My new best friend! I've only had the chance to have a couple of quick rides but so far am loving this bike, took an extra 2 weeks to arrive but was worth the wait.

Nice, and am just a little jealous of your riding locations !!! Any ride pics to go with this?

That looks nice, whats the spec?

Spec is all standard at the mo. Think the first thing to change will be the tyres as they aren't quite a grippy as I would like (took them out in wet snow yesterday!)

Frame : Era FSR M5 alloy, small/15.5"
Front Suspension : RockShox Reba RL 100mm travel
Rear Shock: Fox/Specialized remote Mini-Brain
Front Tyre: Fast Trak S-Works 2Bliss
Rear Tyre: Specialized Renegade Control 2Bliss
Shifters: SRAM X7, 10 speed
Front Derailleur: SRAM X7, 10-speed
Rear Derailleur: SRAM X9, 10-speed
Crankset: Custom SRAM S-1250, double-ring
Brakes: Custom Avid Elixir 7 SL

I'll be getting out properly from next week so I'll pop some good pics up to make you really jealous

Hi, I go skiing quite a lot in Bansko, what's the mountain biking like there?

I've always seen the potential, just didn't think anyone really did it out there?

Like the bike by the way.

It's great - there are loads of fireroads and logging tracks all over the place and plenty of singletrack too. The Dobrinishte chair runs whenever someone turns up and the Bansko gondola runs for an hour in the morning and at lunchtime which is quite handy!

There's quite a lot of us that mountain bike in Bansko now all Summer and it's getting more popular every year. If you get a chance to come out at the end of July (28th and 29th) there's a rally on which is really good fun!
