My Jump bike is sitting in the garage not doing anything, not being jumped.
do we reckon, it would be a clever idea, to build it up onto an 18" inbred frame.
ive got a hankering for a burley hardtail, and i dont think this would be a bad way of doing it?
i would suggest a 456 sumer season, but its a SS jump bike, and am looking to avoid a tensioner if i can :s (the fork is only 100mm anyway)
im 6ft 5, my other 2 bikes are 21" frames, light built whippet bikes, so i reckon an 18" frame, short stem, laid back seatpost, and flat pedals might be a bit of a giggle.
also leaves me with the option of lightening it by putting some of the XtC parts onto it if i ever decide i want "one" hardtail
dont supposes theres any chance of a Sumer season with slot dropouts is there :,( (that would be perfect)
Get hold of Ton(y) from this Parish.. He will possibly be able to square you away..
having said that, a Summer season would be best, and i COULD just get a Chainguide type tensioner up front, then if i put gears on it, ive got a changuide too..... (but restricts the possibility of the one hardtail philosiphy too, sort of....)
is ton doing a dodgey line in franken-breds?
456 Summer Season and one of those lovely [url= http://www.whiteind.com/rearhubs/singlespeedhubs.html ]Eric's ENO disk hubs[/url]...
Replied to your post on abermtb ollie, should you want a chain guide/tensioner then I've probably got something kicking about too 😉
Or you could fit one of those trickstuff excentricker (or however you spell it) Basically a retro-fit EBB.
Dunno how much you want to spend, but you could always get some track ends welded onto a summer season.
I built one of mine into a fairly burly thing. I'm 6'5" too, on an 18". Works great - has been awesome fun at Morzine/les Gets and Welsh rocky trails, although sadly it's a while since it's seen any action now. Seems to stand up to abuse ok though...

olly, got a nice stiffee for you......... 😯 😉
lol, frame modding, eccentric BBs and eno hubs are kind of missing the point of building up my Jump bike onto a cheap cheap frame.
looking to spend no money at all really....
is that a standared geared inbred bez?
may have found a second hand 18" SS.....
Yeah. Old one, the original geared version with the first generation DN6 piping.
