That outer ring is heuge!
My frame is expected to be finished next week, should be shipped soon after that. Forks are on order, had to special order in the 46mm offset version for the bike, so another 4-6weeks on them arriving, shock should be about another 3 weeks as well. Really need to start listing the other bikes for sale, I haven't been on a bike for over two weeks due to illness (probably wont be until next week at this stage as well).
Planning a road trip at the end of the year to get over to Newcastle that will cut down through Melrose, Kangaroo Island, Otways, Tassie, then up through Victorian High Country, Bright/Mt Beauty into NSW. So will probably cut down to just the one bike to travel with, depending on how things go with the Nicolai I might buy another Gearbox hardtail...will see.
I just realised that one the newly delayed Nicolai timeline the delivery of the frame is going to hit the window where I'm out of the fucking country for a week. Had to ask them to delay delivery so as not to conflict with it.
