Yeti Big Top, best bike I've ever owned.

think I'll show mine in "starting to apprecaite that this is not enough bike for the alps" pose. Me on the right with the fixed grin (not long before massive off on the longest bit of steep I've ever ridden. Seriously, you know those drop offs you do that then G-out at the bottom and you go "wheeeeee", well it was like that, but the g-out was 1km from the start and sound was of me swearing profusely!)

This was day 3, was begining to feel a bit beaten up but the bike was absolutely mechanical free. Amazing.

My old Inbred 29er
[img] [/img]
sold to buy a Scandal MK1
[img] [/img]
Now I am building up something new
[img] [/img]

Thanks Guys 🙂

Have been thinking that a v braked option is on the cards ....

Rich; loving the simplicity of yours 8)

Out of interest what wheels were you using?

On the Inbred? they were stock Retard rims on retard hubs(basically DMR revolvers) Proper SS hub with screw on free-wheel. Which I hated as I broke 3 in a year.

Best SS hub I have had was a Planet X cassette type which would only take 1 sprocket.

I've got two...

Ian that Nicolai is lovely.
Are the 2 swifts (not ds3000's) further up in XL flavour ? They look biig. I have a Large Swift on order. Can't wait.
Not looking forward to its wheels exploding though. 😉

Cheesybeanz do you want to go for clown bike ride when I get mine so we can talk about how fit Sue is from Sooty & Sweep again ??? 😆

I know I've changed. 29" wheels just look normal to me now, whilst 26" look like my son's bikes !

Now with wide flat bars. Recognise the frame Ron Burgundy?; pic above of the nice replacement you got yourself!

19lb race bike. Shame I'm off the bike for 8 weeks with a knee injury.

not everyone is suitable for a 29er though

This is my own design,, i sent the drawings to XACD in China and this is what they made
The idea was to try out a really short chainstay 29er this one is 417mm to 437mm
i have another being made with chainstays of 407-427 i dont intend to run this short but I want to try out the new gates center drive belt so it needs to go shorter to fit the belt then with the correct tension it should end up back at 417 ish ,
the bike climbs well and is great on the singletrack,,

Oh go on then. Lynskey pro 29, DT Swiss forks, ZTR Wheels etc

Fuzzyfelt - That is looking sweet. Definitley better with a flat bar though. And yes, the Pro 29 did replace it!

ade ward
how much do they charge to build a one off ?

My GT Peace 9r

And some thing to make it special:

ade ward
how much do they charge to build a one off ?

They start at £450 for a bog standard non bells and whistles diamond style frame - or they did when i enquired in 2010.
with bend in the downtube, one in the top tube and a toptube / seat tube brace it went up to around £750 shipped.

OK then

Rich, is that a Thrillometer (TM) as a headset cap? 🙂

Apologies for crappy iphone pic.

As has been said before, Oh go on then...

Here's my Chumba HX2 with Alfine rear hub, I've been getting on with it but am considering going back over to normal gears as I find the gaps in the hub a little too much.

Unless someone has a Alfine 22 Tooth rear cog?
