Where's SingleSpeedStu? His bike's certainly the nichest hardtail!

paging singlespeedstu....

sc-xc has some nice, if a little different rigs there....

Another Maxlight here. [img] [/img]

That was after swapping from an all black theme with Bombers xc500, but before my white Rebas fitted. Minutes went to a good home.

Mainly XT with XTR rear, Bonty race light wheels, now with Rebas, Titec post, Charge saddle and waiting for my Thomson stem 🙂

Light and agile bike. Really love it. My girlfriends Cannondale f400 with upgraded Headshok fatty ultra and xt disc brake and rear xt V brake (from deore, lx to xt on hers)

Me.

Me - it's sweet because I built it (with lots of help!) and it rides like a dream 😀

The last warm dry day of our wonderful 2008

That baby-blue/white SCruz is sweet! Who wouldn't like that??

I got one of these babies:

Technically an ex-bike, but probably the best looking hardtail I have owned (and nicer than yours :wink:)

[img] ?v=0[/img]

My Chameleon. I'm beginning to think I should have bought this bike a while ago instead of going through a whole bunch of other "not quite there" bikes...

Looking through the photos I notice a lot of us seem to sit on a SDG Bel Air saddle. I have a cupboard full of barely worn saddles from other brands that I tried before I found the Bel Air. I now have 2 they love my bum and I love them because they let me ride further.

Baby blue Santa Cruz looks really sweet 🙂 I would not want to have one in that colour but I am pretty sure my girlfriend would be sold on one 🙂 When I was loooking for a bike for my other half, some really decent ones were turned down because some colours were not matching. Eventually found that Cannondale she accepted but had to listen for 3 days that the Headshok P-bone with 63mm travel (but matching silver) was better in her opinion than a Fatty Ultra air that weights 1.29kg and has around 80mm of travel, and rebound settings but is black and not silver... That was until she got some proper xc offroad action and felt the difference.

Your black Pace looks great. Wish my Kinesis was as black as Yours Pace 😉

Sadly both are no more after my own personal credit crunch last year.
But the memory lives on.

Mieszko, my santa cruz is even blacker.
Was sold on your gf's 'dale when you first showed me the pics for the minutes, really sweet, simple looking bike.
I know what you mean about women, theyre almost as bad as blokes(;-)) for colour matching.
And the minutes are going well ta.

My current hardtail setup, I like it (especially the Alfine hub 🙂 ) And the rigid fork is really working for me at the moment, I love the direct tactile quality of the ride, plus it teaches you better skills (I think anyhow 🙂 )

heres my sweetheart...

It's cheap & it's nasty but it's hoot to ride...... 🙂

My 2000ish Kona Roast recently rebuilt. A very fun bike.

[img] [/img]

My brothers 456. Only been used a handful of times and a bit too long for my liking needs a straight post and a 70mm stem.

[img] [/img]

Neither are especially saweet but they are the only ons I have photos of.

Not saying it's the best out there but I love my Chromag.

Oh and the frame in the background is a DMR switchback. Didnt love it so gave it to my dad.

Well if the object is to choose the sweetest ht, mine has to be the klein attitude just above, sweet as ****

Yum

I've tweaked this, but not got any recent photos..

Now running a Double & Bash, Flat pedals, shorter stem etc, etc.. oh, and better tyres... 8)

Mine when it was new:

Will1 your Airbourne is so nice. i now have a wish to purchase some silver rims...

Here's a better bike-against-wall photo. The big ring has been replaced by a bashring.

Mmm custom Curtis

Daffys Klien looks great, would you part with it?

Candodavid, I bet that Curtis wheelies well. With that super slack seat tube your arse will be further back than the rear axle when your sitting on the saddle.

2nd the Klien....nice bike

Good idea with the hone cranks davidt. mine are looking quite scruffy.

My 456 Summer Ed. before updates:

[img] [/img]

Last time we did this*, we gave ratings on our faves.

For me:

1. Daffy's Klien - sooo beautiful
2. GF's Chromag - love the colour
3. Mrs Swiftacular's SC - last time I saw it, I thought "yuck", and now I think "mmmm" (except the tyres).

No photos of mine (Soul and 1992 Lavadome).

*On the old forum. RIP.

Clean:

& not so:

[img] [/img]Not new, but its still got class

Swiftacular - cracking Pace set up, bet that flys on the singletrack

Daffy - I HATE you (i dont really,just a little jealous), that quite a collection. The Klein is definitely my kinda rig. stunning......

Having a hard time finding white flat pedals for this.
[img] [/img]
Can anyone recommend any?

pullfaces - is that yours? some would maybe argue that its too much, but i personally think its ****in saweet!

Swiftacular.

That blue Santa Cruz looks great.

And seen as a couple of folks asked here's a selection.

pullfaces, crank brothers do their mallet pedals in white, look the dogs on my friend Ti bike

Stu's bikes are all GHEY. FACT

Too right mate.

Betterer than having a ghey rider on board though. 😉

The Look isn't actually mine but it is exactly what I am after for my next bike. I found the photo whilst doing a search. I didn't think anyone here would like it, in fact I thought it would be hated.
If I 'do' get one it will have Time spd pedals.
Apologies to Tiboy, I had intended irony with flat pedals on such an out and out xc bike.

where can you get white walled conti's from!

That's ok pullfaces, just shows I must have been bored senseless at work to miss the irony really!

Good idea with the hone cranks davidt. mine are looking quite scruffy.

Thanks, used caustic soda to take the anodising off. I could have done the whole cranks but couldnt be bothered removing them so I just did the front face where your foot rubs. The pic makes them look white though

I always like the look of a decently built cotic soul, love my ti456 for the ride quality though, you don't see the bent top tube when you are riding it...

Nice tracey don't know which I prefer. . . . I'm building myself up one of the new EBB chameleons. 8)

Another PA!

Dibbs.

I was looking at one of those built up into a bike at my LBS today.
They do look nice.

Hi stu, I still can't make up my mind whether to SS it or not, I've got a K Force light chainset on order (should be here by the end of the month) and it would be a shame to throw two of the chainrings away. 🙁
