I'm waiting for my new GG Trail Pistol to emerge from the Frame Maker 3000, lead time is 5-7 weeks and I'm at the end of week 5 now.
I need to finalise a few last items on the spec list, suggestions appreciated. At this point I just need a stem, bars and tyres I reckon. I went with the powder coated black / silver stickers so I think I'm going to go with a monochrome kind of look. Pikes are silver lowers, Hopes are black.
I'm trying to get it to be fairly light and lively without being a cross country princess (too late if you ask my son) so I'm sort of torn with tyre choice. I I'm pretty sure I'll run a Mezcal at the back but not certain about the front. Magic Mary? Or a Wild AM? I'm old and don't jump or ride mud so I don't need the RB classic DHF/DHR combo.
