This is more clove heavy and like mulled wine. Probably be nice as a negroni

Got out on the roadie today, first time on any bike for last 5 weeks, and first time since new baby 3 weeks ago.
Usual 50km Perth river loop.
Everything hurts. Knees, arse, hands, wrists, back, neck.
I’ve not done any exercise and despite losing a couple of kgs, any semblance of fitness I had was done.
Only me and my wife’s old man, and I felt like I was holding him up. Struggled to maintain 20km/h by the end.

Yes! I suddenly feel nervous about front end grip so threw it on.
