[Closed] Stooge Cycles - who's interested? (slack 29er content)

My thought is a hardtail has bouncy front suspension and the stooge is fully rigid .

I think there's some good potential for some Kickstarter campaigns or even Seedrs campaign- depending were you want the project/business to go.

Got to admit that would be my take on it too.

LOL. Can't believe we're doing this

Yeh like I'm going to take any notice of a man called Kevin Tisue! 🙂

As someone with a permanent n+1 itch, hearing that the purple has sold out is actually good news in a twisted kind of way!

Same here - although it does raise the spectre of a lovely green one appearing at some point. Or a red one. Orange maybe....

A version with 29+ rear spacing would be nice... in purple too 😉

It was just that no one called them that till front suspension came along 😉

next versions should be matt black or raw steel with a mad max-esque finish.

if anyone wants a demo ride in the midlands give me a shout and you can snaffle mine for a day or two

Snaffling a stooge sounds like something you shouldn't Google 😆

raw steel with a mad max-esque finish

..this

my brothers is taking shape, he doesn't post on here, but ill post the pics

What's the weight difference between the rear and front wheels on that? Is it noticeable? i.e light xc 29 vs 29+

Will be loads, but he's changing to rear rim/tyre when funds available

Crest v rabbit hole +300g at a guess
Crossmark v knard + 500g at a guess
50g on the stans rear hub v the king front

Same here - although it does raise the spectre of a lovely green one appearing at some point. Or a red one. Orange maybe....

Metalflake orange, perhaps 😉
or Kawasaki green

hmmm

If you consider doing copperslip brown, mine's coming in for a respray

Root beer would be nice!

@jonestown keep the blue, it's your signature colour. Other colours in small batches as you did with the purple. I like raw, it works well on the industrial Intense Tracer, that thing's like a battleship, but perhaps not for your skinny tubes.

B+ in the back and 20+ in the front

This better not be a link to a Kim Kardashian pic

I'd love to see chrome forks on a candy apple red frame in homage to one of the all-time classic race bmx's.. The 1984 JMC Darrell Young - it would look beyond amazing !

Funnily enough i used to race one of those back in the 80's, beautiful bike. About 10 years ago i sold it for £150. Oh how i regret that. It was as-new and an exact replica on the man himself's.

I see a ltd edition coming on here.

Can you do me one in Niner, Kermit Green...
She'd not notice then. 8)

the last purple one should be with me tomorrow !! 😆

purple, that's so over.

I'm going to get my Karate Monkey done in that metal flake orange!

Daisy Duke's aged well.

Mattjg, you can't keep posting on this thread without buying one. It's not cricket : )

pink on-ones > purple stooges 😉

When are you taking deposits?

Careful what you wish for.

Best bit of being a Stooge owner so far** is I get to reuse that old CK headset that's been in my spares box for 3 years (& I nearly sold several times).

** obv. I've not ridden it yet, owner != rider

Whilst I'm posting images, here's one from today.

pics too painful on STW, I gave up years ago.

I am thinking though you me and Cheezpleez should inaugerate Stoogefest-South, at Swinley or over here at BikePark Surrey Hills.

I'd be up for that! I haven't touched any of my other bikes for a long time now. It's just so much fun and so easy to grab in this weather.

quite a ride, good job

lap 2?

Just the one lap today.
It's been pouring all day and really heavy going in the sticky mud.

80 miles yesterday...

Supreme comfort!

Lovely photos. 80 miles is great! Hopefully i'll do some when weather permits. What sort of elevation do you do?

Relieved to see front mudguard age on there at last Kbrembo. I was starting to fret.

In other new Mudhugger "orange " 29er rear guard fits a treat and still enables post dropping.
Not pretty, so no pics.

Count me in for Stoogefest South. Prefer the trails and cake over at Surrey hills.
