So after some sweet talking, the bosses here at JAC lent another beauty of a bike! I've already got the John Atkins Session
but this a little smaller and a very fun winter/play/training/mini dh/trail/do
anything and everything bike!
The frames a fairly rare Yeti 4x full sus that as anyone
who's owned one will tell you makes an awesome short travel go any where bike
as well as a more than capable racer as I proved in 2009 when I raced the
British 4x on my previous one.
The build on this incarnation is a bit more robust than
my last with some 100-140mm adjustable Rock Shox Revelations up front to suit
any situation, Hope Hoops built onto DT XR500 rims for a light yet resilient
wheel set, full SRAM group set for perfect shifting and as always Conti Rubber
keeping me glued to the floor.
I've added a few little flourishes to the build like a
PIMP Gold Hope chainring and a set of Renthall Fatbars both of which we've just
started stocking in the store! Hint hint ;-)
She got her first outing at the DTV local DH race in the
forest of dean a few weekends ago, a few pedally sections and plenty jumps meant this
was the perfect weapon for the job over my full on Trek Session DH bike. I can
safely say we bonded straight away and many bar turns and tweaks were done over
the jumps with the flat pedal at the top being covered at warp speed!
I'm looking forward to many months of fun on
this little beast!
