Your garden is a disgrace!

Nice bike mister! 'ow many gears it got then, eh? 😉

Looks a lovely new dandyhorse! Where's the weekend ride?

Some of the gears will be removed very soon. 😛

Where's the weekend ride?

That's where the ardents came from!

Very nice.

That better not be MY one I ordered in April!

They're like bus's.
I waited two months for it then when i went to collect it there were three of them there. 🙂

Ew.......that looks gash ... 😉

Bastid......I NOT jealous at all 😡

Enjoy 8)

Looks great Stu. Very jealous. I was all booked for a test ride on the Large demo Tallboy LT you tested (was due to take it out last weekend) sadly some scrotes nicked the whole fleet santa cruz had 🙁 No test bikes available for a while now. So big wheel dream bike is on hold...

Nice new ride, let us know how the maiden voyage goes 😀

anthonyb - it may well be to far away but one-planet at llandegla have a large demo bike. I rode it there last night and was VERY impressed (and i generally dont like 29ers).

let us know how the maiden voyage goes

Very nice. Loving your work.

This is the second or third time I've seen "singlespeedstu" post his new geared bike....

There's room in my garage for bikes of any flavour. 8)
(Though generaly i'll pick a monocoger out of the pile.)

I was about to say, some bastard has sneaked a cassette in the boot of a lovely SS bike 😉

I saw the title and leapt in expecting a dildo...I was pleasantly surprised

Cheers for the info V10!

im based in derby, so not too far for a day trip! il be giving One Planet a call! Glad to hear positive feedback on your test ride.

Is that the "photoshoot" tree??

Looks nice mind, (the bike)

The tree's a niche organic freerange bike stand that was built in the woods. 😉

Damn that's nice

Phew, turns out it's not my one. It is in my grubby mitt now 🙂

First ride tonight. It's okay I s'pose.

I think my brain needs slight recalibration to cope with the speed though.

Good ain't they. 😀

Not so much good as totally most excellent 🙂

It's almost like cheating. 8)

Lets see some pics of your build then. 😀

Rode my 2 month old Tallboy C round The Beast trail at Coed-Y-Brenin for the first time yesterday, you're right, it almost felt like cheating at times, kept having to wait for my mates 😆

In it's element at above Loch Torridon yesterday.

I've got it 1X10 XT/ SLX
SLX brakes with 205mm hope rotor on front
Reverb
Float 34
Stans Flow on Hope front/ SS trizoid rear

The fork is ridiculously good on the long rocky section I was riding testerday. Plush, not divey, stiff, planted.
The bike just makes you want to go fast, everywhere.

Crikey that's a bit mainstream! Perhaps uber niche is last year...

Nice though.

Nice. Approximately what do they weigh? What do you reckon the weight premium is for a 29er over a 26er?

mine says just over 30lbs on my cheap n nasty scales

frame is very light so weight premium over a 26er is purely rims and tyres so 55g on a flow rim and tyres 100g ish?

Crikey that's a bit mainstream

Oh don't worry there's plenty of bikes made in sheds keeping it company in the garage. 😀

See the thing is now some of the mainstream manufacturers are making what i want i don't [b]have to[/b] buy from nicheists in sheds.
Though I still do.
All bikes.
All good. 8)

Hows everyone enjoying there LTc's so far, and more ride reports/ opinions

Mine's getting plenty of miles under it's wheels.

I'm loving the way this thing rides.
Quite odd that a bike that descends so well can also climb as well as it does.

Great pics Stu, thanks for the info, glad your enjoying it. 😀
