So after months of flip flopping between buying a slade trial or building a dartmoor back to buying a slade. I did the logical thing and bought a Commencal. 

Now I'm waiting like a kid on Christmas :clap:

Here she is after the first ride and baby downhill. 

The bike feels amazing with its wide tyres and awesome fork.

Went round to DFO (Direct Factory Outlet) near the BNE airport yesterday. Didn't plan on spending money on something like this but it's hard to say no to the Aussie sales. Picked up Oakley Field Jacket's after being reduced from $294 to $118. Got home and did the obligatory fit with helmet. I'm pretty happy with my find  :thumbup:

They make you look serious :P

Since I bought a road bike in July I have been using my wife's mtb helmet when I ride as it's not as bulky as my trail helmet, especially with the small peak removed, it's just never fitted quite right.

 

Then I saw the below on the Rookie Sports website while looking for tri bars and just had to get it. First impressions on quality are good, will hopefully test it out on Sunday. Either way it looks the business.

With that lid you better go fast

They are 2.6'' Veetireco flow snaps.

Came with the bike, all the grip in the world but they aren't tubeless ready (because of the skinwall) loving them though.
