You need a bigger bike, boet.

Sorry - my base humour

After flirting with it for the last few months I've gone #FullFannyPack thanks to a CRC's big sale. Had got the inov8 one to see what the fuss was about and for R250 with bottle it's was great for quick 2hr sessions and carries fair bit of stuff but with summer coming I wanted more liquid (this has a 1.5l reservoir) and you can strap your pads to the outside for the long climbs. 

 

I'll get in first. Yup, now you'll see a Fanny on a tranny. Tried to find a half decent picture but there aren't any. It's a very uncool looking bit of kit but it works.

Why do say that?

The postman visited yesterday. Amazing attention to detail on this thing! Not sure if I want to build it or hang it on the wall though

Potentially referring to the extended seat post and drop to bars.

Bike is a Large, I am 1.80cm, always ridden on a large. The seatpost was a bit high in that pic, that was before I had even ridden it.

So far just the frame and a shiny new Pike RCT3 140mm soloair boost (hi Miles ) have arrived. The wheels, cockpit and components are in varying stages of transit at the moment, but I'll create a build thread once everything is here and assembly can begin.

Frame comes with a Fox Factory EVOL. I'll fit it once the cups and BB are in.

So i have officially become a WAHOOLIGAN!!
