changed the pedals and fitted my old ergo grips

    Never been a massive fan of 29ers or Orange bikes but for some reason I really like that..... I think thats a compliment right?!

    But some people like Marmite......

    If YOU like it that is all that matters, they get good ride reviews as well, I wouldn't, but then I've been trying to decide whether I should get a FS for 3 years so far!
    Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.

    Very nice, except the ergo grips, they're the work of satan.
