well got out for the 1st time last sat and i have to say it is one brilliant bike,29rs seem to just roll over everything,next up is stans tubeless conversion,absolutely love this bike.
Mmmmhh.. Had my eye on this bike for a while, but everyone keeps telling me it's to much for the danish country side - but it just look so freaking cool!!
How does it ride, I mean it looks like a lot fun going down and over things - but is it a wet blanket uphill and on the flats??
You can change the geo on the bike using the dropout in the rear, right?!
Here is a pic of the new bike, 2012 Specialized Epic. Just put a set of Stans Arch Ex wheels on it and ordered a Easton EC70 seatpost. Going to put on a set of 3T carbon bars and call it good.
With the new wheelset and with the pedals it weighted in today at 26.6lbs.
Just finished the Selma Ti. For my daughter who will be graduating soon from college. Yes, it's a small frame and my first serious build, so go easy on me. Weight is about 21#.
