Lusting after a bike from a brand i swore never to buy from.

keep finding myself looking at a new bike from a certain brand I swore I would never buy from.

I fear I will need a huge jug of custard and a large spoon if I commit.

😀

Orange ? 🙂

Spill the beans Ton 🙂

Surly.

Is it one of them reviewed over there >>>>

Specialized or Trek, perhaps. That Camber Carbon Evo looks tasty…

allthepies has it.

please talk me out of it.

It’s better to regret something you have done, than something you haven’t done.

That’s what I told myself when I ordered my Evil.

please talk me out of it.

Ok. It’s ugly, heavy and it’ll ride like a donkey. It’s also too expensive for what it is.

Buy a Canyon or a YT

Looks fantasstic, better get one before its discontinued

It’s heavy and those tyres are crap, but I bet it will make you happy. So, why not?

It’s nearly as pretty as you ton 😯

The bike’s a minger, but who gives a fig so long as you enjoy riding it.

i fancied a big robust 29er, it caught my eye.

anything else worth looking at?

Tony have a word with yourself!

Bleurrrrrgh!!

Dont do it.
It would be like waking up next to a really fat ugly minger the morning after..
Every single time you took it out for a ride. Plus people will point, laugh and stare.

2 Souls Quarterhorse – big and robust and steel!

Nothing good will come of this. Repent!

Crap heavy wheels, crap fork, crap raceface cranks, crap Conti tyres. Plenty of better value bikes out there that won’t need half the parts replaced.

it is pretty minging in’t it?
like the look of the quaterhorse, or the niner steel long travel thing.

Orange? Its the Honda oldmans bike of the biking world.

Honda – yep

Wanna make something of it sunshine?

Hey hey gramps I’ll just leave the Worthers on the sideboard to distract you.

Right that’s it. I’ll see you outside Stretford Ma……

Ooh look, sweeties…..

2 Souls Quarterhorse – big and robust and steel!

+1!

I may be slightly biased tho…..

😀

On-one Codeine 29er Big Burly fun fast what more could you want, try getting a ride on one you wont regret it

Lovely.

(The Quarter horse is nice too)

That’s an ugly bastard (the orange).
Much as I hate to admit it, the Spesh Enduro is probably the best “big” 29er.

Salsa horsethief. Big n bombproof.

Expensive, old fashioned, will clang and rattle like an old tiling cabinet, and your not Welsh, or a sponsored rail builder – try the on one, the quarter horse, the Santa Cruz etc etc

The spesh enduro is quite a lot of travel, the camber evo is probably more equivalent to the five (and better).

And why the ****, when he is looking at a full suss are some recommending a hardtail?

My riding bud has just got a Capra, gorgeous in a gaudy sort of way and muchos bike for the money.

Serious question, what is wrong with the Trail Kings?

Do what you like no humble our needed

But you may have to stop posting about how your bike lust,n+1, bling days are over

Serious question, what is wrong with the Trail Kings?

They are the cheap plastic ones

Ahh thankyou MSP, the none German ones

Couldn’t you just buy a 5 year old one and have it painted? Have they changed the design in any meaningful way since Mosses crossed the Red Sea on one?

Gotta laugh at a camber being better than a five lol. A five is like a fat girl who gives the best bj you’ll ever have. nuf said.

I’m biased but

Don’t think the new transitions look as good but I would say that

amptill……..this was a cry for help 😉
