Ahhhhh teeny weeny wheels 😛

Go on then.
[img]

Just fitted the new wheels in time for the bad weather.
They're amazing. They're so flickable and responsive, and they roll over things so wonderfully...
Oh, sorry, is that not the marketing line we're spinning this month?
Normal bikes. That will still be around in 20 years and not written off as a fad.

I love the way all the above bikes look proportionate, regardless of their frame size.... 😉
This should be a short thread, can there be many 26ers left?

Was going to marvel at the exact opposite myself. Looks like you're all riding around on castors!
(Own a couple of 26ers btw :P)

That Kona's so small it looks like a normal sized 29er. 😆

this can go here too i guess.
after a very wet ride Wednesday gave her a wash, came up sparkling 8) in the Thursday sun.

still think 26ers look the best, except very large sizes maybe.

I've not long rebuilt this thing to bash about in the woods on.
It's a deliberately obtuse angle to soften the err ... [i]functional[/i] look of it.

edit - the Blender will look a bit like this, but with Pikes and eventually some subtle orange detailing of selected parts!

Shoestring Budget meant I had to buy things that needed repair to put on it but super pleased with the result.

Damn you Metalheart, with your pictures of your Rocket on natural Scottish trails. That's a trail centre play bike and is far too long and slack for riding natural mountain trails. Well that's what I keep telling myself, so stop trying to prove me wrong OK 🙂
