First ride/race on my new Hei Hei (tks Beepbeep)

[NZretro'er]

A few photos of MY "dream" ride Hei Hei. Turned up downunder from Sweden ... started life in the US apparently. Will build to full M950/original sids and crossmax but in the mean time threw it together with what I had for a little 42km race. The race took us up to 620m from sea level and back through some wicked country.
Was very challenging course for both fitness and climbs descents however the Hei Hei was great. I only had problems with the seat post slipping plus stopped at the top to tighten the brakes as this was my first every complete build and I didn't trust my throw it together skills as I looked at the first downhill.

Yip I'm a starter for the Karapoti although yesterday I would have told you to bugger off could hardly walk. Something to do with thinking I'm a) fit and b) 18

Actually you can hardly see the seatpost ... its about 4inchs too low in that photo !
