Bikes for the fuller figured or perhaps braver types, the unbreakables.

Always see ultra lightweight or big DH bikes but I'm interested in stuff that works and keeps working for the average person.

Had it from new, still running alot of the original parts, it's been downhill raced, Morzined and Snowdoned, XC trudged and trail centre hacked and hucked.

Shrugged it all off and asked for more. I love it. (wish it was 5lb lighter but then would have cost more or broken more!)

I'm a bit tubby but this bad-boy has seen me through a lot:

😈

I'm no lightweight and this is my burliest bike:

This is mine

Still in one piece? Good going.

Smooth rider or jessie?

downhilly hardtail 🙂

yet another chance to post the Frankenbike, my 'downhilly' hardtail 8)

ignore the balloon tyres… it no longer has them 😆

Neither I had a new front triangle from a joker recently but was my fault completely for breaking the Isis so I'm not holding it against it.

Just finished it today

You have give me a reason to post !

Now how do I tell my wife – Les Gets here I come ?

What the… that Orange is… different. But not in a good way.

Bloody hell that's purple.

loved my stinky, reliable and simple

you will love les gets on that thing

not broken it yet which isn't bad as i managed to snap the drop out off on my old Revs last year going down an alp and bend my scott in half the year before that. i only weigh 10-and-a-bit stone….

Are those revs or lyriks? If it's the latter I'm suprised how normal it looks, thinking of sticking soem on my prophet.

Proper bikes!!

they be Lyriks. the Revs are those spindly things on the Sanderson to the right. Had to get a new casting fitted after they went kaputt.

nice kitchen, alpin!

You can't go wrong with a Pitch. Tough as old boots. This one's built up fairly light, but I'm heavy and I haven't broken anything yet.

Here's mine, a Chromag Stylus, after a lap of Cypress out here in BC, from mountaintop to beach. 🙂

This is my XC bike really, but it's more than capable of hitting anything I will.

I love that stinky…

DH

XC

Why oh why did I sell this frame?

much the same as the stinky, my Coiler Dee lux

14 st 8 this morning 😕

My mates Bullit now sadly sold I only had one ride on it, bottomless travel and 6lb lighter than my Coiler

My 6'5" 16 odd stone self has complete faith in this…

DH fun:

Hardtail DH fun:

And then my ibis set up for alps fun:

This:

copes with my 6'4" 18 odd stone riding all sorts on it including racing DH

Playtime fun

For everything else….

pretty new but tough non the less 😉

I'm becoming a bit of a photo whore but here goes. I might enter a DH race on it this year but I WILL enter one next year.

Tough as old boots Pitch.

Tough as old boots. Semi-bling build, with some X0 in there, Easton Havoc bars, Time platforms, SDG Ti saddle, ODI Intense etc. Now with matching RQ tyres and spoke protector removed!

Copes with everything my burly frame can throw at it!

Now dismembered as I didn't really have the riding ability to do justice to its weight and burlyness.

My old Stinky. Awesome bike. Cost be bog all, was lobbed off (and fallen off) everything at Chicky with no problem.

SX Trail. Much fun. And not as bad uphill as you might think.

Trailstar. Much abused. Especially during a year long attempt to ride everything high, steppy and concrete where I used to live. It's also been run over but heavy bikes. Twice.

Only got the DMR now. Easiest bike in the world to bunnyhop.

The mighty Prince Albert. Its had 2 previous owners and I've been broken more times than it has:

I like that Gspot looks sturdy! I know it's not made for it but does it climb OK or is the front end light?

I've always liked the look of the GSpot and as I'm 6'5" and 16 odd stone -what size is it?

This is my favourite bike, with the triple on there its great at Afan..

My burliest skill compensator…..(surprisingly light however!)

Nice colour.
So tough guys, who's got the lightest tough bike?

Jedi's Demo is the hardest bike on here – it can't even be stolen! 😀

and there's no such thing as a light tough bike, just deluded riders.
