I've had / have quite a few SS, love my Inbred, love my Karate Monkey, love my Pugsley, all the others have been and gone, see if you can try a few....
Oh and I didn't like the Charge, it felt wooden compared to the On One, etc, but horses for courses......
Where's Sam's Swift offer? Details?
Sam, from page 1:
Can build you a Swift for around £1000.
My Swift has been a SS and geared. It is currently geared and, as always, rigid.
My 'Go to' bike, I have ridden it (predominantly offroad) for just under 4,000 miles in the last 18 months. I reckon my total mileage on it must be nearer 5,500. It still surprises me and frequently puts a smile on my face.
The paint is a bit messed up in places but I just love it to bits.
Thought about a new one so I could get 2.4s in the back and SS the oldie but I'm worried it won't ride the same.
Anyway, thoroughly recommended.
I had a rigid Kona Unit 29er. It was my first proper MTB and I loved it.
Replaced with a Genesis ioid HT running SS with Hope Hoops. I don't miss the larger wheels, but would think twice about going back to rigid. I do, however prefer frames with a sliding dropout because rear wheel removal is soooo much faster.
£1000 ? pfft.
Buy my Dawes Edge One, the first widely available SS MTB. It's a V-braked disaster but yours for £130!
Buy a Voodoo Bizango and take the gears off. Job done.
My Curtis S1 so I have cash for an Rc129 when one pops up cheap.
HughStew - MemberOh bugger. I had just about decided on a Charge Cooker SS, the only worry being the ability to put anything over 2.2" tyres on it.
I ran a 2.4" on the back of my Cooker, and a 3" Surly Knard on the front, both on whopping 50mm rims. I'm not sure who told you the Cooker has a 2.2" limit but they're very wrong.
