Having been off the bike for the past 5 years due to babies being born, Hip op ,etc, etc, etc. I thought it was time to get back out on the bike. Looking around the web and found this site. So saying a quick hello, I don't need to know what tyres for taking the kids to school or what stem for a pub run , I ride an old 2010 hardtail with old skool 26" wheels , still a few bits missing but will be built by Friday. Then off to Haldon for a few weeks to get my body back in shape .

Wilkommen, fellow 'un-hip' person.

What did you have? Mine were bilateral hip arthroscopies to solve FAI issues.
Seems to have worked...

Being fat and riding a 26" hard tail is the new niche. Gone are beards and single speeds. In is fat and 26" wheels.

What happens if you've got a 26" SS hardtail and you're a bearded fatty?

Wait! There's rum?

Excellent!

OP, is your bike grey? If it is, be wary, The Pinkster will start stalking you. He's like that.

Welcome!

Welcome
Some one with a big wheeled bike will be along soon to try and convince you they are the future.
I'm 26"
Not yet convinced 🙂

I'm 26"

Isn't that a little uncomfortable in the trouser department?

Someone will tell you anyway.

26" bloater here too (although I have got one 29er for local rides as there's nothing to bend the wheels on round here).

My small apology of an ironic joke seems to have passed you by CFH

Oops.

But, look at Binners there, doesn't that make it all worthwhile?
