    Just under 5'10", 31" inside leg (I think…), 100mm stem.

    18" feels pretty perfect, slightly shorter than my Fuel, which is 18.5"

    Thanks. Hmmm, sounds like I could get away with it, but it would be a little bigger than ideal, which probably isn't a good plan for a race bike. Shame as the 1300g weight is very tempting! Especially if it rides nicer than alu…

    Its just a Carbon Carrera Titan frame with no stickers & a 2008 frame if it has rear canti lugs….

    DO you ever ride it like ?

    It's taken you a long time to come to that conclusion.

    Thanks anyway.

    Well I think you'll find that a Carrera Titan is one of these, rather than the other way around, it's also a Massi, and a Full Dynamix, among others.

    I did ride it ta, then sold it when I got my race bike.

    Overkill how?

    LOL!

    Jonny, what are you talking about?

    I've got a Top Fuel 9.9, why would I replace a carbon hardtail with a ti frame which would almost certainly be heavier!?

    I actually took some photos of it the other day, having been ridden quite a lot. Because I look after kit, it still looks in good condition. It's not a difficult concept to grasp!

    2k – for a top fuel 9.9 – you find me one 😉

    your picking on the wrong fella johnyvegas … nick will run rings round your average STW rider when it comes to XC racing – although is the first to admit he is firmly in the xc mince catagory on technical stuff 😉

    Having been out for a ride with Nick I can confirm he's a silly-fast rider. I can keep up with a lot of 'fast, fit' people on the downhills, but not him, so he's got the skills too. He's also one of the few people who I think can justify a 20.6lb full susser and get proper use out of it.

    He's quite a nice chap too.

    (Just to balance the praise out, his mechanical skills are shocking…. 😉 )

    Woah woah woah PP, that's not true! I'm a decent mechanic, I just chose not to fix my hub bearings for a long time! 🙂

    Not sure about this "quite" nice either! 😉

    Terry's right though, I'm good on fast, flowing singletrack, but it all goes horribly wrong on anything properly technical! A bit of fitness can go quite a long way though, ride through things hard and hope for the best!

    You're 41? Surely not, did you put in your IQ by accident? You seem to like World of Warcraft too. I don't need to know anything else about you.

    It seems a little odd how many threads/albums you have just about 'pretty' things. Because I ride my bike, I don't give 2 hoots what it looks like! You seem to be a hypocritical little troglodyte.

    You also take a lot more photos of your bike than I do! I have more photos of me riding my bikes than I have ever taken of them. We've yet to see a photo of you riding. Can you ride?
