Have been riding my 5 Spot to the detriment of my single speed this year.
The cruddy conditions have seen me back on the ss now though and I hate it.
It’s a Thorn Raven Enduro, with 100mm forks and a relatively long stem. I think it’s a geometry thing, I’ve got used to my 5 Spot, long travel forks and short stem. The Thorn is supposed to be more of a tour/bridle way mile muncher than a singletrack dream machine anyway.
Couple that with me not having replaced a frame or bike for well over a year and I want a change!
Thinking of using a set of Pike I have sitting in the shed, so want a hard tail frame to suit 140mm, be nice if it was ss able without a tensioner but that’s not absolutely critical. I’m 6’2″ so needs to be available in relatively big sizes. Budget of up to £300 for the frame. Those cheap Orange Crush frames appear to be out of stock and I’m not sure what’s best now. Piglet? 456? …..
