    As per title…I converted to 29er HT at the start of the year and I have a 26er HT that won’t ever be ridden again that will be morphing into a cheap-ish 1×9 rigid 29er build over the next couple of weeks.

    Idea’s and inspiration required please guys 😀

    Cheers.

    I’m going through the same process by the way but have settled on a Singular Swift – just trying to get the cash together :o)

    This is my Unit and its been great, I do fancy a change though and shortlisted are the Cotic Solaris or a Chinese carbon job.

    If Angus Young and Animal off the Muppet Show could be distilled into one bike =

    Ok not the cheapest option, but honestly, if fun and handling are in the VFM equation it’s well worth the £.

    Fenred,

    Nice to here from you!

    I would keep an eye out for a nice Scandal frame to start your project.

    here is my Scandal again! 😉

    This bike weighs nothing compared to my full bouncer and flies up hills. The 1 x 10 set up works brilliantly and the full rigid makes the rocky, off road stuff interesting.

    Here it is at 1500 feet!

    bish – Loving that monkey!

    tk – How you doing mate? Scandal was on the shopping list but bought khani’s GF x-cal frame (even lighter) to kick the project off. Just waiting on delivery of exotic carbon forks to get things rolling….Should be a nice light build! V inspired by your “that blue” scandal tho 8)

    tazzy – They are all just mental :mrgreen:

    Greedy? and bikes? does not compute? 🙂

    I would say, if money allows, you should have a new bike regularly!

    I don’t need another bike. Do I?

    Cheap as chips here though…

    Is that a Nimble9 Clink ?

    My SIR.9…

    It’s predecessor in different guises…

    IMAG0200 by pten2106, on Flickr

    In a way I really miss the Inbred, for what it cost it was a fab bike. The Niner is nice though. Very light & so comfy. Did Cannocks Monkey Trail on it tonight, clearly not the right tool for it, but held its own. 🙂
