Same outcome with hills - they don't get easier, they just get shorter.

I've got a little work to do on my Garmin settings, but on the whole it felt fast.Enjoy feeling the burn!

Hurts. Requires Money. And is nerdy.
I’d give my left nut to have a crack at that trail.

You could just save up some cou s and fly over...selling your nut probably won't raise that much capital. Unless it has some special super nut super powers?
A left nut is realistically worth no more than $5 wholesale, even in Japan.

Riding with a good mate today, the topic of his spare/wife’s bike came up.
It was an overpriced sb66c, and when he went to pick it up, he gave it a good inspection, knowing their cracking issues.
There was a sticker placed in a suspicious spot, so he peeled it off and found a very obvious and poorly hidden crack.
Owner played dumb, but my mate pushed him on price and insisted he either drop price to factor in a professional repair, or pay to get it repaired. Bought the bike, BTW.
He then went on to describe the odd spec. Seller had attempted to cut weight at the expense of practically and strength....and had an odd amount or PURPLE ANODIZED parts....
If you’ve been on this forum any time, you know where I’m going here....
Couldn’t believe it, yet not the slightest bit surprised

No, my mate used to live in central NSW. It’s the bike his 34653 page thread was about.

That's fucking gold!
Does this mean we can finally find out how much it weighs?

He got the carbon professionally fixed and it’s been fine.

He saw the claimed weight after researching Norm and finding ‘that thread’ after buying the bike.
Needless to say, it was more than 12.3kg.

He bought is from Chops? Was he rehashing an old story or was this recent as I thought he sold that things ages ago.

Was years ago he bought it. He only moved up here pretty recently.
I’ve seen him on the bike before, sans purple bits. It just came up in conversation when we were talking about how manufacturers and sellers always BS you on the weight.
“Like my wife’s Yeti, for example.....” was the gist of the conversation..
Never! He must have taken some of the purple bits off, or it was the cable ties stitching the crack together that sent it over the limit!

1.5kg worth?
