Hi guys - just wanted to show my old hardtail.
My knickname within my riding group of buddies was 'Mr Sheen' - the bike was always immaculate, and I'd even get off and walk around puddles sometimes...
That was a long time ago - now I've a full sus and plough through everything!
I kinda 'retired' this 8900 from offroad about 4 years ago. It was a brutal ride in the Peaks/Wales - and i struggled with the braking. A 160mm rotor up front and V brakes on the rear were a joke on those hairy descents.
So recently I whipped off my FOXRLT 80's and lobbed on these carbon forks. Now she's my 'tarmac ride', when its so wet and miserable out there I'll just do an hour on this and stay clean...ish
The frame is immaculate.... but boy is my EX8 a comfier ride!
Cheers
Steve
