This is a how to ride manual.
It teaches you how to polish your helmet. Also how to ride in big groups.
It’ll teach your wife to tighten nuts.
Where to grease your shafts…..
and how to sit on something and not fall off.

Tons of learning…… you’ll be a better, more limber, mountain biker.

Namaste…………..

While it serves a purpose I'll never explore, it is a spectacular looking bike, especially in that colourway. Tis a bit disappointing that it doesn't have Brembo brakes, as that was the bike they were developed on.

I think the bottom cover has dropped off.

I wanted to go on the other side of the gate but the pedestrian gate, just out of shot, was too narrow to get the bike through. This was next to Devizes "white horse" which was actually so brown it was almost invisible.

doesn't have Brembo brakes

Big and bulky with ugly colors, no way for me.

I think the bottom cover has dropped off.

And all the mounting holes for said cover.

Bulkier than Mavens?

that looks very clever, plus a ridiculous amount of clearance - I just wonder how the exposed gearbox gubbins will cope with mud

Too many squares like Lego toys.

but the pedestrian gate, just out of shot, was too narrow to get the bike through.

Was it a "kissing gate"?
Not having seen it ..so dont really know if this would work in your case ..but removing the front wheel then pulling the bike up on to its back wheel and turning the bars usually gets you through those types of gate..

How much did that cost when you bought it new?

The pint was free as it was my round

That type of thing. Not worth the effort just for a photo. I just thought the metal gate I leant the bike on was a bit ugly.

Stopping to enjoy a nice specimen of Sarcodes sanguinea

On train home. Amused me how much longer modern MTBs are compared to road bikes. Everyone is struggling to get past it.

Another cracking day at the local bike park.

Pensioner's advantage: you are among the first when the park opens during the day. You get time to ride in peace for the first 2 hours.

My son-in-law bought my daughter a painting of a spanner. When she looked at him quizzically, he explained that it was because he only has to look at her and his nuts tighten. Her first thought was that he'd bought it because she is an engineer and that he thought she might like it because it was a spanner. When she was told the real reason she was quite pleased. Women!
Honest truth!

Nope. That rear triangle has me wretched.

Superb tyre and wheel combo though. Both do not get anywhere near enough praise. Easily as durable as FR541 FR571 and the side wall strength on the cannibal is bonkers. I have never struggled to mount a tyre like I did with mine and they have held out gloriously!
