[#4059426]

As per title...I converted to 29er HT at the start of the year and I have a 26er HT that won't ever be ridden again that will be morphing into a cheap-ish 1x9 rigid 29er build over the next couple of weeks.

Idea's and inspiration required please guys 😀

Cheers.

Plenty here:

I'm going through the same process by the way but have settled on a Singular Swift - just trying to get the cash together :o)

This is my Unit and its been great, I do fancy a change though and shortlisted are the Cotic Solaris or a Chinese carbon job.

If Angus Young and Animal off the Muppet Show could be distilled into one bike =

Ok not the cheapest option, but honestly, if fun and handling are in the VFM equation it's well worth the £.

Fenred,

Nice to here from you!

I would keep an eye out for a nice Scandal frame to start your project.

here is my Scandal again! 😉

This bike weighs nothing compared to my full bouncer and flies up hills. The 1 x 10 set up works brilliantly and the full rigid makes the rocky, off road stuff interesting.

Here it is at 1500 feet!

bish - Loving that monkey!

tk - How you doing mate? Scandal was on the shopping list but bought khani's GF x-cal frame (even lighter) to kick the project off. Just waiting on delivery of exotic carbon forks to get things rolling....Should be a nice light build! V inspired by your "that blue" scandal tho 8)

tazzy - They are all just mental :mrgreen:

Greedy? and bikes? does not compute? 🙂

I would say, if money allows, you should have a new bike regularly!

In a way I really miss the Inbred, for what it cost it was a fab bike. The Niner is nice though. Very light & so comfy. Did Cannocks Monkey Trail on it tonight, clearly not the right tool for it, but held its own. 🙂

My second Sw…everyone knows what it is! After the dry winter it’s now getting lots of use in the recent spell of near continuous moisture. Has a Surly rather than WTB cog and XT 780 rather than Candy 1 pedals in photos.
