I thought it was only TJ that got slated in tags despite not having posted in a thread? Some folks have too much time on their hands.

Would love to show the Canfield brothers nimble9 demo bike, but I am on an iPad and loading pictures seems impossible.

Awesome bit of trail centre kit... Will slap up pics when back in shop tomorrow.

Great thread ๐Ÿ˜› .

Ahh, the Foreplay MX . . . been on the wishlist for years . . . almost ticked off a couple of months ago when CRC had a lovely 'shop-soiled' model reduced - sadly when it arrived it was a long (had been advertised as a short) so had to go back . . . one day . . .

Loving the Orange BFe with Bombers too 8)

Here's my latest . . .

[IMG] [/IMG]

Built up as a stop-gap frame while awaiting warranty replacement of my Commencal. Now on a well-known auction site but easily one of the best LT hardtails I've ridden (long, low and slack - perfect) - I'd definitely hang onto it if I didn't need the cash for Christmas ๐Ÿ˜ฅ .

Grrrr'd up Soul:

It's gone 1x9 since this pic was taken a couple of days ago. Considering the way I treat it maybe I should have bought a BFe? But it's lighter and the back end sticks to the ground remarkably well.

My original Evil Sov. getting on for 5 years old now and I'll never be rid of it. 710mm high rise bars, 50mm stem, 140 Pikes (feels a bit soft with Fox 32s/Revs etc), big ol' rotors and 1 x 10.

That's what my 7" full sus weighs 0_0 What parts do you have on it?

fairly standard 'light' freeride fare really - x9 rear mech, x7 shifters, x317 rims on x7 hubs, e.13, fireX cranks, z5s, rase dropper seatpost, dual ply highrollers, dh inner tubes, fairly beefy stem/bars/saddle/pedals

my 5" travel full sus is 45lbs, so this one is relatively light ๐Ÿ˜€

Admittedly needs some bigger (longer, though not wider than these cartoon scaffold poles currently on it) to be proper LT, but does do the gnarrr bit pretty well.

Looks to be a tiny frame - what is it?

It's a 14" Kona Five-O - designed around 140mm forks (complete bike comes with Marz 55s) but rides great with the Lyriks up front (130mm for most stuff and wound out to 140-50 for d/h ๐Ÿ˜› ). Rear end is pretty long making it super-stable on the downs.
