City and DH bike

[Cave Dweller]

This is my city bike.

Parts spec is a bit over the top but the plan is to get a proper road bike in the future (maybe a fixxie) and use the parts from this on a small travel dually/4x/xc bike. Alot of the parts found the way from the DH bike when i upgraded it.

I also use it for training and sprinting, so i wanted it set up close to my DH bike.

Very nice Turner ride there, looks like it has been ridden hard

How does the Turner ride ???

Hey Matt, what front lights are you running on the commuter, i need some as these 5am starts are quite dark & centennial park has no lights.

I like your Jamis. Simple and stealth, you can tell that it is a downhiller's commuter.

... as these 5am starts are quite dark & centennial park has no lights.

The white line Rod, just follow the white line :p

It get ridden fairly hard as a DH bike should be, but its well looked after.

Rod, its a nite flux vision stick, similar to this (mine is a few years old now)

Ever thought of clipping in with it?Nothin' much to add, other than ^^^ x2.

Clips will make it go faster :D

I'll suggest a slightly lower, longer stem as well - will make charging the hills much easier - unless the frame's already on the large side.

Both bikes are farkin cool.
Wouldn't change a thing on the Turner, except perhaps my lack of DH abilities :D
