All the way from the US of A, my new squishy clown bike 8)

....and yeah, I know my deck needs scrubbed/garage door needs painted, but that would eat into my riding time.

Looks nice (for a clown bike!)

And raw is a cool finish.

Is that a large?

Looks great.
I'm thinking of getting one. I tried a medium but think I might need a large.

Where abouts roughly are you?

Is that a 29" wheel "thing"

Please say no as I really really like it (but hate the look of 29" bikes usually)

A nice amount of red accents without being over the top. Good work.

Looks like the XL could be a bit flexy by the look of yours 😯 😉

Are they not the 09 version?

The one I tried was an 09 and creaked like a rusty donkey.

Stu, ygm

BTW if you have a creaky 09 Turner and you mail them direct, they will send you the updated linkages for free.

Yes, fully declared but still considerably cheaper.

That's when a 29er looks right, when the rider is a tall fella needing a large frame, looks in proportion. Some of the others ones on here just look like... well, clown bikes.

Cranks aren't completely level in the second picture and wheels are out of sync.

I really like that. Can't quite see from the pics, but if those are Hope X2 brakes you can get red piston caps and red levers as well (or at least you can on the Mono Minis)

Not bad looking for a 29er.

Indeed Alias has got one.

He also has a Banshee Paradox he is trying to sell as he says the Paradox rides too close to the Sultan to warrant keeping the two

Nice bike.

Not really surprised it looks normal sized as a 21" frame is hooge!

Having tested a Sultan and owning a Paradox I'd say there's a whole load of difference.
