[Closed] Show me your SS 29er's

That curtis looks lovely. It could even tempt me away from my singular. 😐

Lovely 😀

Moustache thoroughly twitched...

Cracking looking frame.

What are the bars?

bars look like [url= http://www.sevencycles.com/accessories/mtnhndlbars.php ]these[/url]

Yep, custom Seven cycles with 17 deg sweep, arrived after 5 days

WOW! 🙂

that Curtis is truly lovely.

Just seems right somehow.

Out of curiosity, what's it weigh?

(runs off to check finances)

21.7lb, 23.75" t/t 17" Seat tube, 70.4 Head angle.
If your ever down Somerset way give me a shout

Wow, that curtis is stunning!

Qwerty, how do you find the vitus? Seems to be the perfect no nonsense commuter/pub/messing about bike on a budget.

Hmmm I was eyeing those bars earlier. Candodavid would be interested in seeing them in the flesh some time.

Where are you based/

Candodavid am in Reading but ride the Quantocks now and again :D. Oh and mine;

Sadly gone (wish I never sold those Phil wheels)

I play with gears now and then but I seem to always end up back to SS.

This thread really makes me want another Singular.

🙁

amva - ticks all those boxes

That Curtis is lovely, but I'm still leaning towards the Singulars. They just look 'right'.

I like the idea of being able to run gears too. I think I love my P7 too much to change to a 29er though... but maybe if Orange did a P7 29er...

That Curtis - yum. The welds are something else!

What's the grey/silver Singular? That looks lovely too..

Rich

Rich - my guess is that it's the ti Pegasus. A Swift but in ti!

Curtis has a mech hanger, please note its brazed, not welded...pah

Another Swift

I'm a firm believer in a man should never stroke another man's rhubarb but that Curtis is beautiful.

@ssboggy - Nice!

I really love this bike! As it was as a S/S!

Kona Raijin. First foray into the land of 29ers, not had the chance to get out on it proper yet but should be off to Glentress on Saturday 😀

That Kona is massive, i'd need a box to stand on to get on it.

Here's my Retrotec on an interesting and lengthy winter commute.

First mountain bike, bought off here. Well used, well loved. I trashed the freewheel pawls yesterday, so SS must be strengthening the legs 😆

Here's one of mine.

Slight hijack, but I'd love to know how many of you are using these as your only (mountain) bike - or have you also got a fully geared 26" full suss in the shed? There are some very temptingly beautiful bikes in this thread, but sadly I fear it would have to be an 'instead of' rather than 'also' for me to justify one...

Mine is my only mountain bike.

I have a 26" SS with font boing, the XC9, and a Nicolai Helius CC, and a road bike.
The most ridden is the XC9, mendip, quantock, anywhere really.
Helius is mainly for big days out, where suspension makes it just a bit more daft.

All my bikes are singlespeed and big wheeled. from my light and racy to big days out in the mountains, chunky and boingy fronted. I may add a gearie back into the collection (1x10) for a something like a transition bandit 29er or niner WFO for alpine hols, but that's it.

My other mountain bike is also singlespeed. 😀

This has been my only bike for a while.

Bouncy...

Love riding it rigid but cant seem to shake off a shoulder pain, so (sadly) rigid days might be numbered. 😕

Will confess to a couple of hardtails with big wheels and gears.

This is my only bike. I do have an Alfine 8 back wheel that I mainly use for road/flat stuff (attached to the rest of the bike, obviously...)

[img] ?psid=1[/img]

My other bikes are 26" with gears and SS.

This one's been resurrected as I was hankering after a SS cross bike for lunch rides and realised this was hanging around. Will be putting some cross tyres on soon for a couple of races.

Only mountain bike ? Well, yes and no.
I swap between SS and Rohloff rear wheels.
I've done over 2000km SS in the last 5 months on it.

Picked this up from Triton for the pricely sum of £420. First 29er, so we'll see how I get on with it. Commuting duies over the weekend then it's first proper ride monday. Saddle and bars will be changed asap (personal preference). Weighs in at 25.5lbs/11.5kg for a XL/20"

wishiwascalledsteve - the 'dale looks nice in the flesh. Let me know how it rides...

seeing as it's a Singular fest
