[Closed] New Bike (Niche, Sex Wee & Pics)

Is the towel rail heated?

[sits on fence] is it one thing or another? [/sits on fence] 😛

now thats an odd looking beast. Im sure your lass would have lent you her kona if you liked it that much 🙂

AHHHHHH

my eyes 😐

coulda bought a kona for a lot less and 650b's would have fitted 😉

but if you love it, it don't matter 🙂

why?

looks short.
was it built by highpath................. 😉

Tell you what I like that bike but how much was it???

psychle - Member

Because it's a bike. 🙄 😉

Yeuch! :D......each to their own etc.......

more niche

What forks?

that is lovely.

Ronald McDonald called, he would like his bike back.....

LOL @ Postie, yeah it can be!!

I knew it would be hated on here as it's differnet and hasn't got a 12/10 in MBR 🙂

In fairness the photos don't do the candy paint job justice.

Techsmechs go away you roadie!

those fat bikes like so cool
i bet they ride crap

Words Fail Me! 😕

Serious question is that IF for heffers over 14 Stone 😀

Serious question is that IF for heffers over 14 Stone

Yes it is but not over 16stone so you can't have a go 🙂

Looks very different, is it the latest design to get it through CEN testing? 🙂

What advantage is the extra tube? ..apart from making it look "different".

Looks like a shrinked kona?! What the hell hit you on the head to actually ASK FOR SOMEONE TO [b]MAKE[/b] THAT?!!111oneone

You tit. :o)

That looks great, if i was that way inclined id get one. Good buy.

Silver headset spacers? 😕

Solamanda I knew you'd hate it as its not got 9" of suspension and made by Trek LOL

Mister P Nope white carbon!

Extra tube is reinforcement for when SinglespeedStu fancies a go on a bike with proper size wheels on!

You think that extra tube will be enough to stand up to my HUGE power output?

That's it!

If you ever make a negative comment about the aesthetics of any of my bikes again, I shall bitch slap you! 🙂

And I thought your maverick was gopping...

The tube will but my wheel built won't LOL

That's it!

This coming from a bloke who has a pink onone extra cycle
[Thump] Hits floor laughing and struggling to get up!!! [/thump]

Tis very strange.....but i kinda like it.. 😕

Are you running eccentric hub on it?

Nope its got an EBB

Alright for back an fore to work.

ah ha makes sense now. Love the colour

but it's got the wrong size wheels on really... 😉

How can the wheels be wrong when they're not one thing or another LOL

Trannywheels?

Not one or other.... 💡

Hehehe yeah a spork!

did you get the Pacenti tyres from the States ?

Yup, tyres and rims came in from the states, got raped a bit on the price with the exchange rate then again with customs! But heyho thats the risk when buying from the US :-/

Is that a second top tube or one of those frame mounted pumps? Or am I just so drunk I'm seeing doubledouble?

Its like a cannondale super v gone wrong. Maybe its a replaceable top tube so if your xc'ing you keep it on and for the downhills you remove it. I think he laughs last if that is the case

would i buy one........not on your nelly

Hmmmm. In a funny sort of way I like it, but then I'm a bit of a sucker for cruiser style bikes anyway. I think 650B is a neat compromise in wheel size; my first adult bike was a BSA Starrider, which had standard 27" wheels, which is what 650B is. It's just a conventional diameter wheel with a wider rim to take a fat tyre, rather than the 1 3/8" my old bike had. I even ran Avon CX tyres and MX cowhorn bars on mine and rode it in the woods, 'dirt tracking'. That was nearly forty years ago. I'd want to lose that white spacer off the top of the stem, tho'.

Or am I just so drunk I'm seeing doubledouble?

I was thinking that. But surely I jolly well have not had that many?

The fact that it makes me think I'm proper cross-eyed, is enough to make me not want.

It's a lovely colour.
🙂

Well, er, um, what can I say.

The grass looks well cut.

but ... seriously what is the point of that extra tube??

There is no point! It does add weight though!!

Just commuted in on it and it still rides fantastic! Happy Times!

[img] [/img]

just interested why did you spec the tube then?

Because I wanted to! I don't need anymore light functional bikes as I already have them.

splendid, don't like the tube aesthetically myself but love IF's and paint jobs swell so will photoshop the tube out. have fun

That colour is ace 🙂

Don, that's certainly a bit different mate!

I’m 50/50 on the top tube configuration but I guess as is often the case some things look so much better in the flesh.

You got some classic STW posts for your trouble! I don’t believe some of the drama posters really find it melts their eyeballs quite so much? Still, you signed up for that kind of abuse the moment you hit Send Post!

Good for you choosing to be different, it would be boring as hell if we all had clones of the same one design and build. You are clearly very pleased with how it’s turned out and most importantly how it rides. Job done then I reckon.

Try to be kinder to this one though eh! :¬)

Molds

oooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Sailor

A spork is useful after all .......................

You're right Molds unless it's a 5 or 6 inch trail bike it's no good! LOL

A spork is useful bj 🙂

That is absolutely glorious, really like it. Lovely job. 8)

I like it, but i'd rather have one of these:

(Must re-condition my Kona A'ha) 😀

precis !!!!!

Solamanda I knew you'd hate it as its not got 9" of suspension and made by Trek LOL

Nothing to do with that. It's an expensive copy of a crap kona! It's like using a 5" all mountain bike for dh uplift and then breaking an xc wheel on a pebble, totally daft. ;o)

Fair play that is an UGLY looking bike one good thing about it no one is likely to nick it.You could always lose it in the deaths of the Forest Of Dean 🙄

Laughs @ solamanda if it was a mass produced bike with big heavy stuff bolted on it to make me/it look 'core' then you'd love it:-)

At least it won't get nicked!

Comes to something when its better to have a bike thats pleasing to look at and a dog to ride !! (unless its a done-one of course)

Watch out at those trail centre theme parks,now where did i leave my rigid drop bar 29er ?

.........and that would of been over bike for last weekend BJ

Just can't decide on the wheels.

what's the head angle?

90o it's the new 69o.

If it was a dog I'd have it put down.

Ok, lets test the IF build quality. Can I use it for jumping to test the 'quality'?

I assume this is your warranty jobbie?

Nice colour 😉

I like it, but i'd rather have one of these:

you've just reminded me of my once-forgotten love of the merlin newsboy! class.

how about this instead:

edit - i'm also now trying to find a newsboy or a roots to purchase 😆

amazing how a pile or orangey tubes can't provoke so much hate!

Still rides nice though just done 30 odd miles!

I still like it, how much are they? I would imagine they are ****in dear!

Don't confuse revulsion with hate.

Oxboy, a few $

Sorry MisterGnar!

Headangle is 72degrees

Maybe if you put an MBR 10/10 sticker on it people would like it more.

I actually like it but the head angle looks steep in that photo.

Why didn't you buy a bmx?
