Faint possibility?

*Sending positive waves*

Try a Krampus. 🙂

And tis good to hear this.

had a very uplifting talk to a heart surgeon, in sheffield today flash.

Homeopathy doing the business?

Surly Ogre sounds ideal

Singular Baby Robin?
I hope it goes well for you.

at the risk of a portion of fist pie

Travers Rudy Fat 29+ looks interesting, I love the look of it and it gets good reviews.

Good luck Tony. 😀

all the best Tony.

I am still to advertise it properly, but will be finally stripping and flogging my XL Krampus rolling chassis. Gone full fat, let me know if you are interested.

Kev

Errr do you mean rigid or hardtail?

Grrr. Tough enough 🙂

Pinnacle Ramin One. New bike feel good, upgrades a plenty feel good, mini-size spend feel good.

Fingers crossed for good news.

How about a Stooge

Sounds like promising news Ton.

My Gryphon might be the kind on thing you’d like. On-road, off-road, bit of touring, commuter too if you want.
Getting the build right is key.

Though the Krampus looks nice.

A steel Jones, diamond or Spaceframe.

Genesis Fortitude is very nice and good value second hand.

My single speed Fortitude is the most ridden bike, love the simplicity

Tony, I thought you had sold an On One 29er a while back

Charge Cooker is worth a look; a skinny tubed singletrack weapon… in the right hands of course 😉

Think Mr Shand might have something going?

Tony, I thought you had sold an On One 29er a while back

I did indeed, but I sold it a while back….I thought I was gonna be stuck without the need for a mtb.
it seems there is a possibility that I may need one again.
a strong 29er would be perfect, something I can do a bit of offroad on, or stick a rack and some slicks on, to tour with.

surly ogre looks good, on one 29r looks good vfm too.
everything seems to have shot up in price in the last 4 years….. 😯

Looking for a treking bike myself, how would a Fortitude Race compare with an Inbred 29er – prefer the Genesis on paper but Inbred is cheap at the mo & does allow for double chainring

Surly karate monkey…

You should definitely consider 29+

Another vote here for the Travers 29er+, loving mine.

I’d happily let you have a spin on it Tony, just let me know when and where

Karate monkey – most fun bike in the universe.

There was a good Ramin One thread running a few weeks ago, if you don’t want to gamble too much to start off with

I third the Karate Monkey, brill fun……

Damn, that Stooge is purty.

You deserve a custom f&f!

see my other thread…… 😆
