Got this Jonrock special and built it up with stuff that's practical, 'cos it's going to be ridden...a lot :lol: No NOS nonsense here. Probably won't be putting slicks on it or cleaning it very often.
Already racked up quite a few miles in the mud, snow and ice 8) and its not half bad. Not comfortable by any stretch of the imagination mainly due to the forks having zero give in them but bearable.
