Merlin have an empty link on there site for Cove frames :-)

Thanks just asked if they are still for sale both medium , someone just put up a large, which would be huge for me :D just found a medium new for £750,

Wiggle have Altura Mayhem in XL and XXL for £74.99

Turner looks nice, The Thumper looks great and good value, looking around for a Horsethief , in medium would be nice.

Oh thanks , thats good to know, will give me more options for a frame.

Yes Cheeszy the Titus looks great but 2.1 is a bit narrow , and im guessing 2.1 is tight , usually run 2.2 to 2.3 large volume maxxis or continental. Will have a look at the thread.

I know hows yours going, a nice 2nd hand horsrthief would be a good option i really liked my spearfish…

I used to run 2.4 Nobby Nics on my P7 2010 model ,ok for most trails not so good on wet rocky stuff but on the mountain with peat/loamy trails with loose rock they where fine,and set up tubless I could run them softer for more cush at the back and plenty of grip, rolled well also,

When I was there in Morzine, there was a french girl shreding a Santa Cruz Nomad in white hot pants, a pink strappy top and white trainers, she was really quick , and was there every day

Carbine is the old 26″ with revised drop outs to take the 27.5″ , less travel than the t275 , taper headset on carbine , T275 1 1/2″….
ISCG tabs on the T275, carbine is a Trail bike, T275 Enduro :D I have one of the last Tracer 2’s running 26″ wheels although you can buy the drop outs and run 27.5″ absolutely the fastest bike I have ridden, wish I had the skills to use it.

medium Intense Tracer 2 about 44″

single ply minions when i went but the guide said he always rides dual ply, he didn’t mince along like me though…

I sold a complete shock 4 months old £68 216×63 RP23 on ebay , but then only paid £165 for a 3 month old Kashima 2014 CTD 216×63 that had been removed from a new bike after the owner went to CCDB, not helping sorry :D

Every bike I build weighs 29.9lb to 33lb just always ends up that way, my Orange 5 was 33lb full xtr , flows, 36’s and reverb :D Just buuilt a 29er hard tail 29.9lb my Tracer 2 32.9lb, £4 scales of Ebay , as it happens the Park scales gave the same figures

I needed this last year :D

I’m in Minera Daisy_Duke , I usually ride up the Worlds End Road across the planks (Offas Dyke) then into the forest or up and over the masts and sneak back into the forest and ride the black and red trails and finish with a brew and cake :D then have to do the climb again to burn said cake off :D

Its a nice place, I live 3 miles from Llandegla, just over an hour to Coed y Brenin, The Marin, Penmachno, and many many natural trails, its awesome , :D

I tried it , never really worked turned the Stans rim strip very soft and swelled up wouldn’t go back on but now fit my 29er rims :D tyres where always sweating blue beads of fluid, had to stick some stans in to get a seal so had tyres that weighed a ton coated with the Fenwicks gunk, went back to stans with new tyres no problems at all.

Worcester Bosch , had one in my last house for 11years was still going strong when we moved and current one is 20years old broke down once after 18 years part cost 75p and £69 labour , fingers crossed it will go on forever :D

Thanks for the replies , forgot about Zee, will have alook round at prices, :-)

Thanks Jamie ,
No spaff RD :-)

Brake hoses need shortening tied up in a loop at the moment,

rides nice , been riding 140-160mm travel for the last 5 years so feels slightly bumpy :-)

yes Hope Headset , its taken me quite a while to get the build done, was supposed to be ready for winter :-)

29.9lbs not too bad with a reverb

2012 Turner Burner medium in Raw with Kashima shock sold for £470 on ebay a couple of weeks ago, looked to be in very good nic wish I’d had the money to bid.

drizzle in N.Wales and cold , still going out though

gaffer tape and a stick , but no not really

Noticed all of mine is black or black n grey, or grey n black I’m murdered out , really boring

KMCx10 and SRAM 1080 lasted longer than shimano XT for me running 1 x 10

The new 160mm Pikes seem the new go to, I have Fox 34’s seem pretty good so far, but I think Pikes are said to be better, New 36’s are coming 20mm or 15mm option and lighter than the olld 36’s

Dont have one myself but thought the Orange 29er hardtail seemed a good do it all bike,

24seven lock ons for me, but trying out some Mortops from tweekscycles quite chunky and grippy, dayglo green too :D

nah just do it :D

I went to an Orange 5 gave the same sort of confidence feeling, then went to a SC Butcher which was great, now have a Tracer 2 which is also very good, steady climbers all of them but go down very well.Had a Nomad for a while sold it when I lost my job that was a very nice bike.

Llandegla have both in for demo , I’m about the same height would go medium in both see how it goes, I’ve owned both in 26″ form and they both give a great sense of security and confidence , and helped me with my less than perfect skills. I think my Heckelr was a better alrounder, but they have changed quite a bit.

My 2007 Heckler sold it the end of 2009 bought it feb 2007, had a good time on it , even went to the Alps :D

I found the Avid bolts fitted perfect shimano with washer where to big, :D
