Hmmm, maybe time to upgrade from my Love/Hate ready for SSUK..

I’ve waited patiently for 4 WEEKS. WHAT’S THE NEWS ANDY 😈 !!

Gah. I spent an almost exactly Stooge-frame-sized fee on four new car tyres this morning. A new bike is off the list for a bit for me.

Maybe enter this years Welsh Ride Thing? … some lucky person will be leaving with a Stooge F&F 😀

Yes Andrew, please tell us the news regarding the Stooge as I too am quite interested.

*Holds off on buying the current Stooge frame*

If anyone fancies a go on a stooge my limited edition ss version will be at battle on beach as a demo bike. Just give me a shout amd let me know in advance

i too will be a Battle on’t Beach, see you there Tazz 🙂

So i’ve been busy, hence the fact i’ve not had much of a chance to get on here. Latest Stooge news – one word, Titanium.

won’t say any more until i have photos.

Ooh Ti sounds nice ….

So if you could wait until I can afford one, that’d be cool. Not that I need (or can afford) a new bike!

😀

Looks like no BoB for me though as moving house…probably

I’ll be there to suck Taz’s wheel for a bit

Im on the black sheep this year, best get ya peggling legs on 😀

Latest Stooge news – one word, Titanium.

One word: interested. 😀

is there going to be a ti version of the Stooge 29er?

Awesome 8) ! Now to get the money together.
Does anyone want to buy a Stooge in Blue? 😆

I’d rather have a 4130 one than Ti – I haven’t read all 24 pages of this thread but do they have enough clearance to run as 27.5+, because that’s what I’d really like to do with one?

do they have enough clearance to run as 27.5+

Yup, there’s a photo on facebook. I’ll grab it at lunch.

Fancy buying mine 😉 ?

I now have gears on my stooge and loving it even more!!

Loch Einich?

Looking forward to lots of cheap stooges for sale as people upgrade.

Titanium sounds very interesting! To what end though? Weight? Comfort? Or a bit of both?

To what end though? Weight? Comfort? Or a bit of both?

a handful of people asked and i obliged. yes it will be lighter, but can’t see it being any more comfortable than the steel frame in any real sense. i guess the most honest answer is it’s fun to design and create different stuff and see it come to life.

Steel will always be my first love and the main core of Stooge as things progress. it’s cheap (compared to ti), strong and rides great. With that in mind i’m just finalising the second batch of steel Stooges, i’m getting scarily low on stock and due to being a genius of planning will probably sell out just in time for summer 🙁

Any changes in this up coming second batch?

What are the new colour options? When are all the details coming out?
I’ve got some cash, but itchy feet.

Grey…..is it still the new black .?

We need photoshop on that

frame remains the same, blue will be carrying over as it’s the Stooge colour, plus 2 others TBC. Unfortunately they’re about 5 months away yet. I’ve only been up and running for 10 months so its a case of take it easy and don’t get ahead of myself, spend another year or so getting out n about and then start actioning what comes next. Be nice to have loads of money to make it all happen now, but alas… one man band and all of that 🙂

Do you have any Singlespeed only ones left in stock fella?

Andy have you looked at doing a Kickstarter project to help with funding the next one ?

Good idea cheeze (well, albeit an obvious one – and one which which would almost undoubtedly get supported)

Or why not invite ‘sponsors’?

They are out there

Exclusive purple is exclusive ….;)

If there was one tweak Id make it would be 44mm headtube. It would allow a much wider range if carbon forks and with the right headset it would still allow the standard 1.125 steel fork

I vote for british racing green and wine red as limited edition colours.

afraid not, though the next ones will do away with the front cable routing, so nearasdammit the same.

Kickstarter could be an idea…

44mm headtube? The ‘Stooge’ frameset will keep the standard. I bought a fargo once with the 44 and the classic look of the bike had been destroyed, i think it would throw the front end out of proportion, plus i like the idea of someone finding one in a shed in 50 years time, taking it to the small bike shop on the corner and being able to get a headset for it. BUT there will be a 44mm frame somewhere down the line, a little beefier, ability to run a fork if you so wish, you’ll see what i mean when the ti frames arrive. My idea behind the Stooge has always been simplicity – no special hubs or new standards that might last a year before the next one comes along, the ability to build it cheaply from spare parts if that’s what you want to do.

green’s ringing a bell 🙂

Oh man british racing green would be glorious. Not on the Ti one though, that should be left raw!

Would love a BRG Stooge to go with my purple one. I’m sure I could justify it somehow.

Do your frames come with two drop outs? one for ss and one for geared?
