Looking to Sell

So with the Yeti ASR 5 on order, it's time to part ways with the Turner Flux. It's been a good little project, but ultimately not the right bike. The 4" of travel was enough, but the suspension design was built for speed, not for comfort. The ASR 5 has a more active travel and should bolster the girlfriend's confidence through steeper and more technical downhills.

I still flip through pictures during the Turner build. I remember keeping the build a secret, ordering parts and hiding them until it was time to build everything.

I couldn't wait to unveil the bike, so I actually showed it to her mostly complete (front derailleur was the wrong kind).


Here's a picture of her installing the pegs on her Tioga Surefoot 8 platform pedals.
