French & Swiss Alps 2012

[Guest Omega Man]

The Gambler ready to roll in the Alps

She is unfortunately a heavy weight, weighing in at 21.2kg's

 

 

I'm going to have to pack ultra light

Marzo and Code's with braided hoses. Good choice there fella. You will be thankful for the damping on that fork and the power of those brakes.

I'm so amped for another trip I'm selling my motocross bike to use as leverage (my wife hates it) to get over there and get the wife to come too.

 

Yes. It's that good.

Only 6 more sleeps!

 

Bike is basicllay ready (just tyre change and once over). Just come form the pharmacy... got some Catafast (Cataflam generic) for the wrists etc. Will start the packing process this weekend!

The Husky & the ATM stay!

So after much procrastination, i finally wrestled on the uncooperative Schwalbes and now i can say the bike is ready for France.

 

She put on some weight (1.2kg) from tyres (double carcass), cassette, dh tubes, and a bigger spring, but 18.2kg for a large framed beast, still not bad.

 

Here she is

Why do you think we're going to the alps...

Make sure you have beer ready for me when we arrive! No beer, no brake pads

Travel safe chaps.

3 Mutzig = lots and lots of vomit.

 

I think I may have found next years destination. Pila in Italy.

[Super_mil]

Well I'll be learning to ride a new bike on this trip. Couldn't say no...

Morewood Makulu (Cane Creek DB shock & Boxxer Noodle). It save me a lot of weight over the Gambler (like 4kg's)

I guess France is as good of a place as any to learn.

 

I will certainly partake in the Mutzig.

Nice. Marks one? I'd lose the boxxer for the marzo tho. just for the trip. And unless the other bike has good brakes get those codes on there.
