I'm 27, try to ride my bike as much as I can, dabbling at some mini enduro's this year but I am mega unfit, just trying to enjoy life on the bike.

May 30, 2017Trek EX7 XL (nearly fully custom)
£900 GBPFinally selling my beloved Trek Fuel EX7 2009. It was bought 2nd hand 4 years ago and has done me proud but I have bought a YT Jeffsy to replace this so it's no longer needed. The bike has had nearly everything replaced/ improved and those upgrades are reflected in the asking price.
Specs are below:
Trek Fuel EX7 Frame 2009 (XL)
Rockshox Revelation RLT Forks 2013
FOX RP2
Rockshox reverb 125mm 31.6mm
Mavic XM819 on Hope Pro 2 Evo Hubs (steel freehub)
Maxxis Argyle (Rear, tubless with stans, will need replacing before Winter)
Maxxis High tower 2 (Front, tubeless with Stans)
Answer Pro Taper 780mm bars
Shiamno SLX Rear (New pads)
Simano XL Front (Replacement pads thrown in)
Gears and cranks are original spec exept for chainring
Hope BB
Fabric Scoop saddle
Nukeproof pedals (model unknown but they are decent)
Last full service was about 8 months ago done by me, that was for forks, shocks, seatpost, bearings and full bearing and bushing replacement for frame. It has had only 4 rides on it since that full service, I was injured so that limited my riding a lot.
I can't pick up my phone during working hours if you want to call please message or leave a voicemail and I'll call back. I will respond to messages and texts after 5pm during the week. Location is also Chester not Ellesmere Port.

How To Not Suck at Being a Photo Athlete
Top article, makes me regret not taking photo's of bikes any more. I need to look into some back packs to carry my camera and tripod, I hate picking between shooting and riding.

I couldn't get a good flow down there I'd be stopping to look at the scenery all the time. Beautiful.

Pinkbike Poll: Is it the Rider or the Bike?
I've recently upgraded my wheels and tyres from stock and bought a 20mm longer front fork, the bike now feels more fun and my strava times have improved, parts definitely make a big difference.

Creatures of the Night
Don't know about everyone else but climbs feel so much shorter in the dark, I'm not doing them any quicker but it must just be some mental thing, I kinda love it.

Is Enduro the One?
This is why I see it being successful, I want to start racing after my fitness comes back and enduro ticks every box for me. With the trail centres we have I can't see it burning out over here, just hope it gets the coverage it needs to support new riders.
