New bike day… the GT Fury (again, again)
Yes this is now the 3rd GT Fury in the garage of despair...
This one is another 2019 Fury, 27.5 both ends but this time in a Large. Logic being it'll be either the 'bike for the lad to grow into' and/or a carbon copy to be used as emergency spares/spare race bike.
So for Dyfi I think i'll be riding this one as it's a bit bigger than the blue bike.... but then for race season for the lad, it'll go to meetings as 'i've broken my bike' spares and longer term i'll have the sky blue one as my 'daft uplift day' bike. I've got spare springs to keep it the same as his current setup, but in honesty i think in a few months he'll be moving up a spring anyway to a 400 from his current 350.
It'll be getting the brakes swapped as a first job for some Guides, the boy likes Guides as we know and i've got a spare set and it'll be nice to keep the cockpit (i know i hate that phrase too)
This does also mean the Trek Fuel stays and will be next years Enduro Race bike for me..

Have you still got the Rocky?

Re: New bike day… the GT Fury (again, again)
We couldn't come up with a logistical plan so it never happened.
It was 305 miles away and the only way he'd do it was in person. Google had it at 5 hours each way... I just couldn't justify it.
This works better in most ways though as it means we've got a full spare... although i do need to make space lol.

I seem to fall through the parallel universes and in everyone Weeksy's purchases fall through.

I'm hopeful this one plays out
