Has any one ridden one of these bikes looks like a good value full sus 29er thinking of a 29er but can't feel the fully rigid single speed idea, 😀 any one had a ride??

Haven't ridden one, but I do ride a Niner RIP 9, which is very similar in concept, and which I like a lot. The Horesthief is seemingly a lot better value though, and has an infinitely better name. The chainstays look a bit long, but I don't know if they are.
Check singlespeed.nl for good deal.

oops double post
Our UK guys rode one in Vegas this year. Apparently it was awesome. If you want a test ride I can put you in touch with the guys at Ison who can tell you your nearest dealer.

Hi Gee my local bike shop seems to sell Salsa frames

I'll go and speak to them...
RUMBLEFISH....and we got one too 😀
i ride a spearfish and thats awesome so the thief can only be betterer
I have demo spearfish for you to try, and the horse thief will be along soon.
The guys I know who have ridden one have loved it.
One of the nice things with salsa is a complete spearfish is roughly the price of a Niner frame. Really nice bikes.
Thanks for the offer of a demo charlie the bike monger, I'm in N.Wales a tad far to come to sunny Dorset, you are spot on they seem to be really excellent value, cheers 🙂
Now then I like that a lot. Shame about the SRAM build kit though.
Anyone know the price of a complete Spearfish 1?
They look fantastic: http://salsacycles.com/bikes/spearfish/
The frame looks good as well: http://salsacycles.com/bikes/spearfish_1_frame/
Take a look on Ison Distribution's website as they list all the variants that are coming to the UK.
They're only bringing in the spearfish 3 @£2099...pretty low rent spec (X5/7,toras).Frame is £999.I built a custom one up for the shop last week.Full SLX,Hope hoops,White Bros fork,Pro Koryak finishing kit for £2500.
Spearfish even better value which would be best for me is the decision 🙂
Are they really as long as the geometry figures say on their site ie even the medium 18" has a 24.3" top tube unless I am misremembering
Spearfish=Hardtail with a bit of cush.
Horsethief=Ride off things.
