New bike day thread

[red_flanders]

I think I found my dream bike! 2024 Santa Cruz Megatower, just finished the build a couple weeks ago. Been raining cats and dogs in Nor*Cal so I haven't really been able to put it through its paces in the gnar, but everything I've ridden is telling me it's the best fit I've ever had on a bike. Not a fast climber by any means, but gets over EVERYTHING in a way I've never experienced. Clearing stuff I've never gotten over before, never even close. Eats up the downs. So comfortable. I think the three big things are the size-specific chain stays which put me in the perfect position, the overall geometry at a 77.5° seat tube and a 63.5° head tube, and the stack, which is really high and perfect for a long-torso, short-arm kinda guy. I love this thing!

Anyone else get a new MTB or Gravel bike recently?

I bought the new Canyon Lux Trail CF 9 in the winter, the weather is very unfavourable here but it doesn't stop me putting the kilometres in.

Nice! Where are you located? Hope the weather clears up soon.

I'm in Central Europe, the winters are quite mild, it rains at least two days a week in the spring, so there's a lot of mud, not much hope here.

Crikey, where I live in the UK we seem to have two days without rain in the last six weeks.

Still an issue? Works for me. Seems others can see it. Anyone else?

Well hopefully you don't get the dried out moon dust we get here in the summer...
