Just got out for a quick local spin. Bombed it into this chute that goes into a couple of switchbacks through some trees, before dropping down steep again. The idea is, off the brakes, get it under control on the flat left corner before you head into into the trees, then let it loose again. Left hander was still greasy unfortunately, so I grabbed brake and just locked up the rear. Rag dolled down the hill a bit but just took some bark off.
Get home and cleaned up and read this…

You'd have to brake really hard to stretch your rotors out to 9 inches from 180mm!

But the jump looks cool. Was this after the chain incident?

It's Not Easy Being Green
Got it to the Youies for a quick spin and checked out the work so far on Cressy.
All the berms and jumps rebuilt on the top section before the first rock garden. It'll be quick and I'm thinking the jumps are probably too short with the extra pace of the built up berms.
The entire trail bar 50 metres (somewhere down the bottom) is getting a refresh before the race in September.

That was after, it threw me off the first run down haha.
Went to put a crank in and just fresh air, so threw all my weight forward onto the bars and over I went!

Luckily going slowish at the time, but still managed to kiss the ground with my face. Should have been wearing the full face!
Warranty frame finally arrived and was surprised to find they did not want the old frame back.
Santa Cruz Hightower V1 XXL.
I had the seat stay crack repaired almost 2yrs ago, done by Carbon Steed in Brisbane who did an awesome job. I didn't bother getting the repair painted as I figured the frame was going to be handed back. It's been ridden a lot since and I have no concerns over the repair.
Have stripped it down and cleaned it up. Removed the Invisiframe wrap which has done an outstanding job however where the gaps were have become discoloured which is annoying.
5yrs of wear and tear.
So what to do?
a) Sell it as is frame and shock. What do you think would be a reasonable price to ask?
b) Repaint frame for $850 including new decals, then sell in mint condition or keep it as a spare which I don't really need as I've always been a 1 bike rider.
c) Build it up as a spare as is.
Interested to hear your feedback.

clearly paint it and sell in as new condition...only ridden to church by your unusually tall Nanna.

Down on the left!
How will it ever be in “mint condition” even after you’ve thrown a new paint job and decals at it??

Paint it this colour and there'll be no lie if you advertise it as mint.
Poor choice of words there. I'm not out to rip anyone off and am/will be upfront about it's history.
