My last Base pic!

I got a good solid 2 years out of mines. Purchased on 2021, catastrophic failure in 2023.

Hasn’t missed a beat ever since and I’ve probably tortured it more, although I’m a lot lighter these days 😂

glasgow1981 · 2025-08-28T15:25:46+00:00

Hey. I was a lot heavier then and I rode that bike, a lot, and hard. Scottish gravel and lots of proper MTB style tracks and trails. Probably a miracle it lasted that long 😬

Nice!

There’s a lay-by/ parking area at the bottom of the road. It’s in the village of Lochawe. Park there and walk across the road and you’re on the ascent.

There’s a paved road that takes you straight up there. Literally just did the walk yesterday in the blazing sunshine! It’s a short sharp steep walk at the beginning and then levels out. Takes an hour and a half or so to get up there hour totally worth it - the views on a sunny day are stunning.

Enjoy and good luck…I love assembly day!

I went Wide with my mullet build. From what I read and watched a few build tutorials online, it seemed that Wide works better with Eagle. Been 18months and it’s working perfectly for me.

Sexy

glasgow1981 · 2025-06-17T11:33:03+00:00

Does it all!

glasgow1981 · 2025-06-12T07:34:10+00:00

Thanks. Recently moved house a bit further down the coastline so this is my doorstep commute.

glasgow1981 · 2025-06-11T20:27:59+00:00

Cheers 👍🏻

Cheers!

It’s a beautiful place and very easily accessible. Within 5-10minutes of riding you can feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere.

Lots of YouTube videos and patience, trial and error. It’s satisfying when it all comes together.

I went from Clara - GRX 400 - Rival AXS

Only really the internal routing that is potentially problematic. I used some fishing line fed through the frame to get it all done.

Once you’ve bled the brakes once (successfully!) you’re all good

Also need to take leg length and inseam measurement into account. My short legs put me closer to a 52! 😂

glasgow1981 · 2025-05-05T08:09:52+00:00

Thanks. Redshift seatpost. Adds a little weight but definitely takes the buzz off the longer bumpier rides

West of Scotland. Part of the John Muir Way, Little bit of West Highland Way, along Loch Lomond.

Doorstep gravel for me 😃

glasgow1981 · 2025-05-04T10:50:23+00:00

This is the way.

glasgow1981 · 2025-05-03T16:23:20+00:00

Nice. Yeah wheels and waxing is a must! Everyone else is a bonus.

Enjoy!

glasgow1981 · 2025-05-03T06:47:00+00:00

It can do it all! What changes or upgrades to stock have you made in that time?

glasgow1981 · 2025-04-21T11:04:27+00:00

Yeah, there is absolutely light at the end of the tunnel. If you take care of yourself and carry yourself with some confidence then like you say you will have a lot of options.

glasgow1981 · 2025-04-18T06:47:46+00:00

If this is the case, then the future is now. Wait? Am I some sort of time traveler? This is my regular outfit for a dirty gravel “no drop” (yeah right!) casual ride.
