Kona 2-9 and White Forks off of here…loving it :lol:

Have new XTR and hope pro mini, will be changing the hopes as xtr are far better in bleed, pad change, and riding is just another level up IMO

Born in Corby, moved to BoroughBridge (N,Yorks) aged 7, moved to Somerset at 22 years old to open new business and still here.
Would like to move a little more rural one day.

Found one at last

$20 delivered

Very tasteful

I sell keys, mail me a picture of original, I can work the blank reference and mail you back so you can get them to order, failing that I can send the blank to you

Try timpsons ?

Was doing really well, 60K rides average for a sunday on SS.
Start of June had a minor heart attack, still no reason from Quack or hospital as why. Gradually started back on the bike this month, going gentle and slow.
Resigned to not do Kielder this year under medical grounds and fitness wise I feel like I did back in january…BOLLOX

If you intend riding anywhere that points down don't go with the standard 71 HA….

Not a problem on mine 8O

Bobster… speak to Gary @ Curtis explain what you want and how you would like it ideally built, I believe he can adjust head/seat angles to your requirements, especially if you want to run 140mm travel 853

Woo I'm here,
Over a period of 15 plus years riding mountain bike I had the Curtis built for exactly what I wanted it to be.

71/73 angles ideally suited to 100mm travel, have ridden it with 115mm reba with 30% sag, and in its current guise it is fully rigid SS.

Had it built with 23.75 inch T/T length, and 17.5 inch C-C so to give a little more standover.

Had it nearly 2 years now, the ride it gives is amazing, stays are very thin 853 and the frame weighs in at 4.06lb.

It is a real blast on tight whippy singletrack, very responsive and incredbly well balanced as a built bike.

PS Scienceofficer is hoping my son doesn't grow to tall so he can steal it when i'm too old to ride.

Well worth the wait

Ardent 2.25 on the front, with aspen 2.1 on the rear, cracking tyres

ZTR Olympics on ProII hubs, I'm 10.5 stone and been running these for over 12 months and still straight and true, Got mine from JRA, ride mendips, south wales and quantocks

Do the one in Ringwood next year, give Cliff @ Royce a run for his money

Run L200 for 3 years fault free, just had a new one delivered for next three years.
Nearly went for a hilux but too expensive for not alot of spec difference

SS/Rigid only for me, riding it for 18 months now, doing Gap ride in August to see how fir I really am

Ardent and Aspen for me on ss, so nice on dry they make a kissing sound when the surfaces meet

Never forget Tandem Jeremy is the font of all knowledge…or so he thinks

Mavic Crossmax, action is a proper flip and lock, not cheap but 100% reliable

Just in from whipping a quick ride round weston Woods on my Kona Kula
2-9er, love riding it through all the chop and rocks n roots, rigid SS weighing in at 20.4lb

29er isn't for all, but them that do get on with it..enjoy.

End of the day, it's just riding bikes in woods, hills n dirt and it's fun!

The biggest issue for you now will be psychological. I couldn't say whether it will break or not, but I can tell you that you will be thinking about it every ride and especially every jump/drop….

Scienceofficer Jump/Drop…I don't think so LOL

Always feel bloated eating a chinese then hungry 20 mins later, so Indian or Thai for me

Scienceofficer Mendips – A top secret location allowing the clearance of new singletrack AND drinking of beer.
…and other illict liquor please

I just got my chair and poured a fresh beer ready for another instalment of the one and only…

STW Great Lube Debate!!!

Excellent, well done to you!

I'm offloading my entry atm due to heart problem, waiting to hear from organisers

sorry, tubeless here

Frame, forks and cranks from classifieds, rest either the bay, new or bastardised from old build.

Wheels built by Jim Davage at Bike City in Wells.

Love riding it.

0 mm on either end :roll:

No I need slotted disc mounts as the frame has horizontal dropout this way caliper alignment will be easier

Saw Steve Lamacq leaving the Swan Hotel in Wells on thursday morning….getting too old to camp now?

Florence and the Machine were pretty good IMO on the red button.

Corratec Bow?

Mama…they are very fast, snappy handling XCracer type frames.
Tried the original a few years back at a Plymouth Grundig race, still hankering for one 12 years later

I wouldn't want to ride in the north because Tandem Jeremy lives there.

Have a look at the Ti version, makes my palms sweat holding onto the wallet :lol:

mmm, somewhere to keep the menu sir?

Got RS2, RS7 and RS8, 2 on royce BB 1 on race face all Sq Taper.
Have tried King and FSA Megaexo BB external, both had issues with wear where as little wear showing on sq tapers.

BUMP

Loving my 17 deg sweep on ss
