Kassiemier and myself did our first ever SS ride on Sunday at King's Kloof.
It went much better than we both expected, the bikes still need some fettling and finetuning, but all in all it was great fun!
Here are some pics of the ride:
And here are some pics of my Flint 29er (at various stages of completion):
I've cut the steerer since then, bought Ninerboy's Thomson layback seatpost and stem, and I'm thinking about some new brakes ....

Hey Treb that Flint looks great. I see it looks like you've found your magic gear without using a tensioner...how is that half link chain holding out though? I've done same on a Niner MCR and the tension was pretty good to start off with but looks like the chain wear is starting to take it's toll and I've lost a lot of tension and it's getting quite pap...will probably need to put a tensioner on at some stage.
What the other bike BTW?

There's a feeling I get
When I look to the West
And my spirit is crying for leaving

It's an absolute beaut, the picture doesn't do it justice
So much so I was not allowed a ride 'it was too wet and muddy out'
