Show me your SS 29er's

Belt drive Lefty Qoroz.

How’s the belt drive working out Graham?

It’s going well.
I found it’s limits at SITS, the mixture of mud and grass getting wedged between the belt and pulley eventually broke the belt, although Gates have promised me a free replacement.
In normal mud and sand, it’s brilliant.

Curtis is 853 front triangle and headtube with 725 stays, Phil Wood ebb, built as a first by Brian Curtis, polished and laquered finish.
Would you like some close ups?

Would you like some close ups?

– i can hear the moustaches twitching excitedly from here!

Here is my £250’s worth:

That curtis looks lovely. It could even tempt me away from my singular. 😐

Lovely 😀

Moustache thoroughly twitched…

Cracking looking frame.

What are the bars?

bars look like these

Yep, custom Seven cycles with 17 deg sweep, arrived after 5 days

WOW! 🙂

that Curtis is truly lovely.

Just seems right somehow.

Out of curiosity, what’s it weigh?

(runs off to check finances)

21.7lb, 23.75″ t/t 17″ Seat tube, 70.4 Head angle.
If your ever down Somerset way give me a shout

Wow, that curtis is stunning!

Qwerty, how do you find the vitus? Seems to be the perfect no nonsense commuter/pub/messing about bike on a budget.

Hmmm I was eyeing those bars earlier. Candodavid would be interested in seeing them in the flesh some time.

Where are you based/

Candodavid am in Reading but ride the Quantocks now and again :D. Oh and mine;

Sadly gone (wish I never sold those Phil wheels)

Current

I play with gears now and then but I seem to always end up back to SS.

This thread really makes me want another Singular.

🙁

amva – ticks all those boxes

That Curtis is lovely, but I’m still leaning towards the Singulars. They just look ‘right’.

I like the idea of being able to run gears too. I think I love my P7 too much to change to a 29er though… but maybe if Orange did a P7 29er…

That Curtis – yum. The welds are something else!

What’s the grey/silver Singular? That looks lovely too..

Rich

Rich – my guess is that it’s the ti Pegasus. A Swift but in ti!

Curtis has a mech hanger, please note its brazed, not welded…pah

Another Swift

I’m a firm believer in a man should never stroke another man’s rhubarb but that Curtis is beautiful.

@ssboggy – Nice!

I really love this bike! As it was as a S/S!

Kona Raijin. First foray into the land of 29ers, not had the chance to get out on it proper yet but should be off to Glentress on Saturday 😀

That Kona is massive, i’d need a box to stand on to get on it.

Here’s my Retrotec on an interesting and lengthy winter commute.

First mountain bike, bought off here. Well used, well loved. I trashed the freewheel pawls yesterday, so SS must be strengthening the legs 😆

Here’s one of mine.

Slight hijack, but I’d love to know how many of you are using these as your only (mountain) bike – or have you also got a fully geared 26″ full suss in the shed? There are some very temptingly beautiful bikes in this thread, but sadly I fear it would have to be an ‘instead of’ rather than ‘also’ for me to justify one…

Mine is my only mountain bike.

I have a 26″ SS with font boing, the XC9, and a Nicolai Helius CC, and a road bike.
The most ridden is the XC9, mendip, quantock, anywhere really.
Helius is mainly for big days out, where suspension makes it just a bit more daft.

All my bikes are singlespeed and big wheeled. from my light and racy to big days out in the mountains, chunky and boingy fronted. I may add a gearie back into the collection (1×10) for a something like a transition bandit 29er or niner WFO for alpine hols, but that’s it.
