gnar lite xc raddish

just need to ride the damn thing next year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great thread and some great bikes

Admittedly needs some bigger (longer, though not wider than these cartoon scaffold poles currently on it) to be proper LT, but does do the gnarrr bit pretty well.

slainte 😀 rob

My Evil Sovereign

Another BFe

Looks to be a tiny frame – what is it?

It’s a 14″ Kona Five-O – designed around 140mm forks (complete bike comes with Marz 55s) but rides great with the Lyriks up front (130mm for most stuff and wound out to 140-50 for d/h 😛 ). Rear end is pretty long making it super-stable on the downs.

Hmm those sovereigns look good.

Would somebody mind helping me download pic? Didn’t find the instructions on forum rules to clear. Thanks ❓

Heres mine

Posted this pic before but haven’t got round to uploading any new ones yet

I like that 🙂 What is it?

Here is my newly built LT HT

Another Mmmbop – more trail than gnnnnaarrr…

@ _tom_

it started out as a gary fisher mullet frame i bought off the classifieds.

Dont want to take this off topic so here is a linky for you
http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/nearly-finished-my-new-bike-build-pics

Hunterst, that Mullet scrubed up nicely. How much did they charge you for the powder coat?

That mullet is my fav bike of the thread so far. Really nice job you have done there.

I haven’t posted my Kona as although it is steel, has a slack head angle and 180 rotors I am guessing the mere 120mm up front would rule it out! 😥

@ craigxxl – i think it was £60 all in

@ normal man – thanks very much 🙂 – there are some great bikes on here, so that is high praise indeed.

Another mmmbop here great bike but hardly been used hence its now for sale!

MKI 15.5″ Alpine.

wooop-wooo!

Alpin – The purple and gold looks really cool.

Northcountryboy – Wow, a nice-looking Ragley!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…..

Alpin’s bike looks ace!!!

Just got a bfe but am now considering a Sov they look great!

Why not consider an Alpine? they “look” similar 🙄

GW you are clearly blind The evil looks much better! Ha ha!
Tell me why do you have such an issue with people liking the aesthetic of a product? Bet you’ve boffed some right pigs “she has a lovely personality” 😉

This thread (and every other LT hardtail thread) pretty conclusively proves not one LT hardtail has good aesthetics so no issue there ;).
no issue with idiots who buy bikes purely on current fashion, they’re generally harmless simpletons.

and to answer your personal attack. Yes, out of the many hundreds, a very small percentage (maybe 2%) were less than stunning! I have no idea about their personalities other than “easy” going 😉

GW +1

Come come GW that was merely a little leg pull not an attack! Tell me sir what bike do YOU ride?

Which one?

haven’t got it yet, but i’ll hopefully be getting a Brodie Ti HoleShot in the spring. That is a pretty thing.

the black raggers at the top looks great 🙂

All of course….

**** that!

SHW why don’t you post a pic of one of your magical bikes. Oh yes, that is right, you don’t because people would rip the piss out of them.
