Bike is done, might cut some bits later (steerer, bars) I enjoy it immensely so far!

100mm 95€ KS Dropper
Wide bar with a lil' rise, shorter stem

Old Nukeproof pedals
I also have a pair of 29" with...
Haha so true @maynard. I'm more a fan of TNG with Picard, DS9 and Voyager myself :p
It's the og command panel for the Yamaha PW. I initially meant to replace it but it's ergonomically sound and really, really robust.
Quick update, it turns out that my brand-x ascend II was facing the opposite way from the factory assembly. I just flipped it around while servicing it. Really weird.
That's why my actuator was on the rear left while my saddle/seatpost were all good. The actuator is now sitting front left.
So...
Really fun! Groupset is indeed barely used. The bike is solid and nimble. On technical steep descends, I don't know why but I felt confident.
I left the 3.0 tubeless on the front just for fun (2.3 rear) and the carbon bars so it wasn't that bad on the wrists with the rigid forks. I'll quickly...
tbh Gary you keep focusing on the word "compliance" but it is used in frame work, architecture, aviation. And it is somewhat used directly against "stiffness". Not that I care about steel flex but who really gives that much of a shit anyway :p
Still agree about your initial comment. Still...
Haha calm down everyone, we all just babbling about fun bikes. I do agree with Gary about flex and stiffness you can have it all with all materials depending on the frame structure. He's a bit harsh when he thinks something is plainly wrong but hey so did you on this one! Get a room already...
Interesting points!
Yeah I was sure I edited the title, my plan is to swap forks when I feel like it, that's why it's not totally rigid in my head and why I messed up my title heh.
@Jackware isn't the charge cooker full aluminum tho? I can also swap the fork when/if I'm bored
Edit : slighlty different bike, this is the most recent "Dad".
@Gary Repair-ability? Longevity? Suppleness? Nope? Genuinely asking
Anyway what do you think of the starting price? Considering that...
If he's not there by 20PM I'll just say something wrong that should do the trick.

It's 1200€ with an additional pair of road rims. Without them, the price will be lower. It looks brand new (200km)
The bike was assembled by professionals at Antenna Bikes

Vaccination sounds really interesting. We're also invaded by these fuckers in Belgium. I removed 4 off our cat at work (btw his name is Gary...) and another one off a man I take care of, in the last 2 years. Never had to deal with them before.
I've heard that bedbugs are also appearing...
