[Closed] PlanetX Dirty Harry... 29er

What would you like to know? 🙂

Shame the dimensions C and F are drawn wrong. Heads rolling 🙂

What would you like to know?

Wow that must be a record for your response time Brant.

Im not after more info tho,

Repeat after me:
I will not buy another bike,
I will not buy another bike,
I will not buy another bike,
I will not buy another bike,
I will not buy another bike,
....

Why under the planet x brand name? and how does it differ to the lurcher?

My favourite film of all time now has a stupid plastic ****yniner named after it.

my favourite comic actor now has a ****ty, pointless forum poster named after him 😉

IIRC didn't brant say that px would be selling some less core/more racy versions of on one bikes. guess that's what this'd be...

how does it differ to the lurcher?

It doesnt look ****ing awful to start with.

Your mistake clubber. It's not named after that coogan.

maybe dh isn't either 🙂 I had a mate called dirty harry...

Plant X website says otherwise...

looks like the sort of bike I love, with the exception of the horrific logo emblazoned on the down tube. I do like a bit of subtlety rather than garish toys r us style graphics

BB standard?
Seatpost size?
Can I survive on rice for a month....

And the stupid wheel size

decals are self adhesive, supplied separately and available for owners to fit, or not fit at their discretion.

Is it a 650B then?

Wait till Clink reads this, he's gonna flip his lid...ok maybe not

😆

er..nope!

A geared Lurcher? Not what I'm after...not that I'm after anything!

Only one set of bottle cage bosses? Boo

shame. I know why they do it but especially in the larger sizes I'd rather have another set of bottle cage bosses.

This looks good, I'm looking for a new race bike and was thinking about the 29er race or the lurcher. Will the 29er race ever come back into stock or is this the option to go for now. And will you be getting the rigid carbon bladed forks back in stock?
Cheers

29er Race on the water now, though only in 18in size.
Carbon forks coming too in the same container (or "can" as Colin likes to call them).

What's the pricing like?

carbon forks - with an alu crown or full carbon niner style forks?

I thought you weren't jumping on the 'effective horizontal chainstay' bandwagon? 😉

Thank god for that 😯

Are these the long lost 15mm 'niner' styled carbon forks.

Those were X-lite weren't they? If so that would have been under Brant's previous job with hotlines(?)

Any update on when the geared Lurchers will be, errr, in the can, on the water ? 😀

So what's the difference between this and a lurcher or race 29er?

Lighter, stiffer, or just less ugly?

They were x-lite but he might have brought the moulds with him 😆

Looks like they are now sold out anyway, or is this just the pre-orders that have sold out?

Now in stock.

Well hello....I like the lack of faff on the bike. What I was looking for... damn

Like the bike but it's all getting a bit confusing with the different parts of the company overlapping each other, i feel a re-launch is needed to keep things simple,

HT/cross - On one
Full sus - Titus
Road/Tri - Planet X

KISS

Looks nice 🙂

I was hunting for something like this, where does it sit in the lineup? Heavier than a Race XC, lighter than a Lurcher? Or is it a Lurcher by another name?

i have no idea.

but i've just been into the showroom, and can confirm that it had looked great.

and if their other carbon frames are anything to go by, it'll weigh practically sod-all.

Shame it has just 1 set of bottle cage bosses, not sure I see the point of that.

What would happen if you were to drill the seattube and resin some bolt sleeves in?

Try it and let us know how that works out 😉

Well you'd have a frame with no warranty for one.

It's so that you can drop the seatpost fully. I'd argue that it's not really necessary for what is supposedly a more jey target market and even if it is, maybe not in the bigger sizes.

Are they all matte, or are there some glass ones like:
