I rather like the look of this

(The bike, not Mr Ed.)

That’s an optical illusion – the bike and the beard are real-size but Ed is very far away

Looks fun.

looks good I hope they keep the price down could be very interested if it’s a budget so-guano.

Are they the same bikes.. Rocket ?

no, 2nd one is a Growler

If I’m honest there are only a few bikes that jump out at me and make me say want.

This is one of them.

Looks great but needs a set up pic.

Where do I express interest? 8)

I prefer Ed. 😉

That does look good. Any more info? I can’t sam to get onto the on One site at the moment.

Ooft, I like that a lot.

It just looks right, doesn’t it? Purposeful. It’s the first FS 29er that’s got my juices flowing.

Must not buy anymore bikes.

Must……..

Saw it a few days ago, it looks lovely. Simple lines and the shock is in a position that makes sense.

If they throw in a free beard with every order they´ll have a winner.

I have already ordered forks 😀

Called a “growler”?

That coud be fun explaining that one away…”I’m going to go and ride my growler” for example.

So this no new bikes going well then Shaggy?

made me laugh the names.
Are they all named after drugs?

It’s a bit sort of… bendy. But only at one end, the other end’s all a bit straighty. Either works but if you put the two together you’re starting on a dangerous sliding slope that leads you to making bikes that look like Ellsworths.

Is that the Truth Northwind?

Certainly looks pretty special!

I’m still quite a fan of the el guapo 29er..

Wondering how different they are to ride? Shed any light Shaggy??

I’d ride that….and I would’nt mind having a go on the bike as well.
Make it looong Brant and I’ll pre order one now 😀

I was thinking it was more Daring tbh. Though this one’s sort of triangle-pretzel rather than square-blob.

Now someone’s summoned Brant I can ask how much discount I get for starting this thread. 😆

You’ve got to say his name 3 times and draw a pentagram with a teabag.

I look forward to the reviews;
“It really feels like you’re in the growler”

Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaant!!!

Tell us when we can get one and amaze us with how cheap it’s going to be. Please.

THe Growler was off about 5 or 10 years ago, wasn’t it?

Growler was from about 2007. Not a current frame in case any were wondering.

EDIT – beaten by seconds by paulosoxo!

Ahh brings back memories of my youth.I hav’nt seen a growler up close for years.

Looks nice. Looks like it should be pointed down a hill….

The forks on that pic look really spindly though…

Why let that spoil a good thread. I’m sure that Brant will be chuffed that everyone wants to buy a Growler 🙂

Married? IGMC.

don’t understand bike in picture.. Guapo29 isn’t even out yet, isn’t this pretty similar? or no?

128mm rear travel with 440mm chainstays, 67deg head angle, 35mm BB drop. It’s a fun little number

ok so i don’t know much about bikes, what’s it for? other than having fun 🙂

But you have already got one…. 😉

❓

May have thought that one had arrived at your house 😳

Does it have this in it?
Edit: prototype frame pic deleted to stay on Brant’s good side

Izzit me, or does it have a distinct similarity to the original Nukeproof Mega (I realise they have the same designer, but that rear triangle looks like it’s come straight off a Nukeproof. Come to think of it, the front triangle doesn’t look very different either………)

Edit: and the bottom bracket arrangement is exactly the same, as far as I can see.

/\ he’s not wrong ,especially if you squint hard at the bb/main pivot area (which in turn is’nt too dissimilar to an old turner).No bad thing in my book as long as it does’nt share the mega’s soopa steep seat angle.
