I am such a spoiled git and I am getting bored of my carbon fibre framed spesh epic and although it won't change my fitness/bravery/ability to go faster/attractiveness to anyone else - I am getting the urge to change the frame. Sooo I'm looking around at what's a little more "exclusive" i.e. not sold at your major cyle shop chain.
If you think you qualify then show me yours and your justification for boutiqueness....
Ooooooh, think I might have to post, oh yes. ๐
Thank god nick ๐
So do you want something that will ride really well that no one else has got, or do you just want something that no one else has got?
Innit though? Bent hybrid?
I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder and all that, but that lynskey makes my collection of boutique(ish) munters look positively divine!
Did you ever get a mudgaurd to fit it Nick?
c_g- I've not seen one of those before, is it a US import?
Nicknoxx - MemberThe only one in the world:-
Thank god.
Dunno tazzy, maybe imported into the South from Northern climes. ๐
Check out those bar ends!
I have more niche bar ends!
I've got some reggae mid 90's x-lite red anodised bar ends, matching red ano ringle bottle cage... oh yes.
ace I've still got some xlite bars and a seatpost as well, retrotastic
RealMan - MemberSo do you want something that will ride really well that no one else has got, or do you just want something that no one else has got?
A bike that rides well and is not from spesh, trek, giant etc - I don't want something unique just a bit beyond the usual....
Didn't know till tonight botique ment ugly
After 3 hours and the best the STW massive can come up with is a pair of Ti lovelies and a p*ss take....things have changed - I must be getting old.
Reckon there's a sense of humour failure on here tonight. ๐
and i still can't get the smilies to work.

That is a really nice colour Amos but can't read the words, what is it?

hmmmm methinks it's time to sell all my bikes and start again
Been telling you that for the last 12 months pal ๐
tazzymtb - Memberhmmmm methinks it's time to sell all my bikes and start again

They're in Fort Collins, Collarado.
I told James from Black Sheep what I wanted and we agreed how to go about it after a few different drawings and countless emails and phone calls.
CG it's a Titus El Guapo, it's an FSR link so essentially an over priced specialized, pretty though!
EDIT: Hang on just looked at the pic I posted and knowing the level of sarcasm on this forum are you taking the pi55? ๐
yeh but nothing rides as well as that ally wolfhound ripoff I've got or the "it burns my eyes" ellsworth.
I'm lookin for another sinister plus another sub 20lb racey hardtail is is being planned and I'm just not niche enough for a custom build.
back to nice geared marin I think,at least my beard and ron-hills will go with it ๐
I'm just not niche enough for a custom build.
But you ARE niche mate!
