Nope, he is just a Cockapoo with the Merle Gene.

Pretty sure they released the TBLTC [HTML_REMOVED] TBLTA at the same time. This one has what looks like a 12mm axle so…

So I'm retiring wobbly wilbur this week. Gonna be another super-un-cool 26" wheeled bicycle this time with 5.7 inches of rear wheel shonks. I doubt I will have any fun riding it. Might get a beefier fork as I'm finding the Revelation to be a little limiting when in "teh gnar". We'll see.

Your insistence on continuing to use an archaic wheel size will no doubt result in a 50-75% reduction in bicycle riding enjoyment. You have been warned.

Actually enjoyment is inversely proportionate to wheel size:) Unfortunately speed is directly proportionate:(

Well, this is the nicest bike I've ever owned, or at least the most colour coordinated. Dizzy's helped me out with most of the kit including the shock services, the Enduro pivot bearings and the spanky new drivetrain.

Should last me another couple of years unless it gets stolen (again…) or I get a bonus and finally get me a Rocky Mountain Altitude…

Really looking forward to going tubeless on it now I have some tubeless compatible wheels and tyres, should save a couple of hundred grams of 'freeride' innertube at each end. Really deserves a nice seatpost too, hopefully lots of second hand layback Thompsons at the gear swap next weekend!
