[Closed] Show me your SS 29er's

Black stem and silver seatpost?
The style police will be soon along to add their comments.
I think it looks mint!

I love everything about your bike OP but it does look like it needs to get out more.

I bet its a bugger to use with no pedals...

Love the rear hub. All black so it gets my vote. Very nice.

Twas it's first outing, purely for the pics 🙂

Trust me, it's filthy now 🙂

Post yours.

An old faithful bike, so simple, very zingy, a real pleasure.

No photo of my Singular Swift sine it's been SS'ed #MustRectifyThatSoon

Nothing fancy ... just my inbred.

Must take some more pics since fitting the flat carbon bars...but in the meantime here's my latest creation.

My hybrid.

Current set up as work bike for lunchtime rides and to get into town with large gear.

@NBT, what saddle are you running? Cheers

Fr0sty - what bars have yougot on there? How wide?

[quote=fr0sty ]@NBT, what saddle are you running? Cheers

it's a cheap specialized body geometry saddle from the spares bin - I picked up from the classifieds here I think. The WTB Rocket V from the 26er SS will be going on soon

@5thumbs - The bars are Mt Zoom 25.4, the wide option (640mm) which are bar-end friendly, apparently. They are silly light at 109g, and have a 9 degree sweep I think.

They are even nicer in the flesh; great carbon layup and the finish is gorgeous in the sun.

Thanks for all the compliments folks.

Let's see more rigids/ss 29ers!

Does anyone else think that 29er's are uberbent if the frame size is less than 18".

Statement than a question!

Mine's a 16 and I htink it looks and rides great. You don't have to agree.

Does anyone else think that 29er's are uberbent if the frame size is less than 18".

Depends on the frame, some wear it better than others and i happen to think the on ones pull it off quite well. My canfield however looks daft in small sizes....albeit no worse than other extreme such as a 20" Orange 5 which looks ludicrous.

Can't wait to build up my new Swift tomorrow.

My Gryphon earlier this year.

(He's had a pretty easy summer, given that my Swift is doing most of the work, but the Swift is 3 x 10, so disqualified from this thread)

As a rigid SS should be! Covered in mud!

My favourite bike 🙂

Headset has gone digital 🙁

Inspiring stuff, half the bits bought for my SS Inbred, can't wait to get it finished.
Wheels next on the list, recommendations? Cheaper the better... 😉

Just stop it! All of you, now!

I don't have any more room for bikes and my bank balance is very unhealthy so please stop posting up these ridiculous frankenbikes that I definitely, definitely don't want.

Agreed. Stop it now all of you because I definitely don't want to buy this

[img] [/img]

Especially not at this price

Phew, thankfully that Surly isn't in my size. However, that Cannondale SL3 is... damn, damn, damn... must resist...

2orangey4crows- ordered one of those Cannondales yeasterday, too much of a bargain to pass up. Will post a picture when it's delivered.

What I really need you to do is tell me how rubbish it is and how much you regret spending the money!

OCB - I'm lusting after that gryphon!

Curtis XC9

Finally finished, parts from the spares box, hubs were part of some 26" wheels I bought off hee then rebuilt to a proper size, frame again was off here and from Portugal.

shortcut - that Singular looks lovely!

That Curtis is bloody lovely 😀

What finish is it, just a laquer coating?

More information on the Curtis. Looks perfect...

Belt drive Lefty Qoroz.

[img] [/img]

How's the belt drive working out Graham?

It's going well.
I found it's limits at SITS, the mixture of mud and grass getting wedged between the belt and pulley eventually broke the belt, although Gates have promised me a free replacement.
In normal mud and sand, it's brilliant.

Curtis is 853 front triangle and headtube with 725 stays, Phil Wood ebb, built as a first by Brian Curtis, polished and laquered finish.
Would you like some close ups?
