Yep crosscheck is goodun, have a nice battleship grey one that is ace. Often sh ones on eBay.

I’ll be there again, regular pass sorted….. May head over to stanmer park this eve if you can escape?

Captainflashheart, is that Peter Andre?….

Or use a chisel and make yourself a fashionable necklace!

Ogm they look ok too, going to see hundreds of these out on the trails. Thankfully I already have a 29er otherwise I’d join in too at that price!!

Have one in my garden too. Havn’t found it’s day space yet but there are so many hiding places!

I had to build a wooden box open at both ends to put the food in as the local fox (and baby fox) not to mention the local cats tended to beat them too it. Now only the hedgehog can fit in.

I blinged it up by using gold aluminium mesh on tie sides too. That way we can watch it munch happily away!

singlespeed inint? seriously though, id be miffed too. I’ll stick to my nice pink ali spidered sram one (that will never wear out as it’s used once a year at best and sits in the parts box until then).

Some people are soo good with words!

Looking on the bike porn thread reminded me that the Pace 29er is out now! They had a few left from their first batch last time I asked (although the ltd cream was long gone).

Not too pricy either, between a salsa/swift and the niner SIR.

clubber, I’m with you, high bars on bikes simply doesn’t work for me. all my bikes (even 26ers) run a negative stem. Goes round corners better that way!

In the intrest of balance and since these havn’t been round too long to get a loyal following, here is the salsa.

Excellent ride, easily as good as the swift(had one too)if not more versitile and much prefer the cable route, ss solution and looks. Of course each to their own and I’m sure some people will hate and hate my shaggy beard.

I’m 6’1″ and this is a 20″.

The best set up:

The wuss set up:

My brown trek 69er once I’d ditched the mavericks and whacked on some niner carbons. Only just sold it but will always be special! Wish I had the space to keep everything.

Hi are you riding this week? I’ll be out and about if so!!

bunnerscj ygm

bunnerscj i’ll mail you. not in shoreham by any chance?

If you are near Brighton I can do it. If not bikeshop sounds like a good plan!

Just bought one of the fastrax branded salsa primero frames of ebay. Fully compact but ticks my bike must be slightly odd box. over £1000 for the frame origionally now selling for a fraction more than the cheap carbon jobbies.

here is one in salsa colours (mine is white with fastrax graphics)

Well I think the bonty rl’s come with bonty branded DT hubs ( the rxl ones certainly do) worth checking the rear as I know my front rl has one. You would also probably get more money for selling the hopes.

Although in winter you’ll need to wee on your freehub when it freezes…

my one has the 120mm forks and that does certainly feel nice. I may be willing to part with it too if you are looking? only 5 rides since sep last year so pretty mint!

Maybe even this evening!!

Funnily enough I live in Shoreham. Will defo be able to join in but sadly not this Sunday. Will be riding after work at least one evening this week if you fancy it?

+1 for the salsa el mariachi or ala carte, they are ace to ride, fairly cheap and not too blingy

hi, nope tried that, your range was my guess too….

Hi, i have a pair of salsa woodchippers which have massive ones! they are 31.8, 46cm too so nice and wide. cost me £55 new and although built and with the usual fitting marks, are otherwise new and unridden! £40 and they are yours…. I used a different pair of these on one of my old CX bikes and they areamazing, nice, wide and very stable especially of road. sold the salsa fargo they were on before it ever got ridden.

Hmm did it ss last year and I’m also a Gareth.. …….

open shed, chuck in qucikly before it and the others fall out, try and close door, done.

No worries, drop me a mail if you get stuck!

I’m in Brighton too if you need a hand. Been building and fixing bikes for 16 or so years now!!

I agree, I awlways loved his ragged style! would never call him smooth but he always made you cringe and go wow at the same time.

Ctb, I may be coming your way soon!

anyone know if the blackbuck is coming back?

69er (apt name) i’ll let you know if i ever find anything!! wish i wasn’t so fussy.

any other ideas? yeti winning so far…

olie, nope tis a large 19.5″, will take a lot to prize it out my hands, hopefully a nice new fancy 29er will and then i’ll regret it for ever!

Cynic-al, I do have a comple drop bar set up for sale if you want it? Cable Brakes, levers, salsa woodchippers, salsa bar tape, dia tech friction shifters (all numbers of gears.

Jordon whilst riding through brighton, about 6 years ago mind!

Tazzy, thanks the info! I love bikes that have somthing special about them. My 69er is one of them, was cr*p with the Maverick forks, but as soon as I ditched them and stuck on a niner carbon, it turned into a dream to ride.

Frame has an EBB by the looks of it, almost worth buying for the parts and selling the rest on.

Bingo (although again no frames in stock gah, it’s like a nightmare..):

Rorschach, yep I agree about the old selma and the Ti one is proper nice. I’d love to see the new ali one. They also do the mamista ali one with a bb30, I think there is somthing you can buy that turns a bb30 into a eccentric bb? hmm off to hunt the internet…

+1 baby Roni, it’s so cute!! (although the beak does look a little different so may be very wrong!!)

here is another:
