It is Ok...good spec but I fancy a steel hard tail like my old kona cindercone 🙂
fancy a cotic soul, pipe dream or possibly a genesis?
bit manic today, aw ??
I loved my old Cindercone. I love my Orange P7 more. For all the same reasons. Have a look at the steel Voodoo Wanga's too. Lovely Joe Murrey designed frame, same as the Cindercone, but you can't run too big a fork on it. You can on the Orange. They really are a bloody great frame to ride!
Gotta be Cotic Soul.
Not owned one yet but it's my next project.
thx binners and tomkin...yes I am favouring the soul but might buy ready built...over £2k

Any chance of some photos please? Email in profile.
I am too short for a 20 inch frame sorry...
should I go second hand? Also I am not much of a bike builder so even if I go Soul I will need the LBS to build or buy pre-built option.
Soul or Solaris depending where you sit on wheel size. I've got a Soul and love it. Get your LBS to seat the headset as it's not worth buying a headset tool and the rest of the build is easy. You'll need a torque wrench for the bottom bracket / cranks. Have fun getting to know your bike - it all helps when it comes to maintenance too, a real saving in the long run.
Soul. I've ridden them since 2003, got a bfe in May this year, which is pretty good, but I miss the comfort and rear flex of a soul, so will be treating myself to another at Christmas. Going from bfe to soul saves a pound in weight too.
I got a Sanderson Soloist[img]

Very similar geo/feel to it.
You selling the Klein?
I have a Sanderson Breath, but also a Klein Attitude, obviously different to each other. You can have both! 8)
Pace RC104 - very comfy!
I bought a white 18inch Voodoo Bizango frame from ebay a while ago as I had always lusted after one - I already had an 18inch Voodoo Wanga.
It was £90. It is a bit scratched/chipped in places but nothing major and I planned on getting it resprayed and had sourced some of the new decals from Joe Murray (for it was him) at Voodoo.
In reality I am not going to do anything with it, and I am going to break down the Wanga as well as the garage can't hold anymore bikes and I need space for my other Turner build.
So if you are on a budget and fancy either then PM me.
Note that the bizango is lovely 853 steel, and is like this one:

As the designer was Joe Murray it is pretty much a 100mm Explosif.
And the Wanga has the advantage of Paragon sliding dropouts, so you can run it single speed or with a rear hub.
Dialled Albert classic 853 and £275.
Sonar, so do I! 😀

I'm thinking of selling my ns core. I've really loved it but got too many bikes. I'd let it go fully built pretty cheap
