weighs half a ton, is beast on climbs with a fat front, but is more fun than a fun thing and makes me smile like a child a christmas ๐
one of these days I'll be a tart and actually take a camera with me to take all arty pics of my bikes rather than just using my phone ๐
that looks "very" rugged ๐
only problem is that my inner weight weenie is kicking in and a full Ti space frame one, my blingy bits that are on this gas pipe version would be ace and lighter! does anyone want to buy a kidney, part of a liver, my mum etc.... so I can afford one ๐
looks loverly to me..........is your mum under 50? ๐
no, but for enough money I'll put a frock on and a falsetto voice for you ๐
pics of mum ?
there's a peculiar aversion to gears going on in that group shot!
don't need no gear danglies or suspension forks for welsh hills ๐
oh come on mate,I know that's a pic of you really............. ๐
Keef, you're right, that's Tazz in his extreme off road cycling gear.
can't be me as she's got no beard,
very nice tazzy, someone somewhere must be selling a ti one now they're common as muck
Looks good taz!. Must have a word with one of the niche boys to have a go on one of these to see what all the fuss is about ๐
that's a 4" Vee rubber devistator, heavy but sticks like poo to a blanket.
If I can get the folding bead 127tpi Nate I may sacrifice a bit of girth for a weight saving.
I do miss my truss forks, but the unicrown ones work very well, just don't look quite as nice
tricky you can have a go on mine and the selma which is now down to silly weight and goes like a fker!
good grief! Different folks, different strokes I guess ๐
I've owned loads of "normal" bikes and to be honest the jones is more fun on the down hill bits and just as confidence inspiring as my ellsworth or sinister full bouncers.
It also really seems to upset gearie trail ridery weekend warriors when it overtakes them ๐
Would love to mate. Fancy cannock chase in the new year. Unles you're down this way and could hook up with tollah and co for a ride?
either man, your welcome to come for a guided bimble in the new year bring yourself and some pedals and you can have a go on both 29ers over a nice little 30-40 miler ๐
haven't seen tollah and the niche boys n girls since SSUK so would be good to catch up with them as well
Cool. I want I want I want a fat bike! would be perfect for beaches n stuff round here.
So now I can see what you were doing whilst I was at the bottom of the hill with an exploding chain- harrumph!!
taz,
that looks like a good thing, howsit climb? does the front end wander any? i can see how they're good pointing down but they have a short front centre?
Hey Futon, it's time we hooked up for a ride again (maybe in the North Downs), my mail addy is in my profile if you're keen.
aa- climbs fine with a 29er in the front, climbs erm...steady with a fat front but that's down to it being nearly 29lb and singlespeed still perfectly doable it just feels like I'm running a couple of teeth higher on the gear ratio.
Once I've got my pimp daddy front wheel and custom hub sorted it'll all be a bit more reasonable.
the geometry really is spot on with a jones, as long as you don't want a flat out race machine* they are fantastic.
*thats what my 20lb selma is for ๐
pop, that's what you get for running a geardanglingflappyflippyshiftylegspinnymincersbike ๐
29lbs? fair dos, it looks like a bit of a lump. I gotta get me a go on a fat bike. Just looks like fun.
you forgot minisculewheeled!!
That's got Clink written all over it ๐
That's got Clink written all over it
You may be right as its the only one in the UK. ๐
nah slappy, there's a purple one that lives on the chase as well (ex manchester trev, now a ringo machine), plus lots of others around. Not many coloured ones though as they mainly seem to be black.
Sorry, I meant in Blue.
WTF is the point in a useless POS like that?
Can you not afford a propper bike?
Edit.
BTW your mom looks hot.
cheers stu, it has no point other than to make me waste my money on cheap taiwanese tat. Can't afford a normal bike. I would like to say as well that the fat front makes it harder to push up hill for photographs, maybe I should make a polystyrene replica as it'll never actually get ridden ๐
My mom is hot and says she quite fancies some brummie love action, so you may be in luck
rootes the landie would never make it, that amount of 29er wheel in one place classifies as an IED!
My mom is hot and says she quite fancies some brummie love action,
The only brummie I know is Keef but i think he likes the older ladies that entertain multiple gentelmen in his local park.
Your mom looks far too classy for that though.

true.. I would miss the Swift though as I have one ๐
Si
SSStu- you talk funny enough to be counted ๐
You realy know how to insult a blackcountry boy don't you. ๐ฅ
so sir is a yamyam then ๐
See you've made another mistake there by calling me sir.
sorry I forgot it's a weekend. You'll be called miss fifi trixabelle as that's your stage name
Stu,please keep your personal tar brush to yourself,I am not a Brummie.
PS,get to the back of the 'Tazzy's mum' que.........

PS,get to the back of the 'Tazzy's mum
anyone mentions doors and SAS style entries and there will be trouble ๐
the petty squabblings of a load of mincy midlanders
That's rich coming from someone that lived not a stones throw away when they were younger. ๐
mincy midlanders
I concur these natives of the midlands are a strange breed, thank the lord I'm not one of 'em
8) i didnt say i wasnt one, just amused by the others .
anyway have you got some offroading to do ?
but be careful of that big g a p
I couldn't sleep last night.
i just kept thinking that the GAP was round the next corner and coundn't relax. ๐
