AM Raaw Jibb

[Rusty_68]

After seven weeks sat in Australian customs and then realising I needed a 8120 crank and not an 8100, I have finally completed the build on the new Jibb.
Coming from XC, it feels very upright and cramped for me at the moment, but I'm sure I'll get used to it. Only just taken it up the tarmac to set the cockpit up a bit. Hopefully get to ride it this weekend. Gotta cut those bars down though.....

BTW. I'm shit at taking decent photos....

Looks like a bit of a play bike. Some raw porn there @Rusty_68

The new trails out my way in Creswick look like I need a bit more boing. Any excuse to build a new bike.

You'll get a sore wrist with all this boing

It's like the Hyrax I bought off you, but tighter!


BTW, the love I have for that Hyrax is unholy. Most fun I've ever had on two wheels, so happy I decided to buy it off you.

Give it about six months and no doubt I’ll be looking to sell the Raaw. I’ve already ordered my next frame. I think there’s something wrong with m?

Do the crank arms just fall off?

Because cranks dont work on it i'll give you $500 cash

Cranks work just fine. It's just that I'm a 175mm kind of a guy, so was hoping to get my XTR 9100's sat on it. NO WAY! Too close to the chainstay on the NDS.

Had to go for the longer spindle, so XT 8120's it was. No dramas with chainline or Q factor. Just add the 3mm spacers and "happy days".
