cos a 20'' 456 is just a bit too small......... 😆
22 inch explosif?
Hand crafted Curtis might be the way Ton?
I'm sure they can build one to whatever spec and size you require
I'm 6ft 5" and ride a 20" 456, really I do think its a bit too small for me, but think I've just got used to it.
Custom if you have a clue what you want. Once you've owned a few you should.
al, my sides hurt now...........you card 😆
Ton, you considered a large 29"er? Seem to remember you have a Ventana of similar size.
mate, i built a tough 29r hardtail up.....and they are not tough enough.
long fork legs and a heavy cargo dont work very well.
the frame was ok but even with proper tough specced build it still felt very twangy....
This is a problem that has been on my mind (although I think I'm going to go full suspension)
The P7 is bigger

As is the Genenesis Altitude

That's about it. Its a real shame that they don't do a Soul one size up isn't it.
Am serious ton.
You should surely know what you want and be able to afford it given the money you lose selling stuff on every fortnight?
Surely a curtis? You could specify it as big and as burly as you like.
Not cheep though, and to your (ahhh hem) 'specifications' I imagine you'd be looking at a very small market to re-sell it into.
Al, don't spoil Ton's fun. 🙂
how big do you want ton? xl sovereign has a 24.8 tt. absolutely rock solid too.
but if the perfect bike exists where would that leave your OCD bike buying/selling
