Nice - I am currently building an Enduro bike, and using a lot of PNW components (dropper, lever, and bars).

Was debating between the PNW pedals and RF Aeffect.

Just arrived...!

The size of that frame...

But actually lighter than my former TREK.

First "official" ride this morning in the trails while the heat was still bearable. A bit of tweaking was necessary but very pleased overall with the performance.

I reinstalled my front and rear strobes and temporarily MacGyver-ed a retaining hack for my GPS and camera case.

An old gutted farm house that was moved on a new foundation and waiting to be re-born. I'll visit this site and document the progress over the next year(s).

Pushed for a new PR today at my favorite loop… It’s just shy of 6 miles, has some pretty aggressive climbs and descents. I think I pushed too hard though, as I had to take more breaks than usual which meant a measly 2nd on total time (38:15 is my PR, did a 39:47 today).

Set 2 new PR’s on the loop though, 10.7 mph average (up from 9.7) and 35.2 mph top speed (up from 27.6). Was absolutely flying, just need better cardio so I don’t have to stop.

35mph off road is no joke! Especially if that's on singletrack

After work ride. Bit more than I could chew when going too fast on a logging trail and took a tumble when my front wheel skidded on a wet rock. Not much damage but my upper left rib cage needed to be strapped. Please don't me me laugh... It only hurts when I breath...

Ouch. Hope that heals up fast. Sore ribs are no fun.

It is! I have a chest mount on the way for my GoPro. Have no use for the footage really, but just want to record some of them.
