+1 on a brigante, its got a loooooooowwww bottom bracket but is otherwise like a big BMX, its great.

I almost wish I hadn’t got one, not ridden or even very interested in riding owt else since building it….

And my back tyre exploded on its second ride…..

I’m almost purposely not putting the new chain on my Chumba HX2 at the moment so I actually ride my Nicolai Helius CC!!

Since I built the 29’er in the end of last year I’ve ridden the Nic less than 10 times, not bad considering I ride 3 – 4 times a week!!!

(IMO) The Swift is a great bike.

It does everything I need a bike (of this shape) to do. Mine is 3 * 10, and fully rigid (with a 135mm front end in Salsa Enabler forks for easy half-fat swap-outs).

I’m also very fond of my Gryphon for those days when SS is the way to go,

… but it’s my Peregrine that gets the most miles in. Most of my riding is farm tracks / green-lanes / bits of woodland, all linked together by back-country roads; perfect Peregrine territory.

All fully rigid tho’ as I don’t really like suspension … 😕
