Picked up new bike
Hadn't planned on replacing Jones so soon, but had been in to see my mate at lbs and he'd just got in the low end version as a demo bike. Had a wee spin round the block and looked at next model up. Went for the mid range one but still good spec for money. Nice alloy frame, Rock Shox Yari 130mm forks, SLX/XT drivetrain with huge 11-46t cassette and high end Maxxis Rekon+ 2.8 tyres. Brakes are Deore which don't have great lifespan by all accounts, and dropper post is a rebranded Trand X, but is at least internal and has shifter like lever. Got mates rates on it, so cost less than I got for the Jones, so money left for upgrades when needed.
Hoping to get out tomorrow for proper ride.
