cycling


The bike is a Giant xtc nrs 2004.
 It started with a frame bought from a boot sale (oh no) and needed pretty much everything from the ground up. 8 months later and its rolling.
 Forks are Marzocchi Junior-T, a triple clamp fork more suited to downhill and more extreme off road than I fancy right now, but wtf they fit don't they. Since these photos were taken the air shock has imploded and been replaced with a similar item. A stronger front wheel and a set of lights have been added and I am still trying to get smooth gear changes. Set up is pretty good for street and xc and if I drop the saddle a  bit, I've even tried going around PORC.  Compared to dedicated dh bikes this is very light and easy to pedal up hill and down dale ideal for keeping up with your average Lurcher in fact.
