Reading that "It's all about the bike book" got me wondering.
Seems that alot of people who get handbuilt frames get racers & tourers.
Anybody got a dream handbuilt hardtail?
Does 130mm count?
Yes!
As soon as I finish this tandem trike and race runner, I'm building a frame for myself - longish travel I think.
It all counts... sold myself short with that title 🙂
Well I have a 130mm Shand hardtail, it's more xc than jumpy though.
This thread needs pictures!
Shand = Bike Porn.
Pure & simple.
I googled some terms looking for a picture to illustrate my own dream.
The only thing I know of is a BTR, but they're not for me.

Since most bikes are handbuilt, yes- I'm pretty happy with my dream Ragley and I loved my dream Soul 😉
