You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Cos I'll be buggered if the search button does anything useful.
No, but then there ain't much to discuss!
Yeah, good point 🙂
Theres this. Its a little bit less "experimental" than the mk4, a degree steeper HA and lower offset fork. Comes in two sizes.
+ it's boost. Which is either a positive if you're into that, or a negative if you already own decent wheels that are 15/142.
Oh yeah if you want one you'll have to be quick.
60% of the frames have been sold before they've been painted......

Embrace the boost. Means you can run 1x12 and big tyres without tyre chain contact. Adapters are like a fiver on ebay.

Already have a Mk4, so whilst the Scrambler appeals, I won't be buying one.
I was being slightly facetious about boost 😉
I've got one on pre-order.
I've always fancied a stooge since I first saw them but being over 6 foot they were too small. I missed out on the large MK3 so I jumped on this when I saw that there would be a large.
Really excited for it, just need to decide whether to build it geared or singlespeed.
I like the look but my wheels aren't boost and I dont need 12 speed
Designed around 650b+ thankfully my wheels are non boost 😅🙈
Hopefully it's better looking than that God awful thing on the classifieds atm 😂

Had to have a look to see what you were on about - there's a couple on there.
Scrambler in 29er set up. Should be able to get a 29x2.4 in the back ok? 2.6 pushing it?
I've a Stooge mark 2 but the scrambler doesn't look much different or am I missing something? Would like to ride them back to back to see if I could feel a difference.
Pictures are up on facebook, yellow looks great.
I've a green one on order and first non-26er.
Anyone else ordered?

Yeah I think its back to a geometry that works well for all day bikepacking etc and 27.5 plus.... not as "out there" as a Mk4. But with the brilliant biplane fork for more comfort and boost spacing bringing it up to date.
I'm loving my 29 / 29 plus Mk4 at the moment!
That looks ace!!!
Literally all the wants on these. Good job the large have sold out!
More coming in the new year apparently
wzzzz

Eh, weirdly my 12x142 bike can do that, and it wasn't even designed to take plus tyres. 3.0 and 1x12 no bother at all.
That looks mellow. In a good way.
Mine has arrived today (thanks Andy), same colour as up there & looks the same colour in the flesh. Will be built up slowly this autumn as bits arrive in stock in the UK.
wish I hadn’t seen that
Adapters are like a fiver on ebay.
What am I searching for?
I absolutely love mine, makes me feel 10 again!
Can’t post pics but have a build thread over on Retrobike if there’s any interest

Interesting colour scheme 🙂
The frames look great though, I almost impulse bought the last of the 20" stock. Hoping he does another batch in a few months when I can actually afford it.
Damn I should not have looked at this thread.
I thought I had all the bikes I want..
Right up your street Brian.... sans rear mech (obviously) 😉
New ones arriving in Spring, apparently with a v minor tweak or two - maybe new colors?
I’ll hang out for these, but on the off chance, if anyone with one of the first batch is looking to sell, please say!
I have no need for a Stooge but I've been looking at them and wanting one since the Mk1, because I just like them, and I'm increasingly worried that the Mk5 might be when I finally crack. I vene have a little folder where I've bookmarked all the parts for it.
PSA: new batch of scramblers available to pre-order now 👍
