I was also lusting over a speedball, currently riding a mk2. Love the colour of the blue speedball & also that it has thru axles. Now I’ve looked at the mk4 spec, it looks like it has it all!! Damn

Will a 27.5 2.8″ fit in the back of a Mk1?

Pics please, email in profile

Got the bib shorts & they are very comfortable, good under baggy short.
As above, I originally ordered the 3/4 & they only just came past the knee so I sent them back.

Come on, hows the Mk3 ride compared to Mk1/2!!!!!!!…………

What headset you Sync owners running?
Ta

for me, biggest & most dissapointing is saying he rode the comeback clean!
You saw it right, oldish guy keeping up with feather light spaniards, in the prime (prob on the juice as well).
if he admits that, then i think the respect would come back.

Kinesis Sync or Titus Fireline?

Thanks all – useful insights.
Vondally, what are you now riding instead of the P29er?

Thanks clink but it says 18″ is c-c, I’m after centre of Bob to top of seat tube.
Want to compare it to my other bikes – can you measure yours (if you have one?)

Bump

Stooge owners – whats the seat tube length c-t?

captainflashheart – thanks for your time & effort.

Which Time one’s by the way?

great, thanks guys, will try time.
did have bike fit which initially felt like it helped.
I’m in the ‘its all subjective’ boat right now regarding whats right & wrong!

I have a 2004 burner, believe that was the last year for the 26″
Best handling bike I have had by far.
Toying with either a Burner 650b or Sultan upgrade?

Xcstu, running a 11-36 xt block & 32 NW ring with xt clutch mech.
Blown away by this setup, no fuss, gearing fine for climbing in wales & not dropped the chain once.

Nice bikes! Mines a salsa cromoto with a 465mm A to C.
More pics on its maiden rides over christmas in wales.

I bloody love mine.
That fork does look tall though?
Here mine, bit muddy mind!
Does have a big tyre in there but clearance looks similar to the lovely colour match pic above??

Yep, called the mrs from the top just over a week ago.
I’m back down now though.

Blimin spell check!!

Thanks onzadog, will study the map well

The short cockpit makes me feel a bit weird

The frame in the pic looks like a drawing/render.
May explain the unrealistic gap between top & down tube.

Thanks mikewsmith.
So to clarify, if I remove the 20mm spacer, travel will change from 120 to 100mm but the A2C will remain the same?
Cheers

Anyone?

What he^ said. I can’t imagine that frame having a 68mm bb.

Yes they do & yes you can clearly see it’s the light from the flash.
On a positive note, looks great & I’d love a go on that.

Takisawa2 – nicest bike I’ve ridden is an admirable comment.
Please share!

Certainly is not mincey – its probably as good as you are going to get for a 26″ ti.
Current trends aside, its a bloody lovely thing.

Daveb, I have one that I may be selling as have got to trim down the collection!
Bought the frame on here for £500 early last year but it is in good condition.
You normally get more for the bits if you break it down.
Let me know how you get on.
Cheers

Help choose which one to go based on head tube money shot!

Goldigger, I’m good up to 11.
Up for a couple hours in the mud?
Will try you email also.
Sorry op for the post high jack, will keep an eye on this for any group rides as am keen.
Cheers

Goldigger, is bloody grim out there!
Will find out when we are meeting friends & get back to you.
Is it best to reach you on email?

These kind of responses always spoil the post for me – nothing constructive or remotely helpful.

Goldigger, Sunday morning ride sounds good.
May only have a limited time window as have plans on the day.
What time & how long a ride are you thinking?
Are makkag & creepy up for it also?

Makkag, Goldigger & creepy – another local here in chipperfield.
Very keen to meet up for some local rides, have been here for couple of years & still trying to firm up some loops. Through the woods & down the valley behind bucks hill, drop onto the canal & then a little play in whippy is as good as I’ve got so far. Got a garmin for crimbo so it’s my mission to fully explore this year out & beyond local trails.
Will be sure to drop you a line, mail in profile!

Agree to all of the above but he is the best dressed man!

Think it counts as a ruin, somewhere on whites level SW

This was yesterday at the bottom
