Its a Hope ProII with Maverick conversion built onto a 650B Velocity P35 rim. Parts supplied by [url= http://shop.dinosaurbikes.com/epages/es122126.sf ]dinosaur bikes[/url]that green should go nicely with the Mango IF paint job. Just need some more spokes and a rear hub now to finish the build.

I do and everyone has to start somewhere!
650b?
Nichetastic!
Does it actually go any faster than 26" (or 29") ?
Bite god dam it!

Depends on how fast I pedal 😉
To sum it up it handles like a 26er in the Singletrack but rolls like a 29er. The only downside is the price of the rims/tyres. I really like it and prefer 650B to 29ers.

Can you get decent tyres in that size?
>I do and everyone has to start somewhere!
You barsteward, what are the flies going to buzz around in their window display now!
dont want to be a party pooper but your power spokes (the ones on the outside of the hub should be pointing forward. with a front wheel they point forward on both sides so the lace is different. on a rear the drive side point backwards to counter act the torque. but on the disc side point forwards. so the lace is the same on both sides. the lime does look very cool though.
Go away Swede, you know nothing 😉
joemetcalfm, dam you!!! I knew it was a bad idea to have the rugby on at the same time!
epicsteve, I've a pair of Nevgals on my other set! They are great.
I know it's round, over sized and ugly like it's owner.
it will probably be fine its just the kind of nerd i am. i work all day in a bike shop and then come home and chat on bike forums. it cant be good for a man. so what are they going on?

No it hasn't!
Yawns at Swede 😉
oh yea.. ruddy hell. my eyes.. I better stay off the drink!
wow thats a crazy looking thing. now i know why you called it the towel rail. i think the new rims will set it off.
Ok ok it's not that bad but the orange and white looks classy IMO but orange and lime. Might look a tad garish.
Thats OK swede, you can't see further than your nose anyhoo!
You just wait until I find my keyboard. Then I'm guna ring some f@*ks in to ya. Oh and I can spot cars, badgers and big holes 😉
orange bike with two top tubes? sooooooo not niche;

Q. What tyre for 650b?
A. Whatever you can get; they're like hen's teeth. Just be grateful you can still pay the mortgage afterwards.
Only two toptubes? You need 3 !!!

I bet Sheldon's getting one of Mands dresses on now in the hope that it gets him the attention that he thinks he deserves. 😯
It'll make him easy to spot at the SSEC 😉

Unlike the mango hair and the loud mouth which yould otherwise go untiniced. 😯
I thought he was rather well spoken and polite, he's obviously "grooming" me!!

I hope she doesn't see that stu. To think king wok could squeeze into one of Mandy's numbers is insane.

I've still not got round to learning to wheelbuild. It's on my list there no. 236, I think wheelbuilding a 650b lumo greem rim is further down the list somewhere! I'll get round to it
Lol
another thread goes to the dogs by a bunch of over woked nichmongers 🙄
Nice to see a frame that was obviously designed by a craftsman and not by a computer.
A shame that the craftsman designer didn't manage to properly rub out the pencil lines where he first drew the top tube and some silly bugger frame builder put both of them on!
