Well then..

Accidentally did something stupid before in this thread so here's round #2.


Haven't been on two wheels in ~3 years, and in that time I've gained some mad weight as a result of BEER. Thought to myself "time to do something about this" about a million times in those 3 years but then the other day a bargain came up and I couldn't refuse.

Edit: It's been much longer than 3 years.... Here's my old thread: http://www.rotorburn.com/forums/showthread.php?96629-VP-FREE-6-month-makeover


Here we go:

PICTURE TIME!





Only one photo at the moment.

Note the monster rotor on the rear! F*ck yea! This will be changed for something a little smaller.


Future plans:


I have some super old Juicy 7s which will be going on ASAP
Same applies for an XT short cage mech and Saint shifter (about 5 years old, yet still brand new....!)

Things I need:
Cassette

Things I want (near future...ish):

New fork! Ugh this DJ3 makes me exit the Earth's atmosphere every time I use even the slightest bit of its measly travel.

Well, that's about it. Glad to be back on two wheels!




































































Cheers!
