[Closed] yesterday I built and rode a 26er FS bike

Moral slag

And?

What's the matter with that?

Not niche enough for you?

😐

Thats nearly niche on here these days. 🙄

but did you like it and has it cured you of your silly big wheel niche ways?

Shhhh ... or all the noobs will be trying one.. 🙄

In steel?

no 😐

the 26er does ride downhill great though, i guess i need a 29er FS 🙂

I feel I ought to confess at this point - I've never, ever ridden a FS bike. Not even borrowed / demo'd one. I have suspension forks on one of my bikes, but I've not ridden it since last July, and I'm finding the ideas in this thread a bit of a challenge to be honest ... So much so I think I'll need sit down with a nice cup of tea to help settle me down a bit.

The beard is quite niche though 🙂

talking of tea, this was my reward today
