Where’s SingleSpeedStu? His bike’s certainly the nichest hardtail!

paging singlespeedstu….

sc-xc has some nice, if a little different rigs there….

Another Maxlight here.

That was after swapping from an all black theme with Bombers xc500, but before my white Rebas fitted. Minutes went to a good home.

Mainly XT with XTR rear, Bonty race light wheels, now with Rebas, Titec post, Charge saddle and waiting for my Thomson stem 🙂

Light and agile bike. Really love it. My girlfriends Cannondale f400 with upgraded Headshok fatty ultra and xt disc brake and rear xt V brake (from deore, lx to xt on hers)

Me.

Bit muddy tho.

Me – it’s sweet because I built it (with lots of help!) and it rides like a dream 😀

my maxlight is too dull and ugly to post but i am about to build up an orange (colour) handjob for my mate. Mmmmmmmmm 😀

How about this?

or this, which i love, but everyone else seems to hate.

swiftacular – I’ve always liked it too:)

Thanks Yoshimi, well thats two of us, plus my wife who it belongs to.

Another Dialled…

The last warm dry day of our wonderful 2008

That baby-blue/white SCruz is sweet! Who wouldn’t like that??

I got one of these babies:

Technically an ex-bike, but probably the best looking hardtail I have owned (and nicer than yours :wink:)

My Chameleon. I’m beginning to think I should have bought this bike a while ago instead of going through a whole bunch of other “not quite there” bikes…

Looking through the photos I notice a lot of us seem to sit on a SDG Bel Air saddle. I have a cupboard full of barely worn saddles from other brands that I tried before I found the Bel Air. I now have 2 they love my bum and I love them because they let me ride further.

Baby blue Santa Cruz looks really sweet 🙂 I would not want to have one in that colour but I am pretty sure my girlfriend would be sold on one 🙂 When I was loooking for a bike for my other half, some really decent ones were turned down because some colours were not matching. Eventually found that Cannondale she accepted but had to listen for 3 days that the Headshok P-bone with 63mm travel (but matching silver) was better in her opinion than a Fatty Ultra air that weights 1.29kg and has around 80mm of travel, and rebound settings but is black and not silver… That was until she got some proper xc offroad action and felt the difference.

Your black Pace looks great. Wish my Kinesis was as black as Yours Pace 😉

Sadly both are no more after my own personal credit crunch last year.
But the memory lives on.

Mieszko, my santa cruz is even blacker.
Was sold on your gf’s ‘dale when you first showed me the pics for the minutes, really sweet, simple looking bike.
I know what you mean about women, theyre almost as bad as blokes(;-)) for colour matching.
And the minutes are going well ta.

My current hardtail setup, I like it (especially the Alfine hub 🙂 ) And the rigid fork is really working for me at the moment, I love the direct tactile quality of the ride, plus it teaches you better skills (I think anyhow 🙂 )

heres my sweetheart…

It’s cheap & it’s nasty but it’s hoot to ride…… 🙂

My 2000ish Kona Roast recently rebuilt. A very fun bike.

My brothers 456. Only been used a handful of times and a bit too long for my liking needs a straight post and a 70mm stem.

Neither are especially saweet but they are the only ons I have photos of.

Not saying it’s the best out there but I love my Chromag.
