About time i posted something
Well its been about 18months since I joined rotorburn so about time for my first post.
My name is Andrew, I am 30, 6'3" and weigh somewhere in the vicinity of 108-115kg whilst riding depending if i take camelbak etc. I tend to ride more on the side of all mountainish I guess at ourimbah, awaba, glenrock. I can't jump or do big drops and I am sure its to do with my body positioning as I used to be ok when i was 15 and half my weight.
I have 4 bikes all up, initially starting with a specialized hardrock which i have since built up with some mavic819's running crossmark tubeless, 2008 revelation 426's and some xt brakes as I found the initial tora's and avid 3 brakes just didnt handle me on the trail.
I then picked up an Ironhorse 6.4 to handle my inability to pick decent smooth lines on fire trails etc. Its a great little bike but has now been superceded by a reign x0 which i think is brilliant. The reign x0 was built pretty much from scratch, frame from a fellow rotorburner, drive train, brakes and wheel set from chain reaction and forks, 2010 revelation team uturns from lbs, drift bikes.
Finally the last bike is a morewood ndiza, built almost entirely from fellow rotorburner bits with the exception of a new set of cranks which i picked up from crc. This bike is brilliant as well, i would like to upgrade the forks in the future but other then that I am very happy with it. I just wish i had somewhere more 4x ish to ride it in Newcastle. It is great fun through Glenrock and if i switched up to some larger tyres i think it would be a blast at the ourimbah dh course where I have taken the ironhorse 6.4 before.
So that pretty much covers my introduction. Will probably post up some pics of my various bikes in the standard post your "xxxx" bike here thread down the line.
