suuup girls,

i built a sick trek session with the dopest hope parts this year and i wanna share it with you.
i feel really at home on this bike and it feels good knowing that i am on the sickest equipment there is!

ive always been a fan of black bikes, but photographers is not. by adding the purple i am just trying to add some colours to the bike without making it look like a lollipop.

from my pov the bike looks completely black and there is no flashy colours distracting me when i ride. pumped on it!

the brakes and hubs from hope are the most solid stuff ive ever had on my bikes. the hubs are just insanely fast rolling and the brakes got a real nice progressive feel to them.
they caught me by surprise how much better the bike felt with these parts. you should for sure give em a try!

it might be my own fault, but ive never learned how to trust gears. they alway end up skipping on me or derailing the chain on spots were you really dont want it to happen.
ive been riding my dh bikes singlespeed for the last 3 years and i always know what gear i am in and there is no maintenance.
pedaling is cheating anyways!

since i am and underpaid free rider i cant afford the direct HD link. follow the link to my profile to watch it in HD as you should
