Shand. Just look at it.
Want that.
But maybe the belt-drive S/S
Interesting to see the Fat Chance has a reach of 425mm in XL!
Are we about to see frames getting shorter again I wonder.
Posted this in that other thread – its just too good to miss…high levels of want.
That is lovely. Not sure how you would get hold of it though!
high levels of want
Pah. Zero taste in the colour scheme. Also looks a bit steep for a 120mm fork IMO. But ok for rigid.
IMO rigid bikes used for 'adventure' riding benefit from steeper angles. I think that's why I like my El Mar so much, 70.5 degree HA.
The Shand looks so good in that colour I may respray my El Mar in that colour after it gets its chainstay fixed.

Ah, I think Sir is looking for one of these....
way more fun that I ever imagined it would be. It's the bike I use for pretty much everything unless I know I'm going a long way or there is some particularly steep climbs. It's put a lot of the fun back into riding but in reality any change is going to do that.
Love just about every Shannd I've ever seen but hate the carbon fork on those ones, just looks wrong to my eyes.

Agreed!
kink in the down tube just looks plain wrong too.

Heretic. Thats the iconic heritage colour scheme from when they were the hottest thing on the market, many many moons ago. The original is often regarded as one of the most sorted handling bikes ever made relative to its era. Wanted it then - still want it now.
Colour fades are an aquired taste for sure, one I happen to like...from the same era as the similar vertical iconic Klein Attitude/ Adroit colour fades and also Klein's left/right differential fades which are some of the best paint schemes I've ever layer eyes on in the flesh, so lush.
Definitely a classic xc geometry rather than trying to be a modern L.L.S. - they do ship direct from the US. but the plastic would get spanked hard.
