I’ll start a for sale thread this morning, so as not to distract from this one

Looking to sell mine with bits. Full details in Classifieds but in brief; medium yellow with anything cage forks, rear wheel (northpaw rim), Acros headset (probably) and red front Hope hub. Everything (bar headset as still waiting for) is BNIB.

Frame arrived yesterday. Boshed the headset in with help from Captain Swavis 😀

Rides nicely but I normally take 6 months to form a full opinion. Its certainly a beautiful frame. It climbs fine – not as razor sharp as my only Ti29er but it was 2kg lighter and had skinnier tyres. It descends like a thug!! 😈

Very happy!

Looks nice Teacake, what ss gearing are you running on it? I was thinking of going 1 tooth larger on the back of mine compared to the normal 29er ss

Boggy – exactly, one tooth larger. I used to ride 32 x 19; now 32 x 20. Seem to climb the same as on the smaller wheel and is as spinny as before too! The real test will be the big climb tonight!

Cheers Teacake, that’s what I thought. Don’t mind spinny 🙂

That is utterly repulsive. Quite a feat as the frame itself is lovely!

OMG what have you done to that 😯

That is utterly repulsive.

Yeah, I’m thinking now I should have got some red Hope bore caps.
