Can't seem to get building a SS out of my mind, would also probably try this Rigid thing (Carbon Fork).
I have been watching these threads about 69ers/96ers with interest as well.
It will probably not happen, but just in case STW must have loads to look at.
Come on show us em!
Both cheap and expensive ones.

Miserable sod John.
Is the offer for that 'dog along the bike rig' of yours still on?
Now summer is on it's way I want to get our Archie out and about.

AndrewMoke, that's a de-stickered Kona Unit (2006 I think) If you ride a 16in frame JE James had a few 07 models left at a good price (black though, not poo brown!)

actually it's a 2004 Kona Explosif (before they started messing with the geometry), re-sprayed poo brown :o)
Here is my current fave. Frame and forks are only $550+shipping and designed by [url= http://www.osbikes.com ]Mark Slate[/url] (WTB founder and all round bike guru!) Really differnent 29er geometry that should not work...but it does!

. . . and yes, I know I have too much time on my hands . . . anyway, colouring helps my parcel stress.

Some rather long travel rigid forks in this thread.....
🙄 😉
They don't have to be rigid I was looking at photies of all types.
I'm sure the STW massive have many more than this though.
Only 2 on-one's? what's going on there?
All types. Go on then I'll play.

Looking to try a 29" front wheel on it and may look for an 18" frame.
brown resprayed Kona? by john_l is it a respray if so where did you get it done? or is it one of those powdercoating jobs??
Resprayed by Bob Jackson nr Leeds
colouring helps my parcel stress.
Mama, have you injured yourself, opening parcels of yet more tiny bikes???
Cheap cheap, cheapy-cheapy cheap-cheap!

No, I'm fine RudeBoy - parcel stress has gone now too (UPS van came this morning 😛 . Now I have a bad case of respray impatience 😉 . White powder coat made an ideal base coat and it's now pink after keying with fine grade wet and dry.
Don't worry I haven't gone all soft 😉 - fingers crossed a Volkswagen orange overspray will have it looking the perfect match for my Tazer . . . and then there's the lacquer. Hopefully it'll be up and running by half term.
clwydrider what size is that new one of yours if your considering a 18"?
Cheers lads keep em coming!
I still want to marry you, Mamadirt!
Love the 96er Fisher - is that a steelgary fisher 29er frame?
Loving that RM Vertex too - wouldn't mind that for my geared HT.
What is that (Ti) frame with a couple curvy tubes and the USE mono fork?
[img] 
[/img]
You'll have to settle for a go on my Tazer if you make it down to Cwmcarn RudeBoy 😉
Mikee. Thanks for the nice comment. It's a real Merlin one 😆
I got it on here as a frame, and I am so delighted with it. It's a fantastic ride, in spite of being weighed down by the rather hefty fork.

My name may lead you to believe I am not fit enough for SS, it does not lie.
Vortex
20" Ridesfine, but just get the feeling a smaller frame will feel beter. The old frame was about 16, to small but great fun
