After much anticipation, I finally got my very own Deviate Claymore. I had ridden a couple of Claymore's before this, but they were media bikes with setups that I wouldn't necessarily choose for myself.

This bike however, is a custom build that I made, using either components that I had previously had good experiences with, or components that I had looked at and wanted to try.

This ride was meant to be a familiarisation ride, to get used to the new bike and its nuances. However, I actually got familiar very quickly, and I ended up moving onto ride the downhill track and getting more familiar instead.
