Ol Minty Brodie

[safreek]

Have a look at this beauty, it had been on Facebook for a week or two and then got sold.
Had better things to buy at the time, turns out the fella who was buying it fucked him around and didn't buy it in the end.
Along came freeky and snapped up the bargain.
It's a Brodie Devo, seems to be large.
From what I'm led to believe it's got 8 inches of travel at the rear and with 888s I'm assuming has 8 at the front
Going to take it for a commute ride in ballina after work tomorrow, fuck, when did I become my father

Anyway, back to what really matters, photos.

That's probably my favourite of all your old-school rigs so far freek. Like the white rims with the pale frame colour.

Noce touch on the sneaky dropper for when you need to send some stairs on the local commute.

I lusted after one of these so bad when I was in high school and north shore was peak mtb.

I have to say I was impressed by it's looks. I guess most would call it a toothpaste colour but toothpaste is so upper class. I call it light mint.
The bonus is I didn't even notice it had a dropper until washing it today. And it works.

Unfortunately it won't be ridden anything like north shore, probably a couple of laps at duck Creek with a couple of small jumps

Looks super @safreek

Enjoy your new steed and white is great fun to keep clean.

There was an obscure Machine Gun Fellatio album with a very gritty song named Mintee... I wonder if I still have that somewhere.

It looks white but is a faded light mint. With the amount of riding I get in these days it's unlikely to ever get dirty.

Finally got a day off and got to ride ol minty.
Didn't realize just how much work is destroying my fitness.
Did an 8 km ride with an average of 17kmh, even with the BB7 I was averaging 23ish kmh.
