the only horrible thing about that is the ginormomassive pedals. Do you have feet like sideshow bob?

for Tazzy's foot fetish, feet in situ

Fair enough, i suppose SS would be hard work on the local alpine terrain...

This was just wrong:
Not least for the Trek advertising slogan “the inverse mullet – party in the front, all business in the back”.
Having said which, I have thoughts of building a rigid 69er as I bet it would make a good winter hack.

Rocketdog - Singular forks there?
I'm tempted to try the hummingbird in 69er mode but want a cheap wheel to see if I hate it.

"the only horrible thing about that is the ginormomassive pedals"
Bloody hell, did you lose your eyes in some sort of accident? If you dismantled the bike then each bit would be ok, but none of them go together. I wouldn't be surprised if half the spokes are DTs and the other half are Sapims. He's probably dismantled his bearings and put Finish Line grease in one side and Shimano grease in the other; fitted one grip with WD-40 and the other with hairspray. The man should be locked up, or at least banned from Flickr. I might click through and hit the "report abuse" button.

Hi Rocketdog,
How does the Wanga handle with your 69er set up? I have the same frame and was thinking about doing this.
Cheers,
Mark.Posted 6 months ago # -
Ming, it works very well with the shorter forks, not so well with 29er sus forks

Trek 69er is an ace fun bike, not convinced better than a good 29er but loved them all the same*
*but only in rootbeer, the other paintjob and proper forks set up was just wrong

a recent build quite liking the penny farthing

ooh that carver looks fab!

Agree with RD that looks nice.
How about some of these. Please note they are not mine...

Gary, there I was thinking you were a man of taste. You know I could do you a screaming deal on a Lg Hummingbird?
Posted 6 months ago # -
I run a 69er 2005 Jekyll which works surprisingly well as the geometry can be adjusted to compensate for the front wheel and a Lefty Max is an easy conversion
no pics, sorry

Thanks RD, was thinking of running it rigid anyway. Out of interest what is the axel to crown length of the hummingbird forks?
Cheers,
