Am sitting round at home killing time waiting on my mates to get out of work so i can go ride. So i thought i'd post up a pic of my ride to see what u guys think.

I have some xt brakes with goodridge hoses and a tune seatpost on the way and it will be finished.

sweet a woody der that still alive.

oh nice ride!

Its a sweet ride it goes as well as it looks. Its the original 2002 frame so its a bit old school but not that different from the latest one. Main difference being 1 inch less travel and no platform shock.

are you in s. africa?

the US importers live about 10 minutes from me. those bikes are real nice. they also do a lot to support local races and comps and garrit is fast as hell and super smooth at the dirt jumps.

i'm in Ireland

I bought it off a mate who got it on a deal from the UK Dist they looked after him pretty well but then he went travelling for a year and when he got back he didn't have the time to ride it. So i got it at the right price and it hadn't really been ridden other than the few times i borrowed it off him. The guys in the uk seem pretty good to deal with from what ive heard.

I changed the spec on it since i got it, got rid of the boxxers he had on it as i picked up the dorrados on ebay for next to nothing and i upgraded the cranks and chaindevice last week.

awesome, go rip. you dont need breaks, all they do is slow you down.

I agree; I have been seriously looking at getting a Morewood as my next frame. You are certainly seeing more and more of them around...

 

[endoing]

How do you like the Morewood so far? I am looking at their Shova frame for a do everything buiild.

morewood's give me more wood

Its probably the best bike ive ridden over any length of time. The geo is spot on for a race bike. Its more durable than a 222/223 everyone in Ireland has one and the amount of stories of people breaking them is pilling up.
I like the fact its a bit different, that its one of two morewoods in Ireland and the other is the new izumu which is also a sweet bike as ive ridden it and when i change it the latest version will be on my shopping list.

It is a simple single pivot, solid rear triangle design. From what I hear, they do it very well and have paid attention to every detail to get all out of that design.

Joel, seriously, that needs to stop right now.
