in that's it's always been my opinion about the Giant maestro suspension bikes, the yes, you are correct

Don't think I've posted mine yet..

Really like it.

rOcKeTdOg, i was going to second rootes1's opinion of the anthems before you had chance to question his eye sight but alas i was too late 😆

anyway, i'm getting dragged along by this whole 29er thing so when you put gears back on your swift (you know it's only a matter of time 😉 ) can i have a go? 🙂

SS is fine for Warwick trails, after spending all my time out of the saddle up The Lickeys on monday night gears might be going on quite soon!

….roll on Oct though 😉

Stu, 9 gears enough for you?

Here's mine, as it is right now, no doubt something will change soon though.

Drooling over all these. My Scandal and carbon forks are in the post so ill join the club soon 🙂 was wondering whether to go ss or geared but the SS stuff here is so nice I have made up my mind.

Mine's been SS since I got it in January, I like it, but I don't like the lack of speed with an easier gearing, the bad climbing of a harder gear, and the middle ground just sucks. I've only last week decided to go for a minimal amount of gears to get me about better.

rOcKeTdOg – Stu, 9 gears enough for you?

yep, you got a plan?

Stumpjumper Carbon Expert 29er

Apart from the bent seatpost that looks well nice

My current 29er

deaky… one gear, big wheels, rigid forks and whacky bars… you're just not right 😉

you out tomorrow? 🙂

Latest arrival – very impressed so far. Apologies for poor quality pic.

I will be out Stu but not in the morning. Just about to go to a BBQ and I don't think I'll be in a fit state for the morning ride 😛

my scandal

Im late in on this one, but just built this 🙂

Thanks to STW users for the Frame and Wheels (and other odd bits over the years)

YEs I know that tensioner looks like a deore mech…! I am thinking that if 36:20 works for me, I can get the perfect tension with a 1/2 link and a tiny bit of dropout filing….

mmm some nice bikes on here.

My Swift (medium) just to push the numbers up again, now running ss and back on the stock forks after running a set of Exotic carbons for a while.

which Brooks saddle is that?

mboy what colour frame is your on one please?

Its a Swift ti, quite fancy a Swallow though but may have to sell one of the kids to fund it.

Taz hows the Scandal working out? Looks good 🙂

goes like a fecker thanks Ferrit, although I'm going to get a sticker with
"can I have some bike with my seatpost please?" made up

ha brilliant, but you could alway have a couple of inches trimmed from your lower legs. Glad you happy with it, it was crying out to be built up and ridden.

put some blocks under the wheels to raise the top tube a bit, then you can drop the saddle

that's so cunning I could put a tail on it and call it a fox!

😀

at last, i can add to rOcKeTdOgs show your 29er thread. built it last night, haven't ridden it yet, still got to set the gears up and shorten the rear brake hose then i'm off up the woods 🙂

and move the brake levers away from the "jedi" position

how's it ride?

oh and…

Deaky is that the 2011 Unit frame?

rOcKeTdOg – and move the brake levers away from the "jedi" position

how's it ride?

oh and…

the "jedi" position helps me stay my side of the bars… not always mind. rides good, tyres were a bit shite for wetter conditions and i was nervous at first as i thought the rigid forks would have me going off at tangents on wet rootes but it was all good, still seemed to have plenty of energy left after 3+ hours… maybe i just ate less pies! 🙂

what's with the misfit, can't be yours, it's only got one gear 😉

Here’s mine. It’s one of those cheap far eastern TI jobbies.



Currently set up as singlespeed with deraileur to keep chain tensioned.

doesn’t the chain bounce of the rear cog or have you some ingenious device back there?

No magic device back there. I’ve only ridden it for about an hour but no problems yet.
