Is nice..

So many good looking hardtails! Makes me want to complete my Slackline build sooner than I can!

Thanks RealMan, I could not get the thing to work.

Loving this thread! Especially the ti and the R8s.

Here’s my old one – sadly stolen last year 😥 but I’m planning to replace it as soon as bump number two is bubba number and I can ride again! 😀

…Tempted to get exactly the same (though more trail orientated as I won’t be racing anytime soon), open to suggestions though! Main challenge is finding one small enough! 🙄

trickydisco – I like that a lot. What is it? It looks very much like on of the old Ti Rock Lobsters from about 10 years ago.

Voodoo Djab .. I absolutely love it. Can run singlespeed or geared. Use it for racing or put big fat minion on the front and it handles anything.

My 456

My Chameleon

A couple from the stable

Soul – Unchanged from pic

D Jab – now with Reba Team forks & teeny 140mm rotor

Clark Kent – Now with proper tyres

Good to see another Chameleon on here! Great thread!

In the words of Jeremy Clarkson ‘Ive had a crisis’- theres some nice titanium loveliness going on, and the Orange R8 is going to be a future bike for me i think…

Clark Kent – Now with proper tyres

A Clark Kent? Most awesome bike name ever?

Juliet, have you seen the new version? You could lose yourself in that blue 😛

Here’s my new hardtail . . . (im)patiently waiting for my headset to arrive . . . fingers crossed for tomorrow, eh 😕

Great thread – not many short seatposts here !!

15.5″ Prince Albert – my 4th! Kept selling them then regretting it.

This one has already been owned by multiple STW’ers.

Its just ‘lovely’.

My new steed,

A little unusual for STW, 21″ of carbon fibre hardtail lovelyness.

Haze …likin that Cotic simple.. 8)

Juliet, have you seen the new version? You could lose yourself in that blue

Indeed I have! Mike thinks it looks nicer in the blue, but I feel strangely nostalgic towards the green! (Even though I didn’t like it when I ordered it!)

What do you reckon? Blue or something entirely different?! When it comes to tiny bikes, you must be the ultimate authority! 😀

Oh and that kona must be one of the tiniest frame I’ve ever seen! Very shiny too! Enjoy! 🙂

Ah nice, it’s simple without being too ‘retro’ I really like it!

Without a shadow of doubt!

Very spangly is that Clark Kent. Its a thing of beauty!

j40aja that is a nice bike. Im tall, however you my friend must be TALL. a 21″ with a seatpost that high?! 🙂

trying for the first time to upload a pic…

Here’s mine at xmas shortly after it was built up…

It’s since grown some Manintou Minutes, flat bars, formula ones and a thudbuster…

Arrrrgh, I have no idea what to do – keep the Uzzi and send the tiny Kona back (but it’s lovely 😛 ) or sell the Uzzi and go hardtail again. I love the Uzzi to bits but I’d love to do a few xc enduros before I get too old 😕 , hence the Kona purchase. But now I can’t bring myself to sell ‘Elizabeth’ 😳 . Damn indecision!! 👿 I’m gonna give up looking at bike stuff (or at least hide the visa card before I start).

In answer to your question though, your little Kinesis was so light and nippy I’d go for another one the same . . . or maybe in blue 😉

I’m gonna leave this thread now . . . I’m not coming back . . . no really . . . I will race the FOD Enduro on the Uzzi . . . I may not place but I can guarantee I’ll have the biggest smile at the end 😀

Yes indeed, 6’4″ but have the post up for road and canal stuff then down when a little for the trail centres.
Changed most of my stuff over from a Mongoose Meteore Elite which was a 22″ frame.

Yet to see another BeOne Pro Raw on my travels, will be going 2x 10 XT and tubeless soon which should see it below 20lbs (high 20lb as is).

I got it rollin’ at last 🙂

Cheers for the comments re the Clark Kent 😳

It is truely a thing of retro beauty from 1994/5 with a cool brand name to boot 😉

More info about the company here Comapny made some quality kit but got their figures massively wrong.

I’m pretty sure this is the only steel framed version of their Ti bike in Europe.

More about my bike over on Retrobike for those that are interested.

Top tube has the builders name, LH chainstay has the painters name 8)

made up from some quite old bits and some quite new bits.
