Here is my Ragley Big Al, mostly stock. I'm thinking about adding sq lab 16 deg sweep bars. I usually use Oury mountain grips, but I'm trying out chromag wax grips. The trails near where I live are so hard packed that they're basically a pump track, ideal for a hard tail. I put a 2.3" minion SS on the rear and I should probably consider a faster rolling front as well (currently DHF II).

The spec is not bad for the price of the bike: Z2 fork, deore drive train and a DB8 (Sram mineral oil) brakeset which has been ok so far.

I have the steel version in Canada (Big Wig) which is a great bike too.

Cool stop sign! Where is that? I need some of that climate in my life right now.

So many lovely bikes on this thread. The red Kona looks like a fun time.

Here's a classic tree lean at the bike park again (I'll try and find some scenery when it's warmer). It's a slimmed-down mullet Moxie with new 2.35 rubber:

Guy at work: "Hey have you ridden that new double-black-diamond in Squamish yet?"

Me: "Bitch!? I'm on a hardtail with a 68-degree HTA! You want me to keep coming to work or not?"

Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. Hitting the 30's C here now. As of now, I'm not missing Canadian winters.

Oddly I just got a wolftooth geoshift -2 degree headset and it will be installed in the coming week or 2. I'm sure I will be entering crankworx soon.

Ok, I'll bite - what's the point you're trying to make here?

As long as your seat angle is fashionably steep you’re sure to podium.

Still loving my Canfield! My poor Ripmo AF is being neglected. So much fun! Stole the front wheel off the Ripmo to try a mullet setup, I liked it! Might grab a 29er front wheel soon.
