Ok if one must...

[IMG] [/IMG]

[img] [/img]

ill be replacing the frame to a soul in the spring.

Crappy quality cam pic:

[img] [/img]

Soul - not currently built up but just about to get a more XC, 100mm set-up
[img] [/img]

Inbred - not currently built up but about to get a rigid, geared hack/commuter set-up
[img] [/img]

Van Nicholas Zion - has flat bars and SID's at the moment
[img] [/img]

Dave Hinde M3 - about to get stripped and mothballed.
[img] [/img]

vortex, what are you taking next week mate???
i have just been out on the stiffee, might drag it round.

GT Zaskar I've had for 10 years but by now is a bit of a "triggers brush".

[img] [/img]

Not sure if I can go yet Tony,

Been working way too many hours to get this job at work finished.

I think the Mrs and Kids will not take to me taking the only day i'm likely to get off and riding round the Lakes with you guys.

This job will hopefully be done for mid February after which normal hours will resume together with [b]LOADS[/b] of riding.

Pity was really looking fwd to it an'all

[img] [/img]

Haven't changed a thing yet. Saddle and chainrings might be replaced by something different when they wear out though.

[img] [/img]

[b]Transition Vagrant[/b]

[img] [/img]

😆

That Transition looks a 'stiff as a stiff thing'. I assume not one for folks with dodgy backs

'For those who prefer to really feel the trail'

Thats better!
Was toying with swapping for an Evil Sovereign but at the moment I dont ride enough anyway and I have a baby due next month, so perhaps I should be sensible for a change and give the chameleon some TLC and trail time.
Forks are a bit dated but with a service they'll be right as rain.

Good excuse to post my updated pic. Another Handjob in the snow.

Right then, first photo on here lets see if this works. In theory this is my beloved P7 sat at the entrance to something a little cheeky!
[img] [/img]

It does work, I am well pleased!

[img] [/img]
my genesis io and my altitude ti

My latest project, just about finished. Built using as many yorkshire, lancashire and uk made/designed bits as possible.

[IMG] [/IMG]

Now fully equiped with mud tyres and mud!

My winter ride:
[img] [/img]

...which was a rebuild of this when I realised I wasn't 'core' enough to really benefit from its beefy frame:

[img] [/img]

Some nice, and some truly hideous bikes.

Faves so far, 1st Soul, the Endofin and the Chumba

I really like 19s. Then the Souls, then the Sanderson.

Those sandersons are nice. That grey primer is on the list of possible respray colours for this, whenever I get it done, along with poo brown, the apple green that Orange are using at the moment, and a dark metallic grey.

Hopefully this worked. I still need to shorten and re-route the hoses, and cut the steerer (way too many spacers on atm) otherwise it's finished.

Any excuse...

So many 'premium' brand hardtails in this thread

Right, my collection of cheap tat (fugly) hardtails:
If only I could include the FS to raise the (low) standard

[img] [/img]
Still thinking of swapping the frame for narrow tubed steel something

[img] [/img]
A 'play' bike. Frame bought with 72% off, most* bits were lying around going spare
*except grips and BB. Since bought new stem and bars
And yes, I know the colour scheme is far from pretty

[img] [/img]
Bought secondhand for commuting with steps/curbs in mind with 80psi narrow slicks. Now does occasional lighter/shorter offroad rides
Thinking of respraying, though don't know whether I'd be better off putting money toward a nice steel frame instead
Currently undergoing 'transformation' to 1x7. Can't decide whether to use a 7spd gripshifter lying about, or an 8spd trigger shifter and bodging it
