Yikes, that’s damn close, maybe spot on w 100 mm stem. What’s the saddle height? Can’t quite read this number.

It had to happen sometime…no damage to the bike other than major scratches to lever and deep but minor scratches on the other.

Unexpected water erosion had me dancing through boulders I’ve never seen before on a fast descent, and ultimately led to me flying over the bar onto a pile of rocks.

Thanks, I’ve been better. My entire left side took the hit so I’ve numerous contusions and cuts from my foot up to my left shoulder. Since I bounced off a few rocks I have lots of tiny divot-like cuts all over such as my pinkie finger, knuckle, ankle, etc…and rock rash underside of entire left arm from the final skidding stop (presumably )

Nothing broken though on me or the bike…

HI! Just joined after lurking on/off for a year or so.

Here is my Black Mountain Cycles - Monstercross Disc

Groupset: SRAM Rival 1 (now have Force 1 crankset)
Wheels: WTB KOM light23
Bags: Outershell (except tt bag)

Rode this bike to 2 short distance (30mile) gravel wins this summer and took 2nd place on the inaugural East Texas Slowdown 280mile route. This shot is a pre-race shot for ETS.

Welcome surfer pal!

It just goes to show, once again, it's not about the bike.

Are you running gravel King sk 35mm ?

After the last few amazing bikes, I almost feel bad about posting this POS.

How it's going...




Compared to how it started...

Such a huge difference. I'm really impressed that is the same frame. Well done!
