BIKE NO.6 SCOTT High Octane
AM setup

SCOTT High Octane. Moj pierwszy 'full', zbudowany od podstaw w 2007. Po porazce z Big-Hit'em postanowilem zbudowac cos lzejszego i bardziej praktycznego. Zmienna geometria i lekkie komponenty pozwolily wykorzystac rower do jazdy All Mountain/Freeride. Przerobiony koncem sezonu 2008 na typowa maszyne do Freeridu - patrz inne fotki. _________________________ My first custom built full susser.

BIKE NO.5 Specialized Big Hit III - model 2006. Moj pierwszy 'full'. W zasadzie nie powinien znajdowac sie w tym albumie bo nic oprocz gripow i siodelka w nim nie zmienilem. Sprzedany na wiosne 2007. Okazal sie najmniej uzytecznym rowerem jaki kiedykolwiek posiadalem - niestety okolice Londynu to nie Beskidy:)
