I got a pair of these a while back but they are a tad to tall for my Dialled Alpine. I was thinking about what frame to put them on. I was thinking about putting them on an old Patriot 66 2006 I have but it could do with a shock upgrade (Anyone know what tune I would need for one of these[url= http://www.bike24.net/p220121.html ] Monach plus's[/url]?
Or looking at that [url= http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/FRTITELGUV2/titus_el_guapo_frame_and_monarch_shock ]El Guapo[/url] but it basically looks like another single pivot and it would be nice to try something new. Second hand or cheap would be my best choice. I currently have a Cannondale Prophet and Dialled Alpine. I could not fault the Alpine. The Prophet is great if a bit sluggish when not pointing down but that is probably due to the heavy wheels I have on it.
El Guapo is a proper 4-bar, I think.
Ive got a white 2011 covert you can have for £750
El Guapo is a four bar link with Horst link chainstay pivot.
I have a mongoose khyber for sale, the same as chris ackrigg rides in this video -
heres a link to an ad i put up http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/fs-mongoose-khyber-160mm-travel-frame-priced-to-sell
swap them with me for some 140mm rs pikes then youl have more choice of frames !! 😀
New frame or would you consider swapping for something shorter?
Ah. I missed the links on the chain stay. I had a Giant AC like that. Do you think it will be as "Sloppy"?
And I got some revs for the Dialled that are nice.
Mine go nicelly with my SX trail. I have a medium SX trail frame for sale as I had to go up a size.
Having owned and prophet, and now an EG, I'd not get an EG if you have a prophet.
It's a great bike, better DH than the prophet (which is ace) but it's only a bit more DH/AM - far too close in intended use. If you had both you'd never choose between them.
If you have the 66, whack 'em on that. Or swap them for something shorter/longer that you can use. If they're in good nick RC3tis I'd maybe swap them for a pair of totems I have (currently spaced to 160 on my EG but a touch overkill!) or perhaps for some maxle rebas I'm currently selling. Probably rather just sell them tho..
I'm running mine on a Blood - someone was selling a frame on here yesterday I think and there's an offer online somewhere too.
The Patriot 66 would be worth a shot seeing as you already have the frame.
