Never get round to doing PYR's because I can't help but tinker and say the bike isn't complete. This time I think I've got the bike to a stage I'm happy with (for at least a week anyway).
As soon as I saw these frames I had to have one. There is something about raw. It Sat for a while before it was build as I purchased another impulse buy for no other reason that it was to cheap not to(pivot switchblade, PYR to come one year).
Anyway the first time I rode this thing I knew I was onto a winner. Having never ridden a hardcore hardtail I was blown away how well it rode. Also riding a bike with modern geometry is a hoot. Have swapped a lot of parts over the last few months but now happy to just enjoy and ride now.
