Cheers boxfish

boxfish yes definately interested, how much. Out of curiosity why was it replaced.

Looks good, cheers.

Mike, how has the anodizing held up?

was thinking of this next year what is the best type of bke for this

Transition Bandit :D

Gee wiz might just sell my hope pro 2s and get a set of specific Mavic Crossmax SX’s

richmtb cheers for that. Fudge.

I suffered this until I changed to a set of carbon bars, they took the sting out of the trail and prevented the trail buzz going to my hands

stumpjumper evo comp £2500
Awesome spec super bike,check the reviews

Hans dampf trailstar front, pacestar rear! Awesome!

JCL cheers for that looks like my mind is made up to get a Dixon frames. How did you find the split pivot suspension?

As I intend to run a new frame with a new set of revs 150mm forks it looks like the covert is not in the running, a pity as it was my first choice when I started trying to find a frame to deal with the terrain that i ride in and I love the descents over climbing

Based on the height ranges it looks like the kenesis for me.

When is this available?

Didn’t know Cy was doing the Solaris in green. That’s why I decided on the FF29 because of the sic green colour

jollygreengiant yep the cool green in large and medium in stock

nbt, those burners were brilliant, I loved mine. What’s the craic with the smorgasbord?

Yea jolly green giant a scandal and a set of wheels for same money but that green is sic a real persuade, how sad to be swayed by a colour.

Just read the review for the new pivot mach 5.7 now utterly confused where to spend my money anyone tried one of these

bongo biker your singlespeed will be fine around Ballinastoe not very drastic climbs and super fast singletrack

The best descripton I’ve ever read for a tyre and I agree wholeheartedly!!

“Maxxis Ardent best all rounder, fast as a runaway bride , grips like a divorcee in alimoney court.”

Cheers, now to decide gorgeous green Bfe or the new soul in Orange!

really nice, making me have doubts about the new bfe, just wanted to know does the frame have dropper post guides?

chvck what weight roughly is it

I run one of these and they are awesome stems super stiff and great clamping area for your bars they are much better in the flesh, seriously bling and more importantly you are not a SHEEP!

You could always get other half to drop you off and then she could entertain herself in the village , you can easily cycle the road to the village when you’re done.

+1 for Ballinastoe ride it regular very good with fast singletrack, I run a Maxxis Advantage front and an Ardent Exo rear as it is quite rocky in places, the locals if any about will possibly take you over the mountain where you ride along sleepers over the bogs and onto some other local trails that loop back to Ballinastoe, no showers or cafe at trail head but local village Enniskerry has some superb eateries. DO NOT LEAVE VALUABLES N CAR! Also Powerscourt Estate nearby, good day out for family

Now got the urge to have a second bike, very tasty in green.

Cheers jim76 hopefully going to arrange a try on Shandy’s just going to email him at start of the week to arrange things.

Shandy email me on fudge9202@googlemail.com to try and arrange something

Cheers for the offer

Where are freeborn based, trails wise could arrange family caravan holiday in the area with unsuspecting wife 8)

j3ffo That Dixon looks awesome!

Would love to have a demo on both but sadly in Ireland, also looks like I need to rethink fork choice. Just checked Freeborn’s site the Dixons are specced with a 32 150mm fork, just what I have so a result, anybody running a covert similarly specced?

Try maxxis advantage 2.25, work for me after some advice on here.

Cheers Simon was considering my new Maxxis Highroller II XC Exo but perhaps overkill on manmade trails?

Run the 2.25 Exo version on the rear super grip but as above not so good in the mud have an Advantage on the front a great combo IMO!

RIP- Very sad news, condolences to his nearest and dearest.

I’ll take them off your hands if you don’t want them! :wink:

Just had a three hour run in the Mourne Mountains,(Northern Ireland) singletrack rooty and slightly muddy, some fire roads and rocky singletrack, had an Advantage on the front 2.25 and an Ardent 2.25 EXO on the rear, they were absolutley faultless and aswell as awesome grip they gave good feedback of the trail and were not draggy on the climbs.
But you will struggle to get these for £20 an end.Best advice buy used before spending loads.

Conspiracy theory lives on, all I wanted as a tyre choice :lol:
