This is my 2019 Giant Fathom E+ 3. I've done a few upgrades since this pic, but I still want to try a dropper post.

You won't regret trying a dropper, I think it's the best upgrade for any bike

Lovely bike! Looks brand new in this pic?

Lovely bike! Looks brand new in this pic?

It was! After it was delivered In December here, so the middle of winter, I took a couple of weeks to completely wrap the bike in Matt Car foil, change the seat, put on the lights etc.
Then I went out and took this photo.
I still haven't got the stand on, or the fluffy seat cover, or the aerial with a racoon tail on it.. or the carrier, or the AM radio mounted to the handlebars. Maybe when I have time in the coming winter.

Well if you run short of time at least get the aerial with the racoon tail!

I must admit that this caught my eye yesterday.
Would stop scratches quite well.

Sweet rig! Really suits the coil, want to do something with the suspension on my Rail too, stock set up too wooden and a bit harsh. Are you happy with the Lyrik? I've got the Yari

Yeah I really like the Lyrik coming from the Fox 36 on my old Trance e+, so plush at start of stroke with nice support.
She's a rooty trail bomber this rig!
