Posting fail. Insta private can’t be bothered to change it for a picture.
Anyway. I agree. Rigid is fun!
Well, here's my effort.

Had it........6? 7? years now. I would like something newer, but it's just not given me any cause to!
I also have a spare set of wheels with 28mm continental gatorskin tyres fitted, it's a real tarmac weapon in that guise.

Loving the splatter paint job!
i still hanker for an old, skinny, steel, 26er ss with discs…. dekerf,
something like this, sadexpunk? Had it since, 2000. This is post spruce up, discify, debounce and degear in 2012
Since raised the bars and chubbied the front. Got my eye on the Stooge Junker bars when they come so I can ditch the gopping stem.
breadcrumb, that little leveret is a beautiful little thing!
Disappointed but not surprised it's not available to buy!
UGgerly forked IO. It used to be used daily for dog walks, me and dog have separated 😉 , but it has an extremely useful utility function for shopping and taking garden waste to dump, so it will never die.
I wanted to add this one, but didn't have any suitable pics, until this morning on a long way in to work.
1996 Trek 850, that because of it being my commuter/everything else bike, ends up being what I probably ride more than anything.

Lots of personal project parts- Brake boosters, bar-ends, chain tensioner, bash ring, 26.8 dropper, ghetto tubeless.

Not sure if either of these count as 'mountain' bikes, but I've ridden them both on red (and a bit of black) trails at trail centres, and beyond:
If I knew how I’d post a pic of my rigid Puffin below.
And my rigid SIR.9.
Both equally ace.
My Ex "terrahawk" tinbred - best bike ever owned .. 🙂

CBA to take pics -
Surly Wednesday
On One Inbred 29" & 26"
On One Scandal
All the above are single speed, just goes together dunnit
Some genuinely lovely looking bikes in this thread.
Got me thinking of the rigids I rode back in the early 90's. Not ridden a rigid since and can't but help feel I'm missing out on the simplicity I remember from that era.
Does anyone still sell a good, rigid MTB off the peg? Deore or above, good frame, MTB not touring geometry? If so, I could ne tempted to get my credit card out...
Oh this thread. This b*stard of a thread. I read it, then re-read it and then went on to another tab and purchased a Bombtrack Beyond + ADV frameset. It just seemed the right thing to do. It was wasn't it?
I was toying with this one @lunge but they're not available till October and that was to late for me, I wanted one now!
@Lunge, would perhaps a Genesis Longitude or a Shand Bahookie be your bag?
have a look at brother cycles, they have some lovely rigid mountain bikes, or have a chat to andy at stooge who will build you whatever spec you want onto one of his frames to suit your budget
It just seemed the right thing to do. It was wasn’t it?
Yes. Yes it was!

Marin do some nice rigids now don't they?
MTB not touring geometry?
Wassat mean?
Normal MTB geometry is designed to integrate the suspension into the handling - I'd argue that rigid MTBs need to be different.
Very good teadrinker! I was thinking the exact same thing.
Every now and then a b*stard thread comes up. This is one.

yes, exactly like that, how much please? 😉
@lunge There are a few completes still about, as mentioned before Brother do a nice one, as do Ribble. Wonder and Marin have good ones under a grand, but I've been perving over the 2020 Kona Unit-X that's just been released. Still cant afford it, though.

Thanks, it's definitely an one-off. I need to build myself a frame, might make a start at some point one day!
Might have already been mentioned, but Nordest do a nice rigid
Some super bikes posted. Best thread I've read all year.
+1
Custom Ramin, frame and fork* to be swapped for a Stooge mk4 in about a week 🙂
(stealth ad: so the frame and fork pictured above will shortly be for sale [very cheaply] if this thread has anyone curious to try rigid)
I really must pull my finger out and sort out posting a photo of my Ti Singular Hummingbird singlespeed. Almost certainly my favourite bike of any I’ve owned, although the steel Hummingbirds are ace too.

How many folks here are also running a gravel bike as well as their rigid MTB?
My gravel bike is my commuter so I have a second set of wheels for my rigid bike to run some faster tyres
How many folks here are also running a gravel bike as well as their rigid MTB?
Yep.
Use it mostly as a commuter.

Guilty. Vulcan Bicycle Works:
Not raced on it for a while but still gets ridden. Nearly 25 years old.
