decided that the Soul is the way to go in terms of long travel hardtails.
show me yours for inspiration!
Cheers!

if you insist 😀
I have one on order, currently buying bits for it, cant wait, its going to be awesome...
I must take a picture of mine, it's very pretty
[img]
Mine is a bit of an interim build at the moment, using parts I had lying around after the original stuff was taken off to build up an Enduro.

Not the best shot but the only one I've got at the mo.

not exactly long travel in my case mind
I've decided to go the Stiffee route. Oh I'm in the wrong thread? Oops! ;P

been though a few components since then - four different forks, three different brakes, two saddles, two bars/stems, two cranks, two wheelsets, two sets of mechs, two headsets - lost count of how many chains/cassettes/rings/cables etc.

Here's mine:

Only had it a few weeks so far. Build is 2009 Revelation 426 Air U-Turns with Maxle Lite, Hope/Stans 355 wheels and SLX drivetrain and brakes - that lot comes in at about 28lbs (admittedly with fairly heavy 2.35 tyres).
So far it's been for a week in Spain with Sierra Cycling and a long weekend in North Wales and acquitted itself admirably. It felt a bit sluggish on my (very flat and pedally) local trails but that's probably because I couldn't be bothered to change to more sensible tyres between trips away.
The old (2008) one, nicked May 2009 - R.I.P.
[img]
The new (2010) one, from Jan this year. Mmmm.
[img]
About 25lbs.

How though do you claim it as yours?
Is a girlie one allowed? Here she is:

LH4.GGPHT.COM white mudguards? are you mental?
Suspension seatpost huh?
Isn't that cheating?
And the white, oh my eyes...
Sorry, musn't be rude.
It's a Soul & therefore a nice bike (ruined). 🙂
Seems I'm short of good pics. It looks just the same as all the other black and white Souls though. Here it is with big brother
[IMG]
no photos in current guise..
but it looks the business with Lyriks (wound down to 140mm) and it happily steams down any trail thrown at it..
[IMG]
yum yum
Tsk tsk... Mudguards and suspension - makes it far too sensible 😉

Should this thread not be called "Bare your Souls"?
And and good work all, there are some lovely bikes pictured.
Fenboy, what colour is that? Looks good!
its called fern green! the original red was very tatty and never made me any faster!

it looks like 'Earl grey' rather than 'builders tea' as a few are, 😉
do like that one and also the Dark brown one of Frankers,
Something about the different coloured ones!
No pics of my Soul yet. Bought a second hand, quite old one off here some time ago, looked untidy, so I sent it to Argos who have:
Replaced the old tubular hose guides with proper zip tie ones, added an extra one in the centre of the top tube, put on crud catcher bosses, sprayed it in two pack tango and put on old style blue decals.
It is having the BB, head tube and brake mounts faced tomorrow and will be built up with:
Mark 1 Rockshox Pike Teams, Chris King Rasta headset and a selection of other stuff lying around the garage. Really looking forward to finishing it.
I sold mine last week. Nice feller that bought it as well, very red he was, with a pointy beard and little horns. Stan something, I think his name was...
toons - BFe or repainted Soul? Loving the colour scheme (even if thats the look I'm after with my BFe if I ever save enough money to buy it).
its' not mine, but its a repainted Soul
Looks nice - I like!
