The biggest problem is deciding which one to ride today 🙂

What a weirdo.
The middle one's got gears. 😉
The worst problem you have is the angle of that crud guard!
😉
why so many bikes that are so similar?
Your doing all whyte then...
I posted a pic of my bike with SC32's on the other day someone asked what forks they were, as they hadnt seen upside down forks for years!!
Blimey! Nice collection but yeah - why all so similar. You need some suspension in your life..
I can recommend the E-120 😉
WTF? Why have you got 3 bikes the same?
By the way, fence an patio need treating to remove the green stuff.
Dibbs I'm on sc32's too how much travel do you actually get out of them? and how close to the bottom of the stanchions do you get?...mine have only ever given 3.5" and bottom out 1.5" above the dropout
sorry for the hijack but looks like you might have a bit of knowlege!
if in doubt pick the middle one...always works on multiple choice!
I couldn't resist the Ti and I've got an E-5 works, so couldn't really justify the E-120
strange

that was me. i don't spend all my time looking at bikes. i have a 1998 Marin Rift Zone with RST Hi5s. its old and heavy and it does its job. i clearly don't keep in the latest fashion
how much travel do you actually get out of them?
I've just been out and measured, and they're all around the 4" (100mm) mark, but then I ride like a wuss 😳
Dibbs - How do you find the whyte bikes overall ?
I am looking at the 19 & 905 models, going to one of my LBS to have look at a 905.
thepodge... theyre not new been about for ages. in favour and out of favour again. The Whyte bikes always specced them but they have dropped them now (I believe).
Some day all forks will be this way up...
Travel:- I got an old set that didnt quite make full travel, and some new ones off ebay that someone was selling off cheap, apparently from Whyte bikes, not sure if they made full travel I forgot to look, will check next time I ride it.
Have you got a 19 carbon coming this month?
Have you got a 19 carbon coming this month?
Noooo! I daren't
No, this is a Whyte problem... http://gallery126268.fotopic.net/p16158138.html
why have an alu SS and a Ti one?
Quick hijack
My SC32's only move 105mm and 25mm above the dropout unlike dibbs I am a bit of a [b]neutritional overachever[/b] thast is why I get a bit more travel
why have an alu SS and a Ti one?
I've only just finished the Ti and I haven't decided what to do with the alu, but it does feel a bit lighter than the Ti 😯

Doesn't the fact that I've currently got three give you a clue, they just suit the type of riding I like, my E-5 rarely gets used as it feels so lardy after the 19's

I have a Whyte 19 carbon jobbie on order - hopefully this month, I was originally told mid Feb but I was never optimistic about that date.
Will obviously post the obligatory pics in due course.
