Just built up the new 26″ steel hardtail.

120mm Charge Duster:

Not sure how its going to ride with a 120mm fork on but we’ll give it a go. Should be more fun than the 80mm hardtail that its replaced!

Link not working…

Pics here

The hardtail is also dead, and steel has been dead since the new CEN regs.

No one…

Incidentally, nobody said that.

That would look great if it was a 29er:-):-):-)

Let me know how it rides as I’m thinking of getting one to build up. What size and how tall are you? Inside leg?

Wow zerocool we hardly know each other…

Frame size 17.5″, I’m 5’9″.

Cant wait to get it on the trails

Looks tidy does that.

British, steel, hardtail, 26″. What’s not to like.

Can’t believe how small your wheels are

Never mind the wheels, look at that stem – it’s already into tomorrow 😉

How do you think the gets in his van?

British, steel, hardtail, 26″. What’s not to like.

The colour – like The Stones said: paint it black

Those that perpetuate the myth that it’s all about the bike. My P7 is still very much alive and makes me very very happy.

so if I said that Im thinking about a set of 24″ wheels…..

I was just looking at these the other day, the price of the frame! If I didn’t already have about 3 too many frames in the garage I’d have one like a shot, ace.

Those that perpetuate the myth that it’s all about the bike. fall for bike manufacturers marketing.

11 hours and no mention of the front tyre logo/valve alignment? The hose length? Saddle angle? Paintwork on his camper van? Choice of frame protection tape?

Priorities, people! Priorities!

I like it. 26″ steel bikes will always be ace 🙂

Never mind the wheels, look at that stem – it’s already into tomorrow

+1 😀 lol

I’m just impressed by having a passport photo booth in your house! 😉

Nice bike too.

your left pedal looks a bit chunky?

Tyre logo’s on VW van slightly off as well.

I’m glad the 120mm stem isn’t dead.

Is the fork new? If not, how are you getting along with it? I’m not impressed with my Durin (on a steel 26″ hardtail also) and will probably sell it and replace with Rockshox…

Looks obsolete to me 😉

I’ve made a bit of gamble with the fork to be honest. Not sure how it will perform.

And yes, the stem is too long

And yes, the valve/type logo alignment is annoyingly skiwiff…
