I've been crying over that since it came on. have revised the geo a fair few times cos at 5'9", how weird could it get on a XL?!?!?

 

Been looking for a vendetta for soooooooo long. There were a fair few on Pinkbike buy / sell about 12 months ago and I was super blaise about them then they just stopped coming up.

When a bargain is a bargain, i have been known to lower a few standards, ever so slightly. Hell I once even bought a white car, cringed every time I climbed into it, but the 2.3 turbo engine caused me to deal with the shame..

Is it worth installing loads of water bottle bosses on the frame for bolt on cable guides and frame bags and bottle cages/Holy Rails etc if it's going to be a packing bike? 

 

Just a thought. 

 

I am a huge fan of bolt on cable routing/guides and have made a few frame bags/goody holders that bolt in so I don't need a saddle bag, there is no frame rash and the bag/stuffs inside is secure.

we have a special feature for the front of the bike ... more of that in a few weeks time. This A.T.B is a modern take of the original ALL TERRAIN BIKE ( aka Mountain Bike ) that goes anywhere and rides over everything ...
