Will have a dig about in the spares draw, think I only have parts for vanillas that short

I think it should be called the BBW. Niche, bouncy, and a type of fun only a few brave men choose to sample.
It makes me smile, the fact that it's yellow just ices the chubby cake.

Excellent

Getting the shock tune right is important- I dare you to email Marin and ask for their advice
Like that very much.

Absolutely loving this.
Having only recently experienced what 29er wheels and suspension feels like (Excellent BTW) I would imaging that this steam rolls everything in its way!
The re engineered rear looks good too!

Thanks guys.
I gave it it's maiden ride today. Just up to the last descent at GT and down (staying with a pal at Kirkton Manor). The shock is so fubar'd it rode comicaly.
More importantly things started playing up...turns out I'd removed a bit much from the RT...the inserts ovalised!
Is there a LOLcat for "back to the drawing board"?

What a fantastic bike! I want one.

Can you get a solid piece in there?

Ideal for a bit of broom handle I'd have thought

loser

I know tunki, that AHD is a right looser
Bear - I think if I'd cut less metal off it'd be OK. Maybe. I'll see what my technical consultant has to say:

Al this is V nice. Well done. Have you fixed it yet?

Stupendously ugly, utterly pointless, and I guarantee it rides like a sack of shit.
You are never allowed an opinion on anything bike related again.

Still borked...framebuilder mate has too much on plate...
...but I have found an old 1" fork I'll cut up and use to reinforce the extension-y bits and see how that goes. Hopefully next week.

a 1" fork, earlier;

I like the look of that too.
Did you manage to get another shock for The Thing?
Posted 4 months ago # -
Aye I have a float ready to go on it once fixed.
If I can get the rear-end re-done I should get a double up front also.

Ah - I was going to say - those seat/chain stays look a little fragile/flexy - looks like MKII will have to have something beefier! - What's it ride like??
Posted 4 months ago # -
with that shock...think "pogo stick"
Will update...
