    This Monkey frames been hanging around in the garage looking like some fun could still be had out of it.
    So new fork, wheel, tyre and a few spare bits later it's been reborn as a half fat Monkey.
    Brings a smile to my face just for the stupidness of it. 😉
    I'm quite surprised how well it rides though. 8)

    Quite right too. 😀

    Aren't those tyres draggier than an extremely draggy thing?

    looks fun. Should be ace for the snow / beach / brumy back alleys full of condoms and nappys 😉

    It's less draggy that a 2.5 super tacky. 😆

    That's a special steel and concrete reinforced tree that I had built by a bearded shed dweller to my own custom design. 🙄

    It's a 2.4 Racing Ralph.
    Although it's the bigest 29er tyre out there it looks propper skiny when you put them side by side.

    Nice one mate, I started a thread earlier wondering about how and where these ride have to keep me posted as I'm very tempted. If I could just order and have it next week I'd have done it already but its ages for stock to come in. Enjoy and if you don't you have my mail lol

    Half fat = semi skimmed

    therefore its SSS's SSSS

    On that high note I'm going home 🙂
