6’2″ with a large Stumperjumper 26er. The stumpy frames are pretty long and the fit is perfect for me.

think im into the XL bracket with this bike but I know what you mean by long. that’s why I ended up with a carve HT. fits me lovely.

Beautiful bike and good spec. Where you purchase from mate ?

Pretty varied results so far. A couple of treks and no stumpjumpers FSR’S. Got a demo day next week and week after and will be trying XL in cube Stereo & stumpy FSr.

Clubber

Use old wheels for commute and new ones for off road.

29Er

Sorry.

Complete wheels with avid 5 180/160 discs and 10speed cassette. Fed up of changing tyres for work.
Specialized carve pro 2013.

Would like something nice looking and strong. £500.

29 is so very last season.. I understand there’s a new wheel size that we won’t need but will be required for entry to all trail centres in 2015.

if that’s the case have you look at specialized line up for this year?

663sqd,

thought about building my own but can you put me in the right step please?
dealer ?

6ft 3inches XL frame required

cheers

…if you take it there in an Audi, you’ll almost have a full line in STW Bingo.

in English?

cant help but love the look of them. just hope it feels as good on the 8th.

yes expensive but you get what you pay for.

a bit like “bang and olufsen or Bush” in the television world.

What’s your profession, what car do you drive and do you have an axe, chainsaw and woodburning stove..?

what do you mean by that?

The spesh fsr stumpjumper seems to be getting good reviews in mbr as an alternative option.

Try before you buy is the only way you’ll ever know to be honest. Personal preference counts for a lot.

they have a demo day in march. for the money you cant beat it IMO. will be doing my best to test it out.

first time on the dog at Cannock. loved it and was on a HT. mite be looking at a new bike for trails only.

you wont go wrong with this mate, and keep the change!!

thanks guys,

I think 2500 is my limit. it was 2000 but ive upped it a little. test rode anthem X 29 last week and loved it but im keeping my HT carve pro and a lot of people have told to go for something more aggressive to what basically I already have. so its Orange Five, Gyro Or Stumpjumper(which is a fantastic looking bike). unless anyone can recommend me a bike?
Leisure Lakes have a demo day at Cannock chase on 8th of march. phoned them today and they have all makes and models will be there.

thanks guys
don’t mind a bit of camo.

Nutter!

Singlespeedstu how tall are you? Truthfully,?

Be careful. You’re looking at 2 different types of bike there. The Giant, with short travel and tight head angle, is more XC oriented, whereas the Spesh is an enduro bike. Personally I’d go for the Spesh, unles you’re planning on entering any XC races.

Or alternatively, ask more questions, do more research and wait a while and make a more informed decision about the type of bike you want/need.

Ive got a HT Carve pro but for trails I think it will struggle and would like something more comfortable

I managed to ‘struggle’ round the Passports due Soleil on a 26″ one of them, so I reckon you’ll manage.

no mate but will look

captainflasheart

its either that OR

Ok nice one thanks.

Why are they so unpopular?

Would you use AAA’S instead?

Shame that all the best ones require big battery packs.

Love the design of the gloworm but a bit too exspensive for me.
£50 will do me.
Thanks.

Ok, waterproof is the most important. Like to go through water and mud and then hose down when home.

Captainflasheart there is always one!

Cheapest Gore tex will do me. Can’t beat goretex.

No budget
XL

Michael owen should consider chess next year.

The mathematics show this is the best design. You will be very happy to ride this bike!

thank you!

Thanks for your input guys.
I test road an Anthem X 29Er Sunday and loved it. Very nippy and yes your right dident feel as active as fSr.prefer the look of the anthem to camber anyway but I was trying to buy a bike with the best set up but now I will go with what feels best for me. Ta.

Very cleaver design. Am I right in saying specialized have never been a manufacturer of bikes but a developer of bikes?

see ya point tomhoward. watering can from now on.
