Looks great that DY! Same tyres I’m running on my gravel thing. I really like them as long as they are tubeless. I ditched the compact triple and bought an ultra low double from Spa Cycles. It’s a triple with the largest ring removed. Running 26/42 with 11-34 8 speeed on back. Still not a low...

Looks really good that. It’s always about the reach for me but that looks like it could work.

This picture popped up on some feed or other today and made me think of this thread. Does this remind anyone of the classic nineties xc race pose? I’m not sure about anyone else, but this chiropractor-friendly pose is not my chosen bike fit these day. This is what the marketing folk seem to be...

Can’t make this weekend as have family over. Enjoy.

Might be a bit small but will ride it tomorrow and find out. Did they come in a bigger size?

1991-1994 Orange Clockwork I’ve had this frame in the shed for about 6 or 7 years now and never got around to building it up. Eventually found the motivation during lockdown. The back story is that I wanted to use some parts I had left over from one of my favourite ever bikes, a 1991...
