Big thumbs up to Charlie the Bikemonger for importing this! It may have big wheels and be a bit fugly, but I now understand all the fuss about slack angles and short stays 8)

Looking good. 8)

That looks like a lot of fun. Not especially ugly either.

very nice indeedy, i am very envious…….. 8)

Really nice, i’ve got a real hankering for one of these with bombers. Big bikes look much nicer in 29er, wheels suit the frame size. Are you coming off another 29er or was the previous bike 26?

Currently have both XC & FS 29ers and have owned/ridden at least 10 others 😳

that looks lovely

CTBM and I got lucky with the very last large semi polished frame, hopefully it will arrive in good shape some time in Jan and then I can start fretting about what to build it up with. First time I have had any dealing with CTBM and the Canfield guys and they were both a joy to work with. Happy Christmas indeed 😀

Mmmmm want. You tweedloving 2012?

Stock is low and getting lower all the time, next delivery is scheduled for May some don’t hang around!
