Default Re: The All new Reeder Megathread

I've been all over the shop. Had 3 new jobs, got married, now have an engineering apprenticeship and am on the hunt for a new bike. The Strom is fine, but since I don't need it for work anymore, I'm after something more fun.

Most of the rest of us have bought Trumpets so you may as well get the Stripple...

Just got back from taking both the striple and the 1050 out. HO LEE SHEET!

The 1050 scared the living daylights out of me.

The striple was phenomenal too. So much stability...

I think my chain might be on the way out. I've tightened it up 3 times in the past 2 weeks. It's coming up for about 11k miles so not too bad.

Matt I wouldn't get a new bike again. They're only new for a few months, then you are just as well just getting a second hand one, rather than throwing a few grand away.
