Had our first 29er through the workshop today, bought it locally very cheap neglected and dirty with a flat tyre.

It is mahoosive!

The frame was a real state so I cut it back and polished it.

Everything was rusty but responded well to some much needed oil but gears all change fine, so it didn’t need much work.

With some elbow grease it came up really well.

Everything was filthy, covered in cobwebs and leaves.

But after a couple of hours of cleaning, detailing, a new rear inner tube and a final quick service it’s ready for sale. Total costs £5.99 plus .99p for a cheeky celebratory Aldi beer

It’ll be on the bay of dreams tomorrow

Found some woods where i am marking out a simple, but fun trail near my house, and building a small jump out of wood to fit into the trail, to make it more real life trails.

i was also trying to take out my pedals and handlebar grips. Anyone know what new colour to get for pedals, and grips, to look good on a black, with a few white and green stripe frame. Please suggest what you think.
I have also been practising riding down steeper steps, and sadly took to much air out, and got a puncture. I won't be back on my mtb, until i get a new inner tube. The high winds, will also cause some disturbence😥

Green might work especially if you match the strip

Quickly pulled it out of the garage for a quick photo shoot this morning, it’s responded well to treatment.

Ciara stopped play so fettled the Spa. Put a new layback holdsworth seat post on to get my brooks a bit further back. Decided to stick with black to match the bars. Lowered bars 5mm as well. Just need to find an opportunity to test ride.
