Last Fastforward slack 29er hardtail

I’ve not ridden a hardtail in years. But this makes me want one. Only £280ish on kickstarter.

LAST Bikes Hardtail Prototype Review

Wow!

Makes my Evil Following look almost upright by comparison! Should be a riot though I’d happily take a slightly more conservative 66deg HA designed round a 120mm fork myself, and a correspondingly shorter wheelbase.

I like the look of this, a lot – but how slack can you go, without it being a pig?

Oh my. I need one of those! Ive been saying a Slack 29er would be good for taller riders for a while!
Slack enough to be a Single speed DHy hardtail!

Need to build an offset rear wheel though?

Got one on order. Will just re-dish the wheel I have.

Had the same question: Building an offset wheel shouldn’t be a problem, at least according to this thread.

I’d be all over that if it had normal dropouts

That looks ace…I really like that.

Slack hardtails are brillinat – I love my Switchback which is similarly slack.

Dunno but that’s the same question people asked when the first Ragleys were coming out and it turned out they handled brilliantly.
