Makes me remember why suspension is such a good idea! Really nice ride tho - so stiff when I want to put on some speed.
Tidy. Fun on smooth trails and concrete.
It's not a bonnie bairn that's for sure.
Seat post tastic...... err snap 😀
😯 How tall are you?
gears, brakes, normal bars, no superfluous tubing - unless those wheels are 633d and hand-turned from meteorites, you're nowhere near nicheland 😐
(looks fine though - what's that on the seatpost ?)
Seat post tastic...... err snap
That is a 4 year old seat post - from my ScandAL - no problems so far. Not much choice as the frames are only 21".
That's a 29er inner tube and a 15mm spanner taped to the seatpost.
Other than the dangerous seatpost, I like it in an odd way. But the Vs seem inadequate to me. Horrific in the mud too!
What do you take it on?
I'm currently visiting my in-laws in the USA. Got this for $349 delivered so it is now the 'stay-at-mother-in-laws' bike - stops me going stir crazy when we visit this car-obsessed country. I have mech discs to put on it but the mounts need facing and just wanted to ride it! It is lovely on the roads and cycle paths - needs suspension for off-road really, but that will come.
I remember when this used to be a mountain bike site!
That post is going to snap soon too...

Same seat post 4 years ago - ish. 🙄
is ther the same length again in the frame then 😆
Why not just get a road bike? Or psychotherapy?
I have a road bike - in England

This is a long project holiday USA garage bike, for cheapness.
4 years since you weeded too? :p
i hope you've stopped growing.
Weed? I sold the house rather than weed!
That road bike looks 26" with the frame! Nice to someone else with beaters on the tarmac 😀
You must get through miles of cables! And you'd get multiple bottle cages on that road frame! 😉
The road bike makes me think you 9' tall 🙂
No niche would be fixed or clunker MTB (eh Cab)....
Have to ask, are you Mad-cow, fireman Rich type TooTall from the Mendips?
What is the seatpost on the original picture?
coatsey - not to my knowledge. I've seen the Mendips before tho.
Tim - same seatpost on both mountain bikes - a 420mm long FSA one I got from CRC about 4 years ago.
Jeeze, how long are you? 😯
That's twice as much metal as in one of my bike frames....
I really like the Scout. Shame we can't get some of the American brands in the uk. SE and a few others make some nice looking bikes
For those that didn't see the original thread
Loving the bike Garry. When you coming out on a club ride?
I can confirm he is very very tall and I mean very !
tricky - less fat and more fit and I might - but I'm not road enough really.
'hang on a minute.. You qualified for the rollapaluza grand finals 🙂
it's fine.. Si (off of webbs) said he's unfit and avoids hills at all costs on club rides.
I think the KoS was thinking about coming out now as he has a new shiny road bike
KoS weighs about the same as one of my legs - including his bike. Si just straps a packet of custard creams to his handlebars and uses them for motivation these days! As for you - far too fit anyway!
Could you put a sofa in your front traingle, so the cheesey's can have a sit down and a natter while you're riding them to the pub?
😀 oh yes nice little loop out to raglan and the wye valley anyone ?
Call that Niche?
Surely a "94er" (29"F/24" rear) soft tail, rigid forked bike, with a 3 speed SA hub and coaster brake, upside down mary bars and a front pannier only would be more "Niche"...
No - but I could get either trickydisco's or your bike in there in a sort of Thunderbird 4 stylee - or make a seat for each of you on the bottle mounts and you could help pedal.
I was thinking about insulting your road bike but decided not too, given you must be about 2ft taller than me!
and i always thought my bikes were fugly.............. 😀
Yours are - and you being short means you have no excuse! Strange how in the flesh nobody notices I ride 29ers at first - they just look normal around me. The road bike does look more lovely in the flesh.
no it doesn't it looks like a purple gate.........I'll get my coat
No but seriously, how long are you? 😯
was that photo of the road bike taken in the hall of mirrors ? 😯
Kev
Just realised the MTB on the first page is a 29er. Bloody hell!
