heavy shipping suggests south of Sydney or southern sydney beaches. Dont get that moss at Avalon and the seagull in the bottom corner is diffinetly from the Southern Beaches flock.

Lukespook, now that is interesting. Comments on the Alfine hub? I have always thought that a good quality hub gear could be the way to go for MTB.

Nice tallboy. XL frame and your saddle is all the way up there!! Looks like a 4 inch saddle to bar drop.

Wow - very nice Tallboy. Damn those wheels look good. If only they'd drop in price a bit more.. somewhere closer to $1.5k and i'd probably snap them up. $2.5k is still just a tad too much for me :(

Agree with Hugor.
Awesome looking bike but I reckon you could have done with the XXL given the amount of seatpost and spacers you are running.
How tall are you?

As for the Alfine, you need to accept it only has limited range of 8 gears - but it does have 7 more gears than a Single Speed. The 11 speed version has had some issues, is more expensive and does not have the twist shifter option that I use with my 8 speed - twist shifter is great for grabbing a bunch of gears even whilst barely moving.
I found the 8 speed internal hub great in wet/muddy conditions - knocked off heaps of time in my last race, whilst many other competitors were having problems with their derailleurs.
I have had another Alfine hub on a 26in bike that has been very reliable and have not done any maintenance on it, other than cleaning and lubing the chain, chainring and sprocket.

Thanks for sharing that. Is the range similar to running 1 x 9 for example, or is it a bigger range with larger gaps between gears? Do you change the rear sprocket at all? Hope you don't mind the questions, but I HATE stuffing round with derailleurs, this has always appealed as a nice, neat solution, but needs a bit of an outlay up front to set up. Cheers!!
