2023 GW Alligator 29"

This was the replacement bike i put together after my beloved GW jaguar was stolen and my collarbone was fractured during the robbery. The bike was purchased as a kit and i purchased and assembled to rest together myself (except the hydrailic brakes) I laced and trued both wheels myself. I used less US-imported parts this time, because it is not worth to have an expensive bike here, because of robberies. This bike is ok, but i am not happy with the conical fork interface, as it turns too easily and it feels wiggly. I may buy another (now discontinued) GW Jaguar 29 frame and transfer most of the parts from this bike, to recreate my stolen bike.
