😀

took some pics of my new bandit today had an hours blast as it was pissing down


need to do some playing with forks etc, but first impressions are its brilliant

New hose will be here tomorrow so just gotta bleed that and the reverb

will get some pics up tomorrow, spec is
reverb, flows on evo hubs , the revs you pointed me too 1×9 with bash ,never thought about dodgy cabling ill try it when I get home,gotta say it looks really good and purposeful i went with the silver colpur as I didn’t want any unnecessary attention 😀

The sizings a bit odd on the transition, I’m normally medium but gone large on this

Rear brake stu, got two elixirs and both hoses are too short 🙁

Oh the reason I chose it is because its what I expect a full sus to be, slack with long travel if I wanna mince in the woods ill use my hardtail, gotta say it looks well built can’t wait to ride it

I’ve just bought a bandit waiting on one part for the build

I tried a 29er once, now I own 4 😀

Hmm I might have to pull my finger out and send an entry off

Same weekend as Ssec

yes

its absolutely amzing what Mike has done so far

just buy a 29er and be done with it 🙂

its a nice deck i have the same one, for what its worth i still ride mine sometimes 😀 your never too old

mine has a silver collar its still 2012

Nah bmx night

I drink reasonably regular, after a nights heavy seesion I make a point of having a pint at lunchtime the day after.

What a load of cock this thread is. Basically some people like some bikes others don’t. Why argue about it? I rode for a short time a 29erm for the first time the other day. Granted it was a bloody fancy titanium IF frame. But it was really good I got up a climb easier than I ever had before I really liked it and would like to try more. I can even see myself owning one. However when I got back on my BFe I knew that I would never swap it for a 29er. My two bikes are perfect for my riding, I can see a 29 being useful if i did longer more xc rides but I don’t.

I can honestly say that riding your bfe has confirmed the fact to me that 26″ wheels suck , I have a set of 29er 140mm all ready to go on my new build 😀

I have one , needed a bit of playing with the joystick mount in order to fit

What engine is it, and what model.?

Will post pics up when built 😀

the pewter looks real nice up close and i also thought that when i chip or scratch it etc it wont show too bad

pewter, so far for the build i have bought flow rims evo hubs, rockshox dual position revs, reverb, thomson kit, and some stupid wide bars 😀

frame was delivered friday should have it all built up for next weekend, it looks **** luvverly though 🙂

looks like the transition bandit 29 i just bought 😀 only not as sexy

i dont remember much after the beerstop last year 😀

My bandit coming this week woohoo

just type in ten at the code box

what console?

I have a vizsla but shell be too young to cover large distances, so I really need a trailer for a year or so

Try the beaches, a great campsite lovely views and next to tintern Abbey. Or I think I’ve camped at christchurch 200yds from bracelands in the winter

I’ll vouch for tony as well, I went on one of his drops and jumps courses and ended up booking. A one on one definitely improved my riding 😀

I got a nate for sale they is grippier than a grippy thing

Niners break, fact but they ride real nice

Oh yeah baby 😀

New hardtail on way, but have ordered a transition bandit 29 as well 😀

Yeah, I’ve just ordered a big bouncy 29er, can’t wait

Think you can demo one at swinnertons

You got an itch pop 😀
