3 bike lean, though my son's Honzo 24 isn't really seen.
My Sakura in it's final form: XT 1x9, Avid BB7 cable discs, DT340 wheels, and og KS Lev 27.2 dropper. I've been waffling on a drop bar conversion for the past couple of years, but for a ride to beat around the park on and take the kids to the playground, I think KISS is the premise.

I really love that frame color! The world needs more white, or in this case clay, bikes. Normally white would be a boring color imo but there really aren't a whole lot of off the shelf all white frames!
Edit - not sure why the picture didn't repost as well!

Sweet looking rig. I bet there aren't too many HTs down in 'Vegas.

I'm loving the purple and green...

I've taken one round those trails, it's bloody exhausting!
HT on steep tech is good, but trying to go fast and deal with braking bumps wrecks me.
Hi, a_hammer! Welcome.
There was definitely some rattling of bones but it’s a beauty place to ride on whatever bike. Not too many HTs but a hell of a lot of e-bikes these days.

I bet. They're everywhere [there's parking for large vehicles] these days.
C'mon folks, ride to the ride!

We haven't driven to a ride for maybe 6 months now. I guess you need to have decent riding on your doorstep although few extra miles is a good warm up.
Wow the weather out there. It's calling me to do some "underbiking". Think I'll singlespeed my old 26er with rigid fork and 71ish hta and Gravelking tires and ride some stuff that's otherwise boring. Spring is in the air.
Did something I should never do. Met a new local to PR who had a titanium Knolly with all the nice carbon bits. I lifted it up to see how light it was.
Wow, that thing must be rocket.

The redwoods on a hardtail is all time, it’s so good having to pick the steeper, slower and techier trails and just laughing your way down. My favourites before moving south were GOAT, sheepshagger, Jekyll, and Tihi. Dang, I miss that dirt.
Edit: beautiful build too. Love the fork colour with the sand frame.

Don't test ride bikes you can't afford if you can resist. If you can't resist, practice your zen.

Nice. Might I suggest silver cog spacers and lockring. Love the silver.
100%. This will happen when time permits. You’ve a keen eye.

I weighed my HT the other day and jt was a sniff under 35lbs although to me it feels light. I guess it's relative but do wonder how fast I would be on the ups on a lighter bike - knowing full well it would never happen.
