Very nice Gary! You got rid of the Swift then?

big bloke, big bike, after 300 miles of scottish offroad (big ben over my left shoulder, and i am stood in a ditch, so the bike isn’t too big for me). 8)

getting on for 5 years old now, and currently sporting a set of Manitou Minutes

No thanks Tony, I do know a man who can sell you one just like it though, Sideways Tim 🙂

Another Diamondback Mojito here. £200, even came with the logos and valves lined up.

Gary….looks good even from a querky angle..

more quirky, but outside (with night ride clutter and scotland trip spec)

Another Swift. When it had some wild brake hose thing going on.

rD you’ve taken something beautiful and made it real ugly……. I’m weeping

it’s not ugly, it’s useable, showroom bikes are for people who just like to look at them, get them out of the garage, polish them and put them back, i like to ride my bikes, a strange concept for many on ST i know 😉

first ride:

it’s new, i built it, it feels weird at first, then i ride it a bit more, i drop the height of the bars, i raise the height of the saddle, it feels better but not quite there, i move the shifter inboard, feels even better, ride a bit more, back feels squirmy funnily enough just after some joker on a narrowboat shouts that there’s something wrong with the rear tyre, so i put some more air in, feels even better, i mess about, practice stoppies, wowza, the brakes work!, that’s a novelty, try some hills, riser bars are an experience i’ve not had for a while, different but not bad, raise the saddle a bit more, that’s it, i’m home, on the comfy sofa with the remote at hand…but it’s a saddle and a handlebar.

😕 of course the bike is to be used. it just ain’t easy on the eye?? from your other pics you seem like a man of reasonable taste so maybe sort the bike out!?? 🙂 the first pic you posted of the swift is much nicer

Love the new bike!

🙂

fenboy – [to rd] you seem like a man of reasonable taste

😆 😆 😆

Anyone have any experience of the Turner Sultan? Looking maybe at the older TNT bike.The Anthem would be nice,but probably something a bit more niche,xc orientated and 100mm travel?
Thanx Max

Turnerfan1 I found it hard to even demo a Sultan, went with a Tallboy in the end, but would be interested to hear more about them.

Another of the Karate Monkey and Pumpkins at dawn…

My latest 29ers so new it’s being welded together* as I type this.

My Fisher Ferrous. Love it!

waiting for dates and a final price for the 120mm version of the evolve to come into the UK,

it makes my other elli look almost acceptable

nice Tazzy

Turnerfan1 – Anyone have any experience of the Turner Sultan?

a pm to the sultan owners who posted here might help

Hoojum, what year are those Rebas? and… can I have them please?

Another ferrous!

Mine after a fair few recent upgrades mostly using bits from the classifieds. All work done myself. Wheels are the only thing I’d really like to improve. I think it’s about 27 lbs at the moment which doesn’t seem bad for a 20″ frame and big wheels.

been riding it for a few weeks now and thoroughly enjoying it, hoses now proper length, gears working perfectly (though haven’t needed to get out of middle ring yet) and fitted some proper tyres yesterday as conditions are getting a little sticky, got up at 7 today (sunday 03/10/10) and it’s obviously monsoon season so it’s staying in the garage.

Don’t let a bit of rain stop you. Mine was up to the BB in water the other week riding between Lee and Cragg quarries. There’s something satisfying about riding in those conditions. Strange thing was a guy went past us on a drop handle race of some sort at the top of Lee quarry – bizarre!

rOcKeTdOg, i keep changing bits on my bike just to bump your thread back to the front, latest incarnation has alfine. taken a few days ago, before the snow!

Reflectors, stickers and bell removed…proper pedals and some mud installed!

Holy thread resurrection!
