Some fresh paint on the 1st hardtail I built a couple of years ago, along with some mods to take boost wheels. Lots of issues with the frame but perfectly rideable and will do for autumnal riding until project #32er comes together!

This bike is so much fun. Needs some tweaks here and there and a bit too slack at low speeds for my taste, but it does put a smile on your face!
