It's all been said in your intro thread but - that's an absolute weapon for a first big bike. Looks awesome, no excuses now

Well my first bike was a kuwahara bmx in the 90s. Does that grant me some excuses?

Well actually the excuse i would use for the next 6 weeks is "I didn't want to hurt it"

That there is a lookin at bike not a ridin on bike

 

[Squidfayce]

Sorry. Were people thinking I was going to ride this? Lol. You are 100% correct. This is going on the wall.

All the bad habits and technique I never knew were bad will remain unknown for the forseeable future

Very nice. Classy build, all the fruit without looking too fruity. Sure it'll be a weapon and a lot of fun!

Originally wanted the orange fork, but good luck finding one. Sort of glad, cos the black looks super nice. I was going to swap out the decals on the fork, but seeing it like that, it's the right amount of orange and in the right place. So will probably beat the shit out of it before I do anything else to it.

No fair! Took me 25 years to work up to a decent bike. Still working on it. Still, it is a yeti, soooo....

While I would have chosen a different frame, the build is very sweet! Above all else I applaud your level of commitment to your first bike. Take note people who want to ease in to things!!! This is how it's done.

It's a bad habit. Wife and I do these things. We both went for our skydiving lisences before we jumped out of a plane even once.

There's a longer story there, but suffice to say, we don't have our sky diving lisences.

Though I have jumped out of a plane like an idiot 7 times aNd now have a fear of heights.

Killed my rock climbing adventures

In hindsight, somone here might be getting a bargain in the near future lol

Woot! It's about me!

Its about time someone gave you some attention!

You're going to regret that.
