But everytime I ride the Santa, I realise once again what a fantastic bike it is.What I love about it is that you can put your trust in it. It will get you through most situations.

Shebeen Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) Factory team rider HBomb's custom Muna Sparkle 16" SS destroyer!Steel is real, frame come through the ranks scoured from Gumtree and ridden in by his older sister.Graduated to it when legs were long enough to reach the pedals.Inspiration for bike was from Gulf Racing colours/what they had at builders. Spec's: Frame Muna Sparkle 16” cromo custom paintworkFork cromo custom paintworkWheels Muna Stock 16”Tyre Ponley 26x2.125Handlebar Muna sweep XCO 550mmGrips BBB lock onStem Stock riser one piece quillSeatpost Cromo 200mmSaddle Avalanche ZoidBrakes Sram Avid Single Digit 3Cassette SS cartridge 14tChain Clarks RED bmxChainring Muna 34T Direct MountPedals Nylon reflectors Nipper riders have small hands and fingers, and the supplied brakeset are practically useless. Adult version V-brake with setting dialled in to close reach and pull right at grips. Can do a stoppie if you have the balls. Upgraditis on this bike would be discs. adult sized grips work, and make the bike go faster (when colourcoded) Custom name was devised by Rider and mechanic/sponsor. Translates to forestfast, which is what we want to do. Mom still needs to do the headtube badge.

Shebeen Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 the 20" bike in the stable this beaut came stock off le bikehub classifieds. Was a well used but well cared for bike, Bjorn had done all the hard work to make it work better than standard. believe it or not, this alu thrasher with fork and gears weighs LESS than the smaller steel bike preceding it! cheap light strong is VERY evident with small wheels (although i think they're all too strong) 8 gears using Shimano's trusted tourney RD gets you up steeper hills without walking and faster on the flats without spinning out. Still working on making gripshift shift easier.Nice ad on of a chain guide and bottom pulley so it NEVER slips off. a bike computer! so much extra fun, and has been moved to back wheel so that IDT can be used with something better than Peppa pig to watch. silicone grips just get cut down to size.

Shebeen Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 The whole point of doing this photoshoot was an excuse to teach kids how to clean bikes properly!so even if we don't win, mission accomplished.Dad's rig got a shower too. basically stock standard RM Vertex 990 (2014 model i think).Also of lehub classifieds.love this bike, it just goes and goes and goes.Never thought I'd take a carbon hardtail adventure racing and bundu bashing, but have thrown alles at it and it's fine for more still. adjustments for adventure racing/long distance riding Still on 2x10, because well i think it works just fine, but got a shorter gearing on crankset to get up steeper hills. Bar ends, because i don't care what people think/say comfort comes first and for me this is still the best addition you can put on a bike if you're looking at spending hours on it. Saddle - see above on form vs function thinking. This WORKS for me bigtime, and i care fokol what people think (although it looks like spaz power saddles kind of have similar thinking).and wow, it's carbon too! Leather has been recovered by the builder, http://murraytourdeforce.blogspot.com/ some nice artwork from loved ones to keep me company at 3am in the dark slickjay007, Matt and Andrew_Smith 3
