I love everything about your bike OP but it does look like it needs to get out more.

I bet its a bugger to use with no pedals...

Love the rear hub. All black so it gets my vote. Very nice.

An old faithful bike, so simple, very zingy, a real pleasure.

[quote=fr0sty ]@NBT, what saddle are you running? Cheers

it's a cheap specialized body geometry saddle from the spares bin - I picked up from the classifieds here I think. The WTB Rocket V from the 26er SS will be going on soon

@5thumbs - The bars are Mt Zoom 25.4, the wide option (640mm) which are bar-end friendly, apparently. They are silly light at 109g, and have a 9 degree sweep I think.

They are even nicer in the flesh; great carbon layup and the finish is gorgeous in the sun.

Thanks for all the compliments folks.

Let's see more rigids/ss 29ers!

Does anyone else think that 29er's are uberbent if the frame size is less than 18".

Statement than a question!

Depends on the frame, some wear it better than others and i happen to think the on ones pull it off quite well. My canfield however looks daft in small sizes....albeit no worse than other extreme such as a 20" Orange 5 which looks ludicrous.

Can't wait to build up my new Swift tomorrow.

My Gryphon earlier this year.

(He's had a pretty easy summer, given that my Swift is doing most of the work, but the Swift is 3 x 10, so disqualified from this thread)

Just stop it! All of you, now!

I don't have any more room for bikes and my bank balance is very unhealthy so please stop posting up these ridiculous frankenbikes that I definitely, definitely don't want.

Agreed. Stop it now all of you because I definitely don't want to buy this

How's the belt drive working out Graham?

It's going well.
I found it's limits at SITS, the mixture of mud and grass getting wedged between the belt and pulley eventually broke the belt, although Gates have promised me a free replacement.
In normal mud and sand, it's brilliant.
