Rigid won’t die? Show us yours!

Sonder Signal Ti. Just popped the rigid fork on

Sonder

Seven, planned to be a relatively cheap build. Didn’t work out that way, but absolutely sublime to ride.

First ride of this ‘new to me’ beauty this morning 🙂 Loving it.

Oooo, that’s gert lush. Shand is definitely on my “would not be disappointed to own” list of bike brands.

What are the bars?

According to the sellers advert they are Salsa Bend2, the more swept 23 degree version. They seem ok although will give it a few more rides to decide if I like them.

Apparently they bend forward and then sweep back so you don’t need a longer stem to keep the grips in the same place.

Dare I say it, they look a bit ‘budget’ compared to the rest of the finishing kit the previous owner used, but I have redressed the balance by adding a cheap dropper post 🙂

Even bendier bars than mine 🙂

Your chainsaw sticker lies! Lol

Lovely bike mate, great colour too.

@poopscoop One speed – low, many gears 😉

My rigid soloist getting muddy on Christmas Day

My filling loosening ’94 Cannondale killer v

I need to pull my finger out and get my El Mariachi built!!

I remember buying one of these Canondale Killer V. First time I ever handed over a cheque knowing it wouldn’t bounce.
Awesome days

raw and brazed, one off stooge mk4. Singlespeeders really should be allowed near technology, so many attempts to post a sodding photo 🙂

How is it running ss taz?

its going really well Mr Clink, I’ts not the quickest up long draggy stuff, because its a big old beast on plus rubber, but it does mosh up steep and loose very well, however the huge junker bars and stonking traction means the only excuse I have is not being strong enough as the bugger just keeps traction and will get to the top as long as my chubby little legs can turn the crank over!

32:20 seems about right so far

Ta. Tempted to go ss again, but couple of bike-packing trips first (custom frame bag on the way!)

Love the Mk4 stooge

Finally got mine built and first ride since turning 40… In September.

This ride curtailed 10 mins after pic by a front puncture. In my haste to get out for a quick ride I failed to take a spare tube or inflator.

Built from the ‘spares bin’ and a 4 quid BB from CRC.

My Squooge

El Mariachi

I’ve had this bike for 4+ plus years – bought it as a cheap runaround. I’ve had soo many other bikes come and go during the time I’ve had it but nothing comes close to this £400 belter 🙂

Rides very nice , first rigid mtb so nice trying something different. Comfy to spend time on , which I’m hoping to do more of , used for getting to work everyday also. Thinking of experimenting with drops at some point it is sold in both formats complete so it should work

Pic fail 🙁

Is nothing there at all or just link no pic? Used imgbb and the ‘bbcode full linked’ option

My most ridden bike, Mk1 Longitude

I have a charge cooker with rigid surley forks I have never managed to build up in the classifieds if anyone is interested. Was £200 as seen but now without a front wheel for £150 in Brighton.

If not has anyone built up a 29er to use with drops as a gravel/adventure bike, does it ride okay?

Oh yes. I forgot I could join this gang now. 😀

Have you ever been in a Royal Navy recruitment ad? 🙂

Another MK1 Longitude.
