Steel, 29er, v brakes, 1x9, rigid.
Makes me remember why suspension is such a good idea! Really nice ride tho - so stiff when I want to put on some speed.

Seat post tastic...... err snap

How tall are you?
Posted 1 year ago # -
gears, brakes, normal bars, no superfluous tubing - unless those wheels are 633d and hand-turned from meteorites, you're nowhere near nicheland
(looks fine though - what's that on the seatpost ?)

Seat post tastic...... err snap
That is a 4 year old seat post - from my ScandAL - no problems so far. Not much choice as the frames are only 21".
That's a 29er inner tube and a 15mm spanner taped to the seatpost.

Other than the dangerous seatpost, I like it in an odd way. But the Vs seem inadequate to me. Horrific in the mud too!
What do you take it on?

I'm currently visiting my in-laws in the USA. Got this for $349 delivered so it is now the 'stay-at-mother-in-laws' bike - stops me going stir crazy when we visit this car-obsessed country. I have mech discs to put on it but the mounts need facing and just wanted to ride it! It is lovely on the roads and cycle paths - needs suspension for off-road really, but that will come.

That road bike looks 26" with the frame! Nice to someone else with beaters on the tarmac
Posted 1 year ago # -
You must get through miles of cables! And you'd get multiple bottle cages on that road frame!

The road bike makes me think you 9' tall

No niche would be fixed or clunker MTB (eh Cab)....

Have to ask, are you Mad-cow, fireman Rich type TooTall from the Mendips?
Posted 1 year ago # -
What is the seatpost on the original picture?
Posted 1 year ago # -
coatsey - not to my knowledge. I've seen the Mendips before tho.
Tim - same seatpost on both mountain bikes - a 420mm long FSA one I got from CRC about 4 years ago.

Jeeze, how long are you?
That's twice as much metal as in one of my bike frames....

I really like the Scout. Shame we can't get some of the American brands in the uk. SE and a few others make some nice looking bikes

www.youtube.com/watch?v=025Cb8sTQzILoving the bike Garry. When you coming out on a club ride?
Posted 1 year ago # -
I can confirm he is very very tall and I mean very !
Posted 1 year ago # -
tricky - less fat and more fit and I might - but I'm not road enough really.
Posted 1 year ago # -
'hang on a minute.. You qualified for the rollapaluza grand finals
it's fine.. Si (off of webbs) said he's unfit and avoids hills at all costs on club rides.
I think the KoS was thinking about coming out now as he has a new shiny road bike
Posted 1 year ago # -
KoS weighs about the same as one of my legs - including his bike. Si just straps a packet of custard creams to his handlebars and uses them for motivation these days! As for you - far too fit anyway!

Could you put a sofa in your front traingle, so the cheesey's can have a sit down and a natter while you're riding them to the pub?
Posted 1 year ago # -

Call that Niche?
Surely a "94er" (29"F/24" rear) soft tail, rigid forked bike, with a 3 speed SA hub and coaster brake, upside down mary bars and a front pannier only would be more "Niche"...
Posted 1 year ago # -
No - but I could get either trickydisco's or your bike in there in a sort of Thunderbird 4 stylee - or make a seat for each of you on the bottle mounts and you could help pedal.
