Your pushing it bro! Good job and I commend you for your diligent 4hr race! RidEOn!

Many thanks Niko. This was by far the most enjoyable race I've ever attended. I hope there will be many like this to come.

That sound great! This is a good shot of the blue Pig! I think Im opting for a bagger to give the ultimate FR hardtail a go. I now have to find one in stock, even blue pigs too I cant find any in stock!

If you won't find it I'll send you one personally from the Europe if you want.

I might have to take that in consideration.

Some sites say the Ragley bikes will be in stock at the end of this month so, I will wait and see.
If not Im sure you can help me.

Did you buy yours a local shop?
If so, I would love to order if shipping is reasonable!

RideOn!

Mine was just purchased at some random online store, CRC did not have it in stock at the time. Lets hope the shops near you will re-stock it.

CRC looks to get them in stock soon! I would like to get one from my LBS but CRC seems less expensive and faster. I will wait and see, as for the Troof its in stock but I was wanting to try a steel frame for the first time. Alloy is great but I have always herd good stuff about steel HT's!

it's a weight penalty VS riding comfort, works for me

nikoniko (Oct 19, 2011 at 8:22)

I think me too! RidEOn!

very good pic mate...you are pushing it

kovaldesign (Oct 20, 2011 at 4:49)

Thanks dude. I always tend to buy pics from cycling events, it brings back all the memories when you look at it later in your life.

Mate thats why i film some of my rides.They will never be VOD or get many views but its something to look back on and show my kids.Im almost 42 y/o so i maybe dont have many years of hard riding left and im sure the vids will come in handy once i have turned into a road rider hahaha....good luck with future races and stay safe mate

That's exactly the point

Good luck to you too.
