New bike! 2004 Turner 5 Spot

As the title says, it’s a 2004 Turner 5 Spot. I bought it from Rodel (chaos on STR). I’m really stoked about it. Took it out today and did a whiting -> stt -> luge -> whiting loop with Rob (turnerrob) and Stu.

There are parts that I already want to change. I want a slightly shorter stem (70mm vs. current 90mm), new handlebars (want wider), silver hope skewer for the rear, and in a month or so a new saddle. Stem will be also be silver to go for a blue/silver color scheme.

She rides beautifully - very active suspension, corners well, and very stable going downhill. Felt a tad stretched out which is why I want to try a shorter stem.

As for decals/badges - I want to do something custom with SocalTrailRiders on it. Maybe just badge, maybe just decals, or both. The new screw on Turner head badge looks pretty cool.

More info on it.
