I made some updates to the Raggles; new brakes, drivetrain, bar, and fresh oil in the fork. Should be sweet, all I need is to heal up and not be broken any more.

I haven't posted any recent pics of my current setup, but not much has changed since the beginning, this season simply raised the bars 25mm and added a 40mm Chromag Ranger stem from the previous 50mm Thomson X4. Much better fit than before with the slammed stem. And finally went 142x12 Maxle Lite rear end after getting a new hub from Sun Ringle's great warranty department.

Those Shans are beautiful.

There's nothing better than an Orangina after cheating death with Digger.

made my surface to look like everyone else's, a 1x10 setup going to 30x42. have the shifter and derailleur on-hand if i can't pull it off. not too concerned about losing my top-end gears.
