Anyone got a Diamond or Spaceframe with truss fork I could take a look at and not a million miles away from south west Brum (DY9)

Zillion thanks

Martin h has a 24″ spaceframe.

He’s down south though i think.

Ta, I’ll try and PM him – anyone else?

land of the giants…….. 😯 😉

so there’s gonna be 2 (maybe 3) in the DY postcode region? Common as muck 😉

*moves from area*

bonesetter is a yam yam? blimey 😯

Well North Worcestershire/Yam Yam boundary like moi

He’ll only be a YamYam if he’s blackcountry. Brummies get very funny about the linguist differences and the incorrect labeling of their speech impedimentregionaldialectsillyaccent. 😉

yes it always makes me chuckle that the posh folk of belbroughton have a dudley postcode

That ones a full custom build though.

Oh and correct me if i’m wrong houns but are you not originaly from Brierley Bonk? 😉

Blimey, i bet it has JJ thinking that DY is the mountain biking mecca of the UK

He has been to visit so sadly knows the truth. 😆

Has he really? I hope he was shown some good riding

He got taken to the peak district…

I’m not sure he’d have liked it up the mezza 😆

there awfish cluthered shippen’s

He he, (Brum born and lived in Jeff Jones famous Yam Yam for 34 years and prefer it :-))

So, all this postcodes and accents talk is giving my thread lots of bumpage, but not that much further on finding a Large JONES

Looks like it’s trying your 23″ Stu 😉

He cor b a Black Country ite and a yam yam surely?

yams am Walsall no?

Are they sized by effective top tube length?

Thought you were finally happy with your current stable of 29ers Nige?

That didn’t last long!!! Still unsure about the custom Strong or is it growing on you?

Yes I have and I’m not a million miles from DY, only about 120. Do you ever come dahn saath?

Is the Jeff Jones owner who’s been riding a fat front-tyred example near Brighton on here? If so that was me sessioning the same patch of woodland singletrack as you, twice in the same week… Nice bike!

cgg – there are a couple of owners in/near Brighton. It could have been Biff from the Outcast, Napalm or a chap in Haywards Heath to name but three :O)

I suppose it’s only to be expected in a town like this… Nichedom!

Hey Martin – I think you may be da guy! Getting dahn would be no bother, cheers

I’m trying to decide right now between a sus fork or rigid, either on a custom ti Vertigo like this one or a Spaceframe Jones – I know tough call eh?

Or just sticking with my steel ‘AM’ Strong as MrTall points out and saving myself an awful of headaches and keeping my wallet intact

Mate you need to think long and hard about what you want.

There’s a vast difference between a truss forked bike and a 120mm travel bike…

Oh I have thought long and very hard – the answer is quite simple:

BOTH 😆

Correct answer. 8)

I think I need a bigger shed

Yep that was me – I’ve been up there a lot recently – mines a 23″ I’ve also been using the normal front tyre this week – two bikes for the price of 4! 😉

I showed some riders around Stanmer last week – i was explaining to them about the truss fork – how stiff it was was and how the bike went where you pointed it, and one of them commented that he was trying to follow me on his hardtail and how the bike just wouldn’t turn as well.
