Travers Russ Ti – thoughts – Page 2 – Bike Forum

Aus · 2017-03-06T11:19:08Z

Hi, maybe a mid-life crisis but keen to update to the modern world and get a new bike. The Stanton Sherpa (or poss Switchback) has caught my eye esp as described as playful which might suit my Kentish singletrack, twisty quick (as in shortish!) rides. Def like titanium. Thinking 27.5 would suit me better for my riding and keen to keep weight down. But the Russ Ti looks very nice too - anyone tried it? How would you described the ride? Any other thoughts good or bad? Thanks

That info about the only difference between the 27 and 29 being the chainsays is useful. If that is correct then I might as well go for the 29 and have two sets of wheels. That way I could run 27+/29/29+

Cheers.

2unfit2ride - what size is the Pegasus? And how much would you want for it?

Thanks for your response. How do you find the 29+? Do you know how heavy it is?

Also thanks to others for your responses.

Done over 5200 miles on it and never once worried about it's weight.
It's not svelte but it's not heavy enough to stress about.

I don't have the RussTi, but ride the Travers Fat Race. It's the most enjoyable all round offroad bike I have and no other bike I've had turns so many heads or gets such compliments about the build quality, design and materials. The service and advice from Michael Travers has been second to none.Here are a few shots of it after it was built. The pedals are by Sickworks.
