Just added the finishing parts to complete the build and have just got back from few minute ride over the woods to walk the dog…

This now gives me enough pedal time to give a Stooge pro review 🙂

It rides just how I imagined it would

I like it

It fits fine

You haven’t tried those Kodex bars though 😉

Do post up some pics, I’m sure it doesn’t look like those cars

We’re presuming you went Sky Blue

Nice pics btw

Nige you also thought your xxxxxxxl niner was the right size for you.

Fackin ell Stu, that was 10 years ago

Anyway – Clink’s had first dibbs 🙂

My Mate has an El Mar – that is a steeper geo and so more twitchy up front

Stil a nice ride

Nige.
When you find out it’s “a bit small for you” I’ll have it off you for Amanda.

It’s the same size as the Raijin I’ve been using for the past two years, which I love

Mines arrived

Waiting on a minor part for tomorrow’s inaugural ride

Lookin good

It’ll be too small for you mate.

POSTED 16 HOURS AGO # REPORT-POST

Thing is Stu, I’ve got the flexibility of Hoodini so can make any size shine 🙂

Yeah Martin. My Raijin has been serving just fine and dandy for the past two years. Thing is the suspension fork usually stays on lock out which is why the Stooge appeals with its high & light front, combined with a fairly balooned tyre.

Clink – faster than a robber’s dog 🙂

Re Sizing:

I think the Stooge’s geo will make the cockpit fairly adaptable for riders of differing sizes. It’s not ideal having to use lay back posts, but I’ve been using a Kent Ericson on the Raijin with no issues

BTW – My Raijin’s ETT is 23.5″ and the Stooge’s is 23 and I’m 6’2″

Ordered a Sky Blue one 🙂

Looks like Stooge frames arriving (at last) Tuesday (27th)

Thanks Andy. Could you update on FB too as there’s notifications there. Ta

That’s the point of this bike I think. If it works like it says, and it looks as if it should, then all’s good 🙂

What a great web site

Looking forward to a ride, which maybe very soon as Andy the owner thinks delivery of new frames is any day now

Exciting news, and good to hear from folk who have actually spent time on them, albeit short

Alive & well in Llangollen

^^ it wasn’t intentional, but I suppose this is singlecrack

I think it’s a combination of a low cloudy day combined with the desert dust and then the rest of the normal car fume stuff, so you end up with a denser, more toxic mix

Well, having just got back from a ride (Clent Hills), I’m going to come down on the side of Bad

I could taste a dry salty thing in my mouth and the back of my throat was ‘full of it’. Eyes were a bit streamy too

The car roof’s were covered with brown dust, and a roadie I talked to concurred

Here’s a pic

Zero – you must be living under a rock man. We’ve been advised to wear masks.

It’s hysteria out there!

There’s a few showers coming in later which should clear things

OMG Stumpy – you actually went against the government’s advise and rode?!

You’re a lucky man, or super human

I’m not sure I would be that lucky

I really don’t know, which is why I’m asking and why it may seem a naive question

How would you quantify the differences Sam, between Rooster & Stooge?

I’m after a lay explanation to help decide.

Cheers

What would the thoughts be to compare the Rooster to the Stooge?

Stooge Cycles – who's interested? (slack 29er content)

Any thoughts on comparisons with the Rooster from Singular?

Anyone managed to throw a leg over one of these?

A couple have been sold so I believe…

I’ve just replaced my front Beaver with a Storm – just had to as the Beaver was simply not gripping enough

Quite an improvement

Looking forward to seeing it in purple 🙂

Gotma – totally spot on 🙂

Higher BB

^ Might have a bit more of a snap to it in the pedal then?

Looks great! Lovely colour. Don’t need another rigid 29er, but if I did, and couldn’t afford a Jones, this would be right up there.

The Stooge seems very much in the flavour of the Jones – no bad thing

One thing is the Stooge CS is shorter. Enough to make a difference I would say

ETT on size 18 is 24″

What weight is the frame?

Also, do you have an expectation of when you will have 1×9/10 compatible frames?

And, what colours are available?

16.5″ CS sounds fun 🙂

Cheers

OK, perhaps what I should have asked was what folk thought of this new bike?

We know the Spearfish has been around for a bit and know what that’s like

We know Salsa has been making cool 29er stuff for a long time, so teaming up with Dave whatsisface can only be good, right?

What’s cobblers to not running a triple?

I’ve ran a single for years and can go up and along everything steep and road
