Interesting how few of these have gears.
I built my Curtis up to be the polar opposite of my (slack, 1x9'd, wide bars, Reverb'd, big tyre'd gnar machine) Five. There was a time when I had a bouncer and a hardtail built up very similar and as a result, 99% of the time took the comfier, faster bouncer.
Having the Curtis makes trails interesting again after I might have got bored of them riding the Five.
This is shaping up to be my favourite "show me your" thread, lovely bikes... Here's mine.

Although I've got a 29er as well, there is something really aesthetically pleasing about a rigid 26er.
Really love the IF's and the Kona's.

Are those White Ind cranks on the IF?
Kiwijohn what's that springy thing?
It's a Hite Rite.
Basically a dropper post from the 80's.
I thought everyone new what a Hite Rite was.....
I must be getting old!!! ๐ณ

Any issues with it? Looks simple and cheap, well cheaper than modern droppers
dufresneorama - MemberAny issues with it?
Well Joe Breeze uses a gravity dropper not a hiterite ๐ I think mine was a knock-off to be fair, not entirely sure, but it was pretty much completely useless. Fiddly to use and didn't reliably go back up to the right height (though, I think that was partly down to the seatpost/seattube being a bit rough)
Clever idea though.
It used to sort of work with an alloy post. Now it just stops the Syncros carbon post getting nicked easily.
My scruffy effort:

Made of my old Orange O2 and things found.
EDIT - Now why doesn't that Flikr piccy work?
