Nice, how are you finding the shorter chain stays compared to the usual 29er's you've had ? Mate of mine has one and loves it 😀

Q/R forks though 😯

bb7 disc brakes........has powerfull as any hydo set up, if fitted right.

short chain stays seem ok, makes it pretty loftable at the front.

qr forks because the only bolt thru ones worth buy are not available (reba 120mm maxle).

lawn............mrs's job innit.... 😉

very nice, but you appear to have some strange arm doohickey dangling from the back of the frame and extra cogs............would those be these newfangled gear things I've been hearing about?

Looks nice, but given that you regularly post bike pictures on here I'd have expected more effort to go into that lawn 😆

I like it.

Where did you get the Manitou Drakes? I'm looking to swap my Carbon On Ones for some suspension on my SS but there seems to be a real lack of 29er forks in this country at the .moment. Do you rate them, i always shy away from Manitou for some reason despite never having owned a pair. CRC have the 100mm version due in next week and at £260 i was thinking they might be worth a punt?

You need to get yourself a 31er.

Proper niche.

I suppose imitation is the most sincere etc - but I'm not surprised after all this time.
