Re: Winter Bivvy - date?

I don't know why tbh then Steve got me thinking about a fat bike too, damn him ;)

I just want a do it all HT really to ride when I don't need the big travel full suss

Yes I guess a 29er would be best, really miss my old 456 with 140mm revs perhaps I should just get one of those again??

Re: Winter Bivvy - date?

It's because I'm a polar bear ;)

You are right, only got my Zesty at the moment hankering after a hard tail as I sold my Swift last year as didn't get the use out of it. Thinking of getting a 650b when the 2014 bikes are released.

Re: Winter Bivvy - date?

I'm going to stick my neck out and go balls out I'm in for my return to the fold :shock: You've got Steve to thank for this and reigniting my need to bivvi by giving me my 2012 WRT T-shirt and the need to catch up with old friends :D Hmmm I may need to build/procure a HT for this lark again :geek:
