Not all PYR can be boutiques right?
So here is my very basic but very functional older XC machine. Used for everything from long rail trail rides through to technical XC riding and racing.
Most components are low end Shimano with a full SLX 11 speed driveline. Really shitty set of lead weight forks which might be the next upgrade if I come across a nice set of older QR forks.
It bucked me off in a big way a few months ago, but I think I've forgiven it again now lol
