ti frame beats my carbon race bike into a cocked hat feels more stable and i swear thats what makes it seem faster - seems more planted over bumps and the rough stuff - while accelerating just as quick !
only about half a pound in it when both are set up ss ....
tempted to sell my race bike !
pedalhead- HOW MUCH KIT FOR A BIVVY!! Dear lord that's more than I'd take for a week in the mountains.
lovely bike though 😀
pedalhead shows why 29ers have a future 🙂 a great base for a bike to do it all.. well with a shed full of other wheels / bars / gears etc)

i currently have a ragley td-1 which i run ss alfine or 1 x9 depends on what and where we are riding,,

rough specs
very short chainstays (for a 29er )
huge mud clearance 2.5 tyres with +10mm all around
new swapout dropout fixed for gears adjustable for ss hub
belt drive compatable
designed for 80-100mm travel forks

Ade - that sounds curiously like an e-stay 29er......
And if it is you'll beat me to it you bounder!
Had a bit of a disaster with my homebuild - I was half way through a former to make a nice curve in the seat tube, then took a tumble on 1st Jan in Grizedale resulting in dislocated shoulder that took 10 hours to get back in. Lots of internal damage so no danger of using a hacksaw or torch anytime soon 🙁
Mick r sorry to hear of your troubles,, and to make matters worse yes you are right,,
i think it's the best way to get very short chainstays and massive mud clearance ,,
it,s currently being built just hope the drawings i did were ok as getting a 2nd prototype built is not an option,,

Poo! It was my idea! (throws toys out of pram with one good arm)
Although somebody else did beat us to it with a 29er (but doesen't look like they made the chainstays very short so not really sure what the point was) http://www.mrazek.com/29.html
Very brave to have something so unusual made far far away but I guess you have the experience to make it work - good luck and show us all the results. Are you using the same people as Spanner?
I'm still a little worried about catching heels on the stays. But if I screw up then have metres of spare Columbus cro-mo to play with and can melt them off and braze on some new ones 😉
How short? Mine should adjust down to at least 15.9"....
I was supposed to be riding it at SSEC but will now be a spectator (no idea if frame will be done)
Didn't the BB in e-stay bikes flex a lot?
that was 20 years ago technology has moved on just think of the front triangle of a single pivot suspension bike,, we dont hear about bb flex anynore
any excuse 😀

heres mine just made also belt drive compatible (just waiting on bits)
built around a niner fork i.e 470mm axle to crown
only ridden a handful of time but already love it
Wow, Cheesy, that is an absolutely exquisite frame, who makes it?
I'm just build up a Ragley TD:1 with DT Swiss XRR fork, Kings Headset and hubs and Stans Crests, Full 2011 XTR 2x10 race groupset, Thomson finishing kit with an Answer bar and Gobi. So excited, I'll get some pictures up. Marathon bike here we come.
Some beautiful fabrications in here.
Mick i honestly havnt seen that bike before ,, a little dissapointed as there are some some simulatities ,,
but that seat stay what were they thinking they seemed to have gone out of their way to get the front mech geometry correct but ruined everything else, clearance, looks etc,, there are other solutions,,
it looks so 1990's
my chainstay length is 16.41 (417) fixed then 417-437 adjustable
around 16 would be do-able but would lose clearance and i would struggle with front mech and triple setup on my design
i did have a last min panic over heal clearance but after measuring up my current bikes and a small change to the chainstays it should be sorted
i did speak to Lynskey in the us to build it they were up for it , but needed a min order of 15 ,, and certainly not in the position to do that ,, so now it has gone to the far east,, service is very good so far with very quick turnaround on changes
Mick my email is ade1963@aol.com lets chat
Nice frame Cheesey.
Where'd you get it. 😉

There is some nice kit there. Really looking forward to getting mine sorted. Will be posting a picture and 'outing' my purchase hopefully by the weekend.
I currently have a few people guessing on what I am getting so will keep it under wraps until then.
Can't wait - expecting the call to say the frame is ready for me to pick up an time today!
😀
Sofaking is that ketton in the back ground?
Heres a crap quality camera phone pic of mine.Hastily taken exclusive for this thread.Some fantastic looking bikes on here btw.

Milky bar kid being once of that Parish and my mother still living there i would say not as there is no rise out towards Collyweston or over toward Tinwell and Stamford.
It looks like the track between tinwell & easton on the hill.
Sycip showed a steel e-stay 29er at Interbike...
the FD positioning options on a 29er mean there's better ways to have a 16.5" rear end though.
Front derailleur? I've hardly used one for the last 10 years 🙂 A max 32t chainring and no front mech opens up a lot more options in e-stay design.
Some lovely bikes here but can't wait to see Ade's creation! (Ade - YGM)

James I am always open to suggestions ,, but i am looking for short chainstays and massive mud clearance still using 2.5 plus tyres
can any other 29ers offer that?

For a hardcore build, have a look at Drjon's blog. 83 mm bb and 150 rear end made by VERTIGO. I'm looking at something similar and am looking to get Justin Burls to build it for me.
Cheers
Sanny

you are correct.
it's the bridleway from Tinwell upto Easton on the hill
I stand corrected seems my memories grow weaker with age felt sure the hills behind the cement works were bigger!!!:O(
