So here I am about to order a new 29er frame!
I ride at Thetford and will be doing the Winter Enduro's
I've now sold all my 26" stuff
Options
On One scandal V2 Raw - Bargain £££s left over to spend on spec?
Orange Clockwork. Don't have a local dealer and have never seen one, one opinions on here seem very positive.
Giant XTC 29er. Real race bike, very stiff. I have riden one and liked it.
Niner EMD9, My local bike shop is a dealer. it's the most money?
I just can't make up my mind!!!!!!!!!!
Any ideas??????
Thanks
Of your list i've only ridden the XTC, however it was excellent, light, fast and comfy. Although not quite as comfy as the Spearfish that replaced it 🙂
Kenesis FF29
As a Niner owner I'm biased, but my sensible head says the Scandal & some nice kit to drape over it.
What size are you? I'll shortly (this weekend) be putting my Grand Canyon AL 29er frame up for sale, size large (19"), Headset, bottom bracket, seatpost and seatclamp - £250+ postage.
Charge Cooker? Relatively cheap from Tritons at the monent and Tange Prestige tubing (i think)
Love my Orange Clockwork S.
Tried a Specialized at the time and it felt like a barge. The orange handles nicely for me. Just need to manhandle 29ers a bit more.
I've always found Oranges to be fun bikes to ride.
Only downside is that after 4 months I am breaking things (BB, Headset). On the up side I'm replacing with Hope gear which was my plan anyway.
Stock wheels are a bit heavy, but OK.
I'm 6'4" and ride a large. Sizing seems on the big size.
Hey Micheal
I would be interested in the Canyon
19" L is perfect!!
Do you have any photos
I can take some this evening. It's still fully built up at the moment as new frame hasn't arrived yet and am doing the Erlstroke on Saturday. Will post them when I get home.
