DH "Mountain Goat" - Morewood Mbuzi by Belrose Bicycles

[Chuckie]

I love my Morewoods (esp my Makulu)

Picked this up a few months ago from Belrose Bicycles. was looking for a All Mountain, Mini DH rig and saw this beast up the back of the shop amongst some other pimp Morewood stock...had to have it.
Boyz at Belrose cut me a great deal and off I went. got rid of the old Sun Ringle wheelset and threw on some EX1750's

Phone pics I know...sorry, will get better ones later

It has seen some action recently at Oxford Falls and its a hoot!! the thing loves to jump! good fun riding back up the hill too. the tyres in 2.25 are surprisingly very very good!!

Thanks to Nicho from Rouler as well for helping with the set up and Adrian from Belrose for helping me adopt another Morewood into the family

You just cant help yourself can you Chuckie? Every bicycle you get your hands on seem to get magically specced to the max. Solid push bike man, see you round Oxy

Yep it has been to Manly Dam, Lucas Heights and in the last 2 weeks has had a couple of visits to Oxford Falls for a jump or two. Its a very versatile bike!!
