WilleJ, what size is the breath? It looks like a 16"? How tall are you?
I fancy one for a local/winter build.

Why is the Sanderson superimposed on that Background WTF!?

Hey Hora, you're right, it is a 16". I'm 5'10" with a 32" inside leg and it fits like a glove. Makes me wonder if I've always had frames that are too big.

This arrived on Friday.
First flight will be on October 6th if I can wait that long, earlier if we can do it without his mum finding out.

It looks like a quality job. It even has a proper V brake.

Willej, I'd love to have a 'go' on it if your local? I had a 18" Life briefly but the frame came up longer than it is on paper. a 16" of theirs would have been perfect. I'm 6ft1/33inch.

epicsteve, how bizzare - that so looks like a section of trail through the Beech trees, on the South Downs near Steyning, Sussex. Couldn't have been further from it in reality!

Wow that Morewood looks a lotta fun. Heal soon!

I've just finished my first 29er Full Suss build - A Salsa Big Mama with Maxle Reba forks and super wide bars (760mm). Had my first proper offroad ride this weekend and loved it.
Now my one remaining 26" bike (singlespeeded Kona Hoss) feels like a kids bike and i'm already harbouring thoughts of changing it to a 29er despite the fact i only single speed once in a blue moon.
I would post up a pic but don't have the first clue about how these computer thingammyjigs work so i can't......

Can't do pictures as this is on my phone.
So far this year (bear in mind I normally buy a new bike every 4 years on average!!!)
Specialized Pitch Pro
Specialized Secteur Sport
Specialized Vita Sport (for wife)
WeThePeople Pony Park/Flatland BMXCrikey. Do Spesh do a loyalty card??

Finally!!
got round to fixing dodgy brake mount and it is up and...rolling??
Although it is a 2007 bike it was never really used so it still spotless. Brakes and Forks are SH and have had reasonable use, but the rest is all immaculate (still has red grease in the BB!)
Colour is actually this
so kind of colour co-ordinated with the forks
