My mince master in it’s carbon rigid guise

Been loving this thread. Had this for about 6 months…

… but a few weeks ago I swapped the bits over onto a new bouncy frame. I think my hardtail desires may soon be satisfied by a Soul, though this thread is giving me lots to think about.

Thanks for the extra info letmetalktomark. Have you got any current pictures of it, with proper tyres on?

The name Clark-Kent was a hybrid of the names of the company owners, Pat Clark and Dean Kent, and had no connection with the alter ego of Superman beyond name recognition.

Made me sad 🙁

Nice looking Ragley you got there but how big is the front rotor? Looks pretty big from this angle.

It’s a 203mm, went properly hardcore but it ended up being a bit too hardcore for me!

My Soul, now 1×10. And waiting on some brakes from Rose Bikes…..

Winter hack:

Summer fun:

my fave at the momment , its got a layback post on now

Titanium Global with rigid carbon forks, rides so smooth you’d almost think you had suspension all round.

Original Hope minis with Suntour XC Pro thumbies.

Black forks on now and looks even better.

y new Santa Cruz Highball it’s just over 20lbs, silly fast and the most capable hardtail in the rocky/techy stuff I’ve ever tried. I’m a very happy boy!

To balance out the fancy bikes on this thread, I proudly present my grotty Marin wildcat trail. It’s dirty, heavy and neglected but boasts more spokes than any other.

My Brodie Holeshot complete with new wheels ( hubs from STW classifieds 🙂 )

Sorry about the tangled mess of cables – must get around to sorting that out.

And this…

god damn holeshots. Can i borrow one for 50 years please?

Given I had to wait 6 months for it to arrive on my doorstep, I’m more than a little reluctant to lend it out… 8)

Little Spesh. Not remotely nichey or blingy, but it scampers up hills and dances down them – and I love it 🙂

chrisgiant – how huge is that frame?
You need a 29er old boy.

What a lovely description – makes me want one 8) . You should work in marketing Anna!

Loving the colour of that 456 too 😛 – is that ‘glo in the dark’?

Yea it’s glow in the dark , I went through A tunnel A few week’s back on A sunny day and the frame lit up neon green , it freaked me out briefly as I had sorta forgot it does that !

Thanks Mamadirt! That bike was a holiday romance…… hired one in Portugal last year and came home and bought one! And funnily enough, eventually want to get it powdercoated the colour of the M4 severn bridge which is not dissimilar to the colour of that 456 which is lovely, surrendermonkey…..

and yes, the back tyre did need blown up a bit…..
