Its Micky but not as you know him!

We have been waiting for Micky to buy a propper DJ bike for years. The sight of the cobbled together DJ heaps he was riding previously was hard to watch.

But not now! He's got a new Identiti!

He's changed! He's a new man. Gone are the manky old grips and home paint jobs, replaced with sleek looks, smooth lines and dirt jump nostalgia.

All things that are synonymous with Mr Micky Boswell!

A Blast from the Past: The Enduring Legacy of the Dr Jekyll

The Identiti Dr Jekyll has been around for an impressive 20 years, a testament to its timeless design and enduring popularity. This bike has been a staple in the mountain biking community, capturing the hearts and imaginations of riders young and old. For Micky, the opportunity to own and ride this iconic bike is a dream come true, as he fondly remembers the days when the Dr Jekyll was the stuff of legend.

The fact that the Dr Jekyll has remained relevant and sought-after for two decades is a testament to the bike's exceptional engineering and the vision of the Identiti team. This classic jump bike has evolved over the years, incorporating the latest technologies and components, while still maintaining the core characteristics that have made it a beloved choice among riders.

The Frame: A Solid Foundation

At the heart of the Dr Jekyll is a 6000 series aluminum frame, a material choice that provides the perfect balance of strength, durability, and lightweight performance. 

The Fork: Dialed in for Dirt Jumping

Micky has outfitted his Dr Jekyll with a Pike DJ fork from RockShox, a fork that is specifically designed for the demands of dirt jumping. With 90mm of travel and no volume spacers (Mat wonders if this is because Micky just didn't have any volume spacers?!), this fork is tuned to provide the perfect blend of responsiveness and control, allowing Micky to tackle even the most challenging jumps and features with confidence.

The Wheels: Loud and Proud

One of the standout features of Micky's Dr Jekyll is the Halo Chaos wheels, which he describes as "super loud". These wheels not only look the part, but they also deliver the performance and durability that Micky requires for his dirt jumping exploits.

The Drivetrain: Reliable and Responsive

Micky has chosen the Truvativ Descendant cranks for his Dr Jekyll. This drivetrain setup provides the power transfer and responsiveness that Micky requires, ensuring that he can put down the power and execute his tricks with precision.

The Finishing Kit: Dialed in for Dirt

Rounding out the build of Micky's Dr Jekyll is a carefully curated selection of components from the Gusset brand. From the 38mm rise bars that provide the perfect blend of control and stability, to the Pivotal seat and the Slim Jim metal pedals, every element of the finishing kit has been chosen to optimize the bike's performance on the dirt.

Micky's attention to detail is evident in the way he has personalized his Dr Jekyll with the Ella Connelly DyedBro kit, which he says "really complements it well" and "finishes the frame off quite nicely." A very British quote on what is a sick choice of DyedBro! 

Rediscovering the Joy of Dirt Jumping

One of the most compelling aspects of Micky's story is the way in which the Identiti Dr Jekyll has reignited his passion for dirt jumping. As he mentions, he was starting to feel like he was "too old to do dirt jump stuff anymore," but the moment he rode this bike, he was reminded of why he fell in love with the sport in the first place.

It's clear that this bike has not only rekindled his love for dirt jumping, but it has also inspired him to push his limits and try new tricks. Micky is clearly having a blast on this bike, and his infectious energy is sure to inspire other riders to rediscover their own passion for the sport.

Conclusion: The Identiti Dr Jekyll - A Timeless Icon

In conclusion, Micky's Identiti Dr Jekyll is a testament to the enduring legacy of this iconic jump bike. From its solid aluminum frame to its meticulously curated components, this bike is a true masterpiece of engineering and design, and it's clear that Micky has poured his heart and soul into creating a ride that is tailored to his specific needs and riding style.

But beyond the technical details, the Identiti Dr Jekyll represents something even more profound: a rediscovery of the joy and passion that first drew Micky to the sport of dirt jumping. By embracing this bike and sharing his experience with the community, Micky is not only inspiring others to follow in his footsteps, but he's also reminding us all of the timeless appeal of this thrilling and exhilarating discipline.
