That's a good one - instant classic.
Still ride my steel 1997 Stumpy every now and again and enjoy it!0 -
Cool - another Rock Lobster owner 8)
Love the colour of the 853 frames. What size is it by the way?0 -
Its a 15 inch,I debated between the 15 and 17,but because of my short ar5e 29" leg Im glad I went for the 15.
Took it out for its first ride this afternoon 1.5 hour local loop,its was fantastic.Theres something nicer about it than say an Alu frame,more compliant on the bumps and the small traill buzz sems to vanish.It cuts through singletrack faster than my Trance.I could ride it all day.0 -
that looks lovely
very tempted to get an rl853 frame. 0
