Some of you old heads may remember me. I had the red Turner Burner that died in a garage fire. This is a killer upgrade from that old 4bar Turner. It was a medium and was always too small for me. The new Flux is a large, so I will have to do some tinkering with fit. But can't wait to wrench on it. It should arrive on Tuesday, and that will be a long night.
Congratulations. If I remember correctly, the flux has thinner walled tubing to reduce weight for raceresque rider experience. Time to slide the seat forward on the rails a tad and shorten the stem and get the right sweep on some bars. Enjoy. Steve
Wow Ted I thought you were just maybe going to get a Specialized something or another, that 27.5 will be probably be a very nice bike to ride on warm days since its super light. Nice choice.
I have to start real slow. No bike for over a year, so my legs are dead. I have a shoulder injury (electric skateboard) and I just gave up big tobacco. So I'm in rebuild mode.
