What an amazing week I had in Andalucia, if you're planning on going for a training week I strongly recommend Vamos Cycling. The roads were silky smooth and with almost no traffic. Did 550 km with 12 km of vertical ascent in six days in superb company. The weather was a bit cold, but thankfully we only got caught out in the rain during the last two hours of the last day so I'm extremely happy and will definitely go back next year.
I'm super-happy with the bike as well, completely fell in love with it during the week. Works flawlessly and rides amazingly.

That looks like a great place to ride, thanks for the pics.

Thanks , they are super fun to ride just a single gear non fixed and 29 inch wheels. The miles just drift by.

Updated the wheels, gearing and drivetrain for the 2015 bike touring season. Got a 700 km five-day trip coming up in a month and at least a week in july. I just love how this bike rides. This is also my winter training bike and can handle anything from cyclocross to fast gravel grinding without a flinch.

Anything from www.WorkCycles.com. There is a dealer in Hamburg, where I bought mine. Too pleased.
i may have to "give away" my drivers license again…now i need a fucking bike for sure!
recommendations? my budget should be around something like 1-2k -
Got a new toy recently but realized I hadn't posted a photo. She is fast. Can't wait to see how fast it'll be once I switch out the wheels for something not so heavy, but that'll have to wait until I'm no longer a poor student

Had a fantastic day today riding around one of the offroad trails in South Wales called Cwmcarn with one of the lads from Mojo Suspension.
The owner of Mojo, Chris porter, has some pretty interesting ideas ( and as it turns out good ideas ) about MTB geometry. He experimented with very long bikes with conventionally speaking, very slack head angle ( 63.5 degrees ) and steep seat tube angle ( 77 degrees ). He has put his money where his mouth is and is now selling these unconventional geometry frames.
I am 5ft 11" and took out the medium ( longer ) size and got on very well with it. I was waiting for it to be a pig in the tight stuff but nothing of the sort, it felt very good. Pointing it downhill and it is a beast, loads of traction and you need to remember to keep your weight on front of the bike over the bars. Most regular MTB's you generally need to hang off the back of the bike when the going gets steep and technical, not the Mojo GeoMetron, it was a very confidence inspiring bike, loads of traction!
I am about to break up and sell my Yeti SB6c frame and fork and move the bits over to the GeoMetron frame, I was that impressed with it!

Really interesting, thanks for posting. Everything about the geometry sounds promising. I'm guessing it climbed well with that seat tube angle?
