my genesis io and my altitude ti

My latest project, just about finished. Built using as many yorkshire, lancashire and uk made/designed bits as possible.

Now fully equiped with mud tyres and mud!

My winter ride:

…which was a rebuild of this when I realised I wasn't 'core' enough to really benefit from its beefy frame:

Some nice, and some truly hideous bikes.

Faves so far, 1st Soul, the Endofin and the Chumba

I really like 19s. Then the Souls, then the Sanderson.

Those sandersons are nice. That grey primer is on the list of possible respray colours for this, whenever I get it done, along with poo brown, the apple green that Orange are using at the moment, and a dark metallic grey.

Still not got the hang of this photo lark.

there you go

Hopefully this worked. I still need to shorten and re-route the hoses, and cut the steerer (way too many spacers on atm) otherwise it's finished.

Any excuse…

Still No good with pics.

So many 'premium' brand hardtails in this thread

Right, my collection of cheap tat (fugly) hardtails:
If only I could include the FS to raise the (low) standard

Still thinking of swapping the frame for narrow tubed steel something

A 'play' bike. Frame bought with 72% off, most* bits were lying around going spare
*except grips and BB. Since bought new stem and bars
And yes, I know the colour scheme is far from pretty

Bought secondhand for commuting with steps/curbs in mind with 80psi narrow slicks. Now does occasional lighter/shorter offroad rides
Thinking of respraying, though don't know whether I'd be better off putting money toward a nice steel frame instead
Currently undergoing 'transformation' to 1×7. Can't decide whether to use a 7spd gripshifter lying about, or an 8spd trigger shifter and bodging it

How long have you got…. From first to last

H'mm that's quite a lot in about 10 years. Still have the DMR, Kilaueu and the Cove. Only thing I really shouldn't have sold was the Switchback. Had a lot of fun on that bike.

my GFs, built for under £350 8)
(she just asked me to put it in here…)

so (some of) mine are below…

my kula 29 rohloff race bike (i say race, i mean pootle around race courses 😐 )

my Io – REALLY wish i still had this – my biggest bike selling regret. cheap, cheerful and a right pieve of good old fun… 😥

my old soma juice – ugly as sin, but a great ride – again, sad to have got rid…

my old mint sauce inbred 29 – got me into 29ers, fab bike…

my marin pine mountain touring bike – first proper mtb, photo from touring around iceland on it – it was perfect. not 100% sure where it is now.

and finally (for the HTs – not inc the CX and FS)

my solitude in its original form

now has regular gears, double and bash, black finishing kit, lots and lots of scratches and some new manitou minute 120mm bolt thrus (and some beefier wheels)
i love it 😀

why not working?!

😥

still waiting on the arrival of my red hope headset and MRP 1x guide, other alterations to pics include a red hope BB
