Backyard Bike Checks: Show Your Bike Some Love and Win

[Bike Hub Features]

I'll start things off.

Say hello to my very stock standard 2019 Specialized Epic Expert Evo. 

Might be time for a new tyre and some rim decals...   emergency plug of a hole right on the bead. It's held up pretty well.

I was planning on pulling all the bikes out for a group photo.

Not going to happen today with the weather here, but will contribute to this thread when I pull them out.
