Hey Killer,

Flatten out that saddle. Make it parrallel with the floor. You're gonna hurt yourself!

Nice bike though!

6'5 and large frame and it is still a touch too small (I wanted that). I need a really long seatpost or an extenda post. 5'8 and small would be good for technical riding or dh

Mael, Nice looking rig, welcome to the White Bike Club!

BTW, I could read the sticker on the drive side seat stay, but not the ones on the brake side. What do they say?

Hey mael, we forgot the most important stuff. How does the bike feel? Do you like it so far? What are ups and downs of that bike? Is it stock?

Look for this months MBUK...it has all the stickers...a lot of fun ones. My gf even grabbed a couple that suited her. I usually hate decal but tastefully done I don't mind it

What are you suggesting Joe - that the bike basking in the evening sunlight isn't truly beautiful (even with a pannier blocking part of the gentle curves)?
