I like the photos in the kitchen. You're either a single man, or truly love your bike.

Hehe. Why not both? Nah, happily married, long suffering and understanding wife. Started hashtagging #bikeonoven years ago on all my builds, and it’s just become a tradition. If I don’t, I get asked where the oven pic is more than comments about the bike 😂. I ride n my mainly Oranges, and the # got picked up by a few fellow citrus boys for a while, and they started doing their own.
TLDR, inside joke that stuck.

Nice bike.

You should black out the yellow on the Nukeproof spring and get rid of that spacer though, it'll look better ;-)

The fact that it annoys so many people is reason to leave it that way.

Looking at the Switchback FS 140 or maybe mulleting a Switch9er FS. Currently Riding a next gen Switchback hardtail and it shreds but looking to get a FS. How are you liking your bike? Can’t really find many reviews of the Switchback FS out there.

Done maybe 700km of trails and a race on it so far, and I can’t get enough of it. So quiet and smooth to ride for a 140mm bike. It’s heavier on paper than 2 other 140mm bikes but doesn’t feel like it. Raced it 2 weeks ago, on a ‘DH’ track that was super pedally, and it was perfect for the job.Knocked a chunk off my best time on there mainly because of how confident I feel on it (as an old man who is generally slowing down)
