Downhill in Australia is pretty dead. If I sold the bike say next year, I’d be haemorrhaging money. I threw it up for sale just as an EOI and a guy who lived 10 mins away, had a quick look and made an offer that I couldn’t say no to.

I’m a bit sad today and when I walked into the garage today to not have it sitting there was kind of shit, on to “bigger” and maybe better things I suppose. It’s just a bike in the end Smile

I mean.. it's kinda the meaning of life tbh.. Eek Traitor.. Whip \

Let us know what the new bike is like when you get it. Am genuinely curious what the new suspension is like. tup

Also upon relooking at the design. It doesn't look as bad as originally thought. It's still no 2016/19 sexyness. But it does look like a mix between a canyon sender and cube two15.

Eek Maybe it's one of those frames that becomes a classic over time.

Why with Carbon?

Cracked 2 demo frames in 18 months

One is unlucky, but when the 2nd did it in the same spot it isn’t a co-incidence. Not crash damage either.

If my new demo cracks like my last one I won't be going carbon again, thing is I've cracked all my alloy ones too. Maybe time to take up some thing else.

It is even harder to find a better service in case of a damage...

Where? So we can check them, well actually mine is broken too, but show us the spot please.

Mine was the same spot as the guy with the pictures
