New bike day

 

Bought the Cannondale Slate just before lockdown, went for a 60km ride today, can see the Synapse not being used as much as before.

 

This bike loves the deteriorating roads.

Not new but new to me.

I regretted selling my Scale the moment I sold it. So had to get another one. Couple of upgrades soon to follow, crank, tyres and a dropper and maybe a 110-120mm fork.

You could probably just replace the air spring of the fox32 to a longer one to get more travel.

But that new 120mm SID........ yes please!

Hi Jan congrats on your new Dale. I'm curious if the Lefty makes it feel heavy at the front. I'm sure it's plush, will be interesting to hear your first ride feedback.

I now that bike. The previous owner hardly ridden that bike (wheelset was basically new with awesome Chris King hubs) and he looks after his stuff.

 

Wishing you only good miles on it.

So I am not allowed to bolster the local economy by making online purchases in SA.  But I am able to import bike parts and have them delivered to my front door?

 

There seems to be a lack of serious thought going into economic decisions

 

Anyway, I have some new bling for a new gravel build I can't do

Items like this were ordered before I realised that this virus was going to ruin my business

 

Besides, what would you do with this bling?

Just collected a used Signal S940 2020 model. Still looks like out the box plus previous owner upgraded the cable brakes to hydraulic. Just my luck.

 

I opted to spend less on a bike in order to use remaining cash to upgrade the way I'd like. I could have just dumped 15k into a new bike and that would be the end, but didn't want to do that.

 

Next up I plan to replace the cheap Chinese 28mm coil fork on here with a Suntour Raidon 32 air and may put a stans Wheelset. Got the fresh bontrager set up tubeless.

 

Bike comes with a L-Twoo 1x10 drive train. Online reviews of their components seems good... I'll give it a try, perhaps later in the year 1x11 kits will become cheaper and I will get that.

 

It's red, so it's fast... Its work in progress. Haha
