My L Tallboy LTc has arrived. Funkin beautiful construction even compared to my gen 1 tallboy carbon.
Hopefully get it built in the next few days....
Lucky.
Looking forward to seeing some photos once it's built...
The one JungleProducts had in yellow a few months ago looked lovely and was the first one in the country I think. It was destined for the mags (Guy Kev had it) so was fully blinged up.

Taps fingers and waits for the call from LBS telling me mine's arrived.
Oh and [b]come on get some pictures up.[/b] 😀
Dave'sw will be building his up in the next few days, Fox CTD 34's (Thanks Mojo!) carbon wheels, Hope and XTR kit.
Already for next week's big ride. 😀
It's built and I will try and get some snaps of it up for you to look at. It is a thing of beauty.
looking forward to seeing the pics, as I'm seriously considering one of these!
There were 10 hanging up in the place I get mine from - all sold. The yellow is quite lovely in real life very glossy. The black/orange is super stealth. I'll try and get some snaps up on Friday.
Have a pic but nowhere to host it !

email me the pics and I'll put them on my flickr! Want to see this!
Andy - sent. Please note specific lack of valve/logo lineup and the pond has got away from me a bit.
lets see 'em! 😀
Come on get em up. 😀
I've been promised mine will be here on Friday.

Is this ringing the death knell for pics of bikes at home/in the garden????!!!
Are we becoming too overly concerned with the back/foreground of weeds, dodgy skirting, hideous carpet, unpainted garage doors et al, that we would rather not place ourselves into a hotbed of positive, concerned critique??! 😉
Sorry - postimage.org
There you go (bloody Flickr password-login-reset nonesense 😡 )

your decking needs resanding as its oxidised... The bike though looks lush what wheels are on there and what weight is it? I was looking at one for next year with the Fox 34 and it was a sub 25lb with pedals...:-0
did you forget to put your tyres on?
Moda - thanks for that, its Kwila so it is supposed to be like that.
Wheels are 2year old ZTR hubs on 355's, i'm quite light and they have taken a beating so we will see how they go. REst of it is all the kit I took off my old TB (10spd Trail XTR mainly) pimp ho. All up weight, dunno, very light though - easily sub 25lbs.
I also found a beautiful big crack on my carbon Tallboy when i started to rebuild it. Right on the top tube in the curve above the shock. About 5cm long. Am talking to SC about whether it is warranty or not. Interesting thing is that it genuinely has never been crashed and has been ridden about 10,000kms but mainly in long adventure races plus general riding. Quite an odd place for it to crack really. Shame as I had sold it !!
Looking good!
Waiting not very patiently here - 3rd week of this month now apparently 👿
Looks nice that.
Is that a fruit bat hanging off the back of the chair?
Don't mean to be rude, but not sure the waiting/loading work was worth the effort. The photo really does not do justice to the bike. I saw one "in the flesh' last week at Biketreks in A'side. They are really good looking bikes especially the stealth black models (pun, intended). Real beauties!
Enjoy riding her (pun, unintended, pls ignore)
Jealous !!!
Here you go then some slightly better pictures with added spa content.

Looks great Col.

Just been told they've recieved a delivery but only the yellow frames have shown up.
Another two weeks for the blacks.
Bugger. I [b]really[/b] wanted mine before my weeks holiday not after. 😐
Indded looks great Col! Very nice build!
Stu who did you order yours with? Getting a call about a testbike later this week..
Where and how much for the frame lads ?
I'm having serious 29er AM frame debates over the next few months..
Two Wheels Cycles.
As for price let's just say a very good one. 😉
What made you 'upgrade' from the standard tallboy (albeit now the cracked one) to the LT version. I am considering either of these but am on a fully rigid now and wonder if the weight (if any?) penalty and more suspension bob is going to be significant etc.....
You wanna email me Stu ? Is this a deal i can get in on too ?
Please 🙂
Has any of you rode these back to back with a Transition Bandit 29er ??
How do they compare ???

my emails in my profile 😀
Weeksy/anthonyb.
Give them a ring/ go in and see them.
They're always keen on price.
I've tried the Bandit29 and the Tallboy LT.
Both nice bikes but i liked the TB betterer.
You might or might not.
Best try for yourself and make your own mind up.
Did you try a Yelli Screamy too ?
I have a Yelli already. 8)
OOOOOH giz a go mister lol.
How is it ?
[b]AWSUM[/b] 😆
Aye I was told the last to arrive would be the black ones in large - guess what I ordered....
I demoed the bandit and LTa back to back the same day.
The LT felt more agile and a better all rounder than the Bandit which seemed more DH biased at the expense of chuckability and sharpness of steering.

Same as me by the sound of it.
Ssstu....as you've ridden both and have a Yelli Screamy .........which is closest to the Yelli but with rear suspension ??
I really like the geometry and handling of my Yelli so to have that but with rear suspension would be ossum. 😆
Neither of them are like the Yelli...
Their chainstays are too long for that.
Stu- totally off topic but what size is your gryphon?
What made you 'upgrade' from the standard tallboy (albeit now the cracked one) to the LT version
Right from the second ride on my Tallboy i said that it would be an epic all rounder if it was slightly slacker and had a wee bit more travel. I ran mine with 100mm forks for racing mainly but it also coped with general riding, the flegere downhill course in lyrca which seemed to annoy a few people and quite a few hardcore backcountry trips. So when the sc rep here told me the lt was incoming i didn't even think twice. I rode it last night for an hour and half on some wet slippy rocky steep stuff and it is incredible.
In good news SC have also agreed to replace the old TB so I think i will keep that as well !
