Is there anybody shorter than 5’8″ riding a 29er Scandal here? What size frame is it?

I’m 5-9 and ride a 16″ 456 so I’ve gone for a 16″ Scandal. With what everybody has been saying on here, I hope I’ve got the size right?
This is my newly painted Scandal which will be built up next week when the postman brings my rims!

Tim, when you put the big wheels on it, your feet wont reach the ground you short ar5e.

We’ll see!
Just popping out to do a quick 30 miles, maybe you should do the same to get rid of that big 29er tyre around your middle!

16″ scandal should be spot on for ya fella.

No points for single speed i’m afraid, but any extra for liberal use of gold parts??

Cheers Tazzy, but he wont rest until he has fitted his stabilisers and sat on it to make sure. 😆

Heres a pic of his 456,

My new build 29er. Local bike shop (Firth Cycles of Queensbury near Halifax/Bradford has done me proud with the wheels. Salsa rims with Pro 2 hubs.

What do you think?

I take it that sir has little legs and a long body looking at the setup….and you’ve got inbred stickers on a scandal….and worst of all you appear to have some springy/dangly thing on the rear of the bike, is it a kick stand? 😀

haha! – looks good to me although the bars look higher than the seat?

I’ve not ridden it yet! The post will deffo come out more when I have a go on it. I only just got the thing into the car, it’s massive!
Tazzy, Springy dangly thing? What do you mean?

Being a little person I like the idea of a Scandal or possibly Ti 29 er but does the 16″ frame look silly with tractor wheels or is it just me. Pics of built up ss 16″ frames please, I can’t decide….

flashes my silver scandal on here is a 16″

he means the derailleur 😉

It certainly looks very different after only having 26ers, but the more I’m looking at it, it is kind of growing on me! I can’t wait to have a go on it. The pictures probably don’t do it any favours as well, but lifting the seat does NOW make it look in scale.

A proper-sized Scandal with fugly mud guards:

M6TTF,
It’s been a long day!
HA HA HA!

The silver one looks um er “different”. (Phew I think he’ll never know I think it looks weird). What size frame is the graphite one?

The silver one looks um er “different”.

gopping is the word you are looking for but it’s a the mongyfreakboy prototype forefather of later more refined things like ti 29er on-one and the ragley TD-1 (which is ace)

The normal 16″ looks much more in balance 😀

the top pic of mine is an 18″, the pic underneath is the 16″ with a longer ETT than the 18″ due to bendy tubes.

Holly thread resurrection Batman.

Firstly many thanks to Andy from this here parish for the frame, Jonny Rocky Mountain for the brakes, MBoy for the seat post and Fotorat for the chain set. Just built this up for me and my son to ride as a replacement for my recently sold Haro frame. Not ridden it yet as had a bit of mild food poisoning today, so will have to wait to see how it rides.
