Hummer to be built into a rigid.
Need fork recommendations (Carbon rigid) , etc.
Possible singlespeeded too - How's best ?
All help appreciated, thanks.
aah, proof that t_l_r is a) raving mad and b) has more money than is good for a man.
personally, if I was doing it I'd be asking what lock.
what next- what shopping basket to convert the ti456 into a butcher's bike? 😆
what a waste of a great bike
tlr you have too much money
no - i tried to sell it many times - its in my garage stripped bare - i need now to make use of it.
racing_ralph - Memberwhat a waste of a great bike
And leaving it unused in the garage is better.
And where did he say that BEFORE my post - dumbass
stu - my point exactly - it's wasted in there 🙁
ralphy - take it easy
oooh get you ralphy boy.
ralph - i'll sell you it for £730 inc king headset....
ok, paypal?
how much did you try to get for it (out of interest) those frames are lurvly and can't quite believe no one wanted it...
why is it surplus? did you not get on with it or just got something better?
always liked those frames just can't see the justification (for me) over a steel HT.
blimey im nosey!!
ralph - it's sold to you. have you an email address i can forward paypal details to ?
in fact, YGM.
this is now in the wrong forum..!!!!
lol - as if!!
no matter - i was going to pub bike it, but ralph's offered me my original asking price - cheers ralph, YGM.
ralph - are you publicly negating on the deal ?
No wonder it didn't sell at that price.
the_lecht_rocks - Memberralph - are you publicly negating on the deal ?
Yup!
reasonable price i thought - what's a more realistic price stuart ?
Its on the high side to be fair.
retail is currently £1695
Hard to say, whatever someone will pay. Check ebay for completed listings etc.
I don't want it btw!
Just turn it into a pub bike.
Then take a longer more offroady route to the pub so you don't upset some folks on here.....
Keep it. Might be a laugh to spec it up with uber cheap shit on it.
i have spare sh1t, but need a carbon fork - recommendations ?
Pooperstar?
Cheapish carbon forks in various lengths [url= http://discobrakes.com/?s=0&t=4&c=43& ]here.[/url]
Cove Hummer... man I'm tempted... my wife would fricken kill me though 😆 What size is the frame and what year model is it again?
worth maybe £450.
Your ride to the pub must contain some pretty awesome trails....
Sounds like a great idea. The On-One carbons on my ss are as good as any out there, and Singlespeeding it makes perfect sense, after all, a Spot ss frame will set you back $1600, so why not a ss Hummer. Go for it, and ignore the stupid dumb remarks.
my (v. old) Hummer is a rigid 69er singlespeed.
Frankenbike niche 🙂
will probably fit the rohloff on it for the solo enduros though.
I still fancy putting nukeproof rigid carbons on my hummer, I think it would be a blast! Sometimes feel we are being suckered into the whole suspension thing by market forces, my old cindercone was ace rigid, but the mags convinced me I needed mag21s, supose things move on, question is have I?
PJ.
Where do you drink?
😉
Only bloke I know who rides a Cove is widely suspected of batting for the other side, and is universally known as the 'Hummer Bummer' ! Unrelated, and not implying anything, but always makes me smirk 🙂
