Ok, took the endurobro out today. Probably only knocked up about 15km but it was a breeze compared to the V10, who would of thought.
The frame is apparently from 03, about 125mm of rear travel, the kowa is from about the same year. The whole set up ran like a dream, not even one pushing session.
The forest is new Italy, nearly a year ago it all got toasted in the bushfires, thankfully regrowing well

What happened? o_O
Just a dud knee at the moment. Riding the endurobro has been much easier on the body than the dh bikes.
On a side note though, the lack of travel and lightness of the bike is making me a better rider, the kowa is breaking in well and is becoming a real comfy fork

Hoep that gets better for you.

Try riding 1-2 gears lower than usual. I get the same from time to time and that seems to help a bit - as much as I just don't like to spin too much it beats the alternatives that could involve even less riding, a visit to a doctor and a bunch of $$$.

Being who he is
I've been meaning to tease @Plankosaurus with this but seeing he is looking for a size L there doesn't seem to be much point.

After forever
My 2003/2004 Barracuda, photo taken 10 years ago after I had just cleaned it up and put it back together. Was being used for road duty for a while. Thrashed it all over Mt Keira and Illawarra escarpment.

Doesn't look so flash now after sitting unloved in a shed for the last 10 years!

Avanti had some terrible names for their bikes back then. I’m sure they had one called the ‘hotdog’ :oops:
