    Bike looks great but I have no idea why people take photos with dropper posts in the low position - it looks stupid!

    I have no idea what's going on here.

    Nice bike. I always wished I got one of these instead of the Reign X.
    Very under rated bike.

    Guess that solves the internal dilemma I've been wrestling with then...

    That's my normal seat height, are you taking the p*** out of my excessively short legs!!!!!


    Actually it was just in the down position as I had pulled it out of the car, and washed it, much easier to get it in the car with the seat down

    The lord moves in mysterious ways. I'm taking it as a sign to use my Baordman for this year while I (hopefully) get better at riding, then see what bargains are around on discontinued 2014 bikes when 2015 models land.

    I have lived in Lincoln all my life (now 28) and can honestly say there are not many at all lol, all are a car journey away.

    In other news, 780mm superstar bars, 50mm stem and new grips sat here waiting to go on the bike :)

    Plus the Deore brakes I have waiting haha
