I see you got the latest frame with the gusset.

[PappaBear]

Sorry ox, my english is shocking!  What is a "gusset"?

[Danger Dassie]

Sure is purdy, heres to many happy miles on your steed

[Ox_Wagon]

The little piece of aluminum that that reinforcing the top tube and seat tube junction.

[PappaBear]

Thanx for that Ox.

 

Jip, the previous frames had a problem.....

Nice ride Pappabear. Enjoy and be safe on it.

 

Just one thing. Remove the bottom bottle cage. Yo're gonna break your neck trying to reach for that bottle and it will always be covered in muck. Get a hydration pack to make you life easier. Even to cary your pump in. You don't want it to pop off and lose it.

i'd hate to be the person drinking from the waterbottle in that lower cage after you done a few river crossing and muddy sections. i'd remove both cages and use a camel pack

[PappaBear]

Thanx Mampara, jip, gonna remove the bottom bottle cage, have a camelback.

 

They just put it on, had a hardtail so they moved everything when they built the parts over from the old bike.
