Budget XTC XC Bike

Rode into work via the Yarra trails today:

Seatpost bolt gave up the ghost too, so i finished off the ride with just the sheared end holding it together….

So i needed a new seat post, and i grabbed one cheap from T7:

Couldn’t resist more red anodising.

Plus i grabbed another stem while they were on sale, as the Crank Bros just didn’t quite feel right, so I’m experimenting with a 65mm rather than 80mm reach; as a slight bonus its 38g lighter. Just astounds me how light these stems are for such a chunky item.

Mmm billet aluminium:

Massive steerer stack for now as i decide whether ill stay with that length or not.
