Willej, I'd love to have a 'go' on it if your local? I had a 18" Life briefly but the frame came up longer than it is on paper. a 16" of theirs would have been perfect. I'm 6ft1/33inch.
That Soul is ruined with a cheap tat On-One outer Botswanese fork!
Hora, where's local for you?
Manchester/WYorks or occassionaly North Downs
I'm in Haslemere so let me know next time you're down, maybe we can meet up for a spin?
(Sorry for the hijack, Ton.)

epicsteve, how bizzare - that so looks like a section of trail through the Beech trees, on the South Downs near Steyning, Sussex. Couldn't have been further from it in reality!
arrived on Friday

Wow that Morewood looks a lotta fun. Heal soon!
I've just finished my first 29er Full Suss build - A Salsa Big Mama with Maxle Reba forks and super wide bars (760mm). Had my first proper offroad ride this weekend and loved it.
Now my one remaining 26" bike (singlespeeded Kona Hoss) feels like a kids bike and i'm already harbouring thoughts of changing it to a 29er despite the fact i only single speed once in a blue moon.
I would post up a pic but don't have the first clue about how these computer thingammyjigs work so i can't......

Can't do pictures as this is on my phone.
So far this year (bear in mind I normally buy a new bike every 4 years on average!!!)
Specialized Pitch Pro
Specialized Secteur Sport
Specialized Vita Sport (for wife)
WeThePeople Pony Park/Flatland BMX
Crikey. Do Spesh do a loyalty card??
Finally!!
got round to fixing dodgy brake mount and it is up and...rolling??

Although it is a 2007 bike it was never really used so it still spotless. Brakes and Forks are SH and have had reasonable use, but the rest is all immaculate (still has red grease in the BB!)
Colour is actually this
[img] 
[/img]
so kind of colour co-ordinated with the forks
Had this a couple of months now. Sooooooooooooooo much fun.

I quite like the look of my Kona. Not the best photo on the train, and the one from the website doesn't make it look any better

hora, you sure? i've got 16" and i'm 5'7" and would say it fits me perfectly (albeit with short stem).
i'd try one first. my housemate is just short of 6' and finds it too small.
the Sandersons look brilliant. great bikes, aren't they?!!!
I was just going to post that solo looks lu'vly. WHY arent they more popular?! Come on, sort out some spangly new colours and they'd sell more. That green is abit of an acquired taste as is the battleship grey. The white of the Solo is a beaut and the welds, detail/quality of Sandersons spot-on.
Apologies for the terrible picture quality. I didn't have my camera with me.

Built last month and will be up at Gisburn this weekend.
Now with a black shim rather than the crappy silver one.
Bought this frame and forks last Sunday, 1996 Crescent Cross Race CroMo, building it into my winter/cross bike 8)

Got this a couple of weeks ago.
Thats beautiful, one day I'll have the cash to build me a nice SC!
epicsteve, where is that trail?
It's in one of the treelines running down to Balerno from the Pentlands.
I thought i recognised it, the legendry 'Nail trail' 😀
