There’s a Surly Krampus on eBay at the moment can run single speed

My go to glasses are Adidas Evil eye half rim pro, tried oakleys and others but find these are the best for me, have never steamed up yet.

Nordisk Svalbard

Vitus Sentier VR29

Right looks like I’m giving 29 x 3.0 a go on the front, just bought the Dually from Clobber , just think I’ll run a 30mm rear rim

Clobber just saw your offer and I’ve PM’d you

Cheers

Good to hear mariner, I got a great deal on two Kinlin rims ( same that Hunt use)

@wzzz really? I was hoping to keep the weight down with those size of rims, not sure where I ride I’d need a 3” tyre.

Any Stooge owners running 30mm internal rims?

Cheers that’s what I was hoping. Got a great deal on two kinlin 35mm rims.

Looks great but I’ve always preferred to buy a frame and then spec it to my own component choice.

I’m hoping to be around 28-29lbs hopefully with light wheels

@rocketdog was top of my list but like hens teeth!! And Sam no intention of anew production run in the immediate future due to tooling costs.

@ajantom cheers for that I’ll check those out, haven’t seen any of the offerings from Goodyear

Plan to run 2.6 front and 2.4 rear to begin with , something fast but definitely a grippy front to run tubeless.
What do you recommend.

@malvern rider that looks gorgeous, what model is that?

Cheers yes plan to run 1×11 don’t have the knees for single speed

Oh didn’t realise it came with an EBB, no experience running one🤔

I’d be happy with around 28lbs so that’s doable?

Surely someone has the approximate weight of a complete build

Anyone got rough build weights for their Stooge?

@40mpg looks lovely. Hope the red looks as good

What’s the consensus on bars on the Stooge, mtb or drops?

Cheers dknwhy 👍

Cheers now to scour the internet for build ideas, mountains closed here to cycling so this will be a lockdown build, probably won’t see the mountains until Autumn or Winter

Just saw this on Instagram and does look stunning, so had a conversation with Andy and bought a red Stooge, super excited.

Fantabulous MK4 build from Mr Dodds way up north. I'm flattered by how well the MK4 has been received and it feels far too soon to be selling out of frames, but down to the last few now. Will there be more? Maybe, but not this year. Be nice to be able to afford to produce more than 1 model at a time, but hey, keeping on trucking is the important bit. #stoogecycles #stoogemk4 #plusbike #investmentneeded

I don’t doubt it but only red left doesn’t rock my boat I’m afraid

Surly karate are they not heavy as?

Same here not missing suspension at all but the Vaya can’t be thrown around like a rigid mtb hence the change of thought, £1300 for frame and fork I’d still expensive but not as frightening as £3500. How’s the bike on short road runs with 700c tyres?

That Shand is beautiful!! Never look at at them,

My word £3500 for frame and fork that’s eye watering

Stooge is something I’ve looked at numerous times but never pulled the trigger, they look a hoot nut not sure how they would fair with a set of 700c tyres popped in for a short local burst.

They are hope pro 4 so adaptable, sorry should have said would like steel

Plan to buy a frame and fork build to my spec, have wheels and other bits already so up to £750-1000

Have asked for a refund. Cheers all.

My wheel builder reckons that once they are tensioned up there’s a fair chance it will open the cracks wider. So probably sending them back.

No they are a sleeved joint according to WTB

Nor me at 70 quid plus per rim

Bump for the evening crowd, or are they as good as reviewed and worth the wait?

How do these actually ride is anyone disappointed?

What about hope pro 4 hubs on WTB kom i25 rims are approximately 1410 grams then light double butted spokes.
