Plans for 2026

[SFP]

Reality VS Hopes & Dreams....

1. Build up the '93 Zaskar LE
2. Finish the '92 RM Vertex build
3. Rebuild shocks and maybe sell a few pair
4. Downsize parts I will never use (more than likely that means giving away or trading)
5. Acquire a RM Experience in my size
6. Ride more
7. Loose some weight
8. Buy less.... ha ha ha ha lol
9. Build up the 91 Kona Exploisf
10. Maybe get the DB Axis in for a paint job.
11. More camping
12. Continue restoring the '78 Volvo 245 (she is back on the road and my daily currently)
13. Get my '02 GMC Jimmy back on the road and/or sell it
14. Sell my '81 GMC Sqaurebody (2500 Camper Special)
15. Finish building up the outdoor room/gazebo including the new workbench for bikes

Figure that is a somewhat realistic list.

Finish the bikes I've been threatening to finish for the last few of these threads and spend some time trying different builds for my new retro project.

Other than that, ride loads of modern stuff lots!

That is an impressive to do list

No new bikes or “upgrades”.
Two new bikes this year, plus a motorbike and I really don’t need anymore.
More big rides than this year. Whether that’s distance or just getting into proper mountain terrain.
Spend bike funds on basses and effects pedals instead.

Sort out all my spare parts and figure out what I actually have!

2026?! For 2025 I promised myself I'd downsize and get rid of the clutter & projects. That lasted about 2 months...
For 2026 I've one (ok, maybe 2) retro project/build to finish, then maybe upgrade or change my "modern" 2021 bike, things seem to move pretty fast in the mtb world, geometry etc is always evolving.

 

[Stressed]

Finish the Privateer.
Finish the Hoo Koo E Koo.
Fettle the brakes on the Monarch Ultra (and maybe put some front sus' on it).
Clean(!), replace parts and fettle the Mokomoko to give to favourite youngest daughter.
Ride the 95 Explosif.
Ride the Hei Hei again.
Think about starting the 96 Kilauea!
Sort bits- keep/ sell/ karma.
Buy more cheap SIDs because I love looking at them all lined up with no frames to put them on
Ride, ride, ride...

Thread Update....
Booked Bespoked for the whole weekend, so that's the first one chalked off the list.
I now need to book all my couch surfing venues
