I think you’re getting the Asian emblems confused. ?
Red ball is Japan, red starfish is China, not to be confused with white sun which is ROC Taiwan.
(y) Yellow thumbs up is the universal symbol for “you’ve got jaundice.”
Pffft... fully rigid MTB?... spoilt bunny!
My first MTB was a single speed and it wasn’t even a MTB. It had steel tubes so thick, it put a smile on oil rig pipe-fitters faces I happen to pass by!
Duh, how silly of me. My old-school old-world sensibility forgot that there are hardly any straight uninterrupted seat tubes connected to the BB anymore. None of my bikes even do, haha!

Did someone say retire??!
Whatever you do, don’t use Gorilla Tape when you retire. @steve_sordy had heaps of grief the last time he re-tired... ??
(Great pics btw. Green or Blue lake? I thought that section got closed because some people ignored the no swimming rule in one of the lakes? Can’t...
