[Closed] 2Souls QH 2013

Got mine already, awesome trail bike

Fantastic bike and really versatile. I rode everything from all day Alpine epics with 2000m+ of climbing to DH courses on mine last year. Best bike I've ever owned by some distance.

Nice thread!

2SoulsCycles QH 2013, Size L, built by "MikeLima"; RESET headset, Syntace and Hope parts - lovely, isn´t it? (I am quite sure, he will work on the spacer tower)

QH 2013, Size L, without braze on, from "One78" (parts for using the Lefty were made by himself!)

QH 2013, Size L, my own "horse", design based of an idea from me made by Rockenstein:

QH 2013, Size XL

More pics of the green and blue one please... it looks reet lush 😳

OK, I'm being lazy - what's the difference between the QH and the Slim Jim? They look identical at a glance and the description on the website seems much the same. Is it tubing, geometry or something else?

As far as I'm aware its just the seat-tube.

There was comment about tyre clearance but a Hans Damph fits fine in the Slimjim.

brandnew!

Be interesting to see how these compare with the singular buzzard

I'm riding the Slim Jim/Quarterhorse for 2 years now and I still impressed. I've tried many trail oriented 29er but never had that same feeling. In tight terrain it's quick and agile and at the same time it's totally stable at high speed.

Starting to really warm to these , can see it will suit my riding and the more I look at them the more I think they look ok .

Is there a uk distributer or do you buy direct ?

I fancy running one ss

Nice looking frame , shame they only do them with silly big clown wheels !

lock.

You buy direct from 2souls in Germany.

They're dead easy to deal with.

Just for the hell of it here's a pic of mine.

They look lovely, but 985 euros for a steel frame is waaaaay out there..
But they do look nice 😀

Want!!! 🙂

So talk to me about the steel ,the welding and why the are expensive,I don't mind paying the price just like to know why ,

Also what's it like when just pedalling along,the angles do look odd ,I can see it would be awesome pointing down but what about pedally single track

I've got a fast geared carbon hardtail now I want a more hardcore ss hardtail

custom drawn and reynolds 853 DZB tubing, stainless BB, stainless integrated ISCG,welded stainless seattube, galvanic zink plated before powder coating...and...

I wasn`t a fan of circus wheels,...but now have a QH (and a SJ before)..
its brilliant ! pedally singletrack and pointing down is unbelievable fun..
for technical, steep, switchback trails I prefer 26 inch wheels.. but for fast flowy tracks the QH is a blast..

crimargia - How is the XL?

I fancy one, im 6' 3"

I would say mine is the best hardtail trail bike I've ever ridden, ups, downs, across, it does it all so well, excellent in slow nadgery technical rock gardens too as I found out today.

I sold a custom built Ti ss frame so i could buy this.

I've not been dissapointed.
It really does encourage you to ride like a ****. 😀

Makes me ride like a real eejit. Popping off everything. Super steep drops with lots of rocks, sold my Nicolai Helius CC for it, best bike deal I've done

I'm looking at frame weights and reading anything from 6.5-7 lbs ,is that right
If so I'm goner end up with a around 28 lb ss ,not the biggest worry in the world

What's yours weighing in at guys

SSStu - now you've had a bit of ride time on it, how does the QH compare to your Yelli?

I can verify how happy cando looks on his horse!

Sorry for the slow reply Gota only just seen this.

It's kind of like the Yelli but with a bit more "lets take that line it looks a bit steeper/ rougher/ rootier/ boomgnarier". 😆

Boomgnarier. Wtf! 😈

You know.
Like boomgnar but more. 😛

Humour me - what makes them worth nearly 1000 GBP ..
Quality of build?
Ride?
Exclusivity - is it a Yeti thing?

Custom Color, with the new Slider plates (12x142mm) and 2Souls axle
