Re: The Desert Stormer; Military Markings!
Thanks guys!! I know it's not the usual type of bike you see in a RRBBO so I'm not expecting to place high... your words are encouraging!
Found Objects, the load carrying vest its actually a separate piece from the 1L canteen pouches. That's the beauty of the MOLLE system that you can configure it to the needs. You can attach also 2L canteens or pouches for different types of ammo/grenades/radio/medical stuff, etc. that you can easily carry your gear in. It also gives support to the back when you are carrying a loaded backpack. The vest I got it new on Ebay pretty cheap (like $12), the pouches and canteens I think at a local military surplus store, but they are also available online.
Tomorrow (Sat morning) its the big test ride. I fine tuned the derrailleurs today, the tire pressure, lubed the chain, tightened the headset and prepared some tools, tire pump etc. As I said it won't be an easy spin around the block, I'll take it to some MTB trails so I can also snap some pics (complete, not just parts and closeups as of now) of the bike in its element; I'll hammer it to see if something fails/breaks off!
