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?

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'.

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.
