[Closed] Let's see your rigid bikes...

very nice!

I reckon there's going to be a bit of crossover on the SS thread!

Here are my two rigid 90's singlespeed mtbs (one's pushing your no road bikes rule!)

Themuffinman, I'm pretty sure your tinbred was one of the inspirations for mine, as you kept posting pics on here 11 years ago!! So here's mine still going strong too!

Skinny tyres for an adventure race I did a short while back.

Semi fat Swift

Also use it with more conventional 29er rubber but I'm seriously considering selling those wheels as it's brilliant with the b+ ones.

Got to be the oldest here, abused but makes me smile when it gets muddy and slippy, hence mudguards. Also "Strap it on, holiday" bike. Fillet brazed.

stu- I love your green jones, my black is getting tatty now having kicked the hell out of it for a good few years, repaint coming up soon and a green may well be the answer.

[img] [/img]

Lots of people with dangley things hanging off the back of their bikes.. You're doing it wrong ! 😉

Nah, we're not tryhards 😉

98 Zaskar

it's a proper one

Giant Cadex HCM3, cromo rear triangle and lugs and carbon main tubes, I keep meaning to roadify this at some point, eventually...
[img] [/img]

I really like your Cotic otsdr - I still can't get use to the tiny front/large rear chainset/cassette setup nowadays. I'm used to a big-ring!

Deev - you seem have suspension on that GT!

Themuffinman, I'm pretty sure your tinbred was one of the inspirations for mine, as you kept posting pics on here 11 years ago!!

Yep - a lot of bikes have gone through the shed in that time. But the Tinbred remains.

Taz.
The green is so much better than that dull silver one I had before. 😉

it's a 98 Judy, it doesnt work very well anymore!

No longer mine but it was fun while it lasted..

[img] [/img]

stu-less likely to suddenly and spontaneously come apart in a series of expensive and no longer connected bits of tube as well 😀

Here's mine. I've not had a bike with suspension for about 4 years now.

I love riding this bike...
[IMG] [/IMG]

Almost all of my bikes are rigid, but several fall into that kinda broad gentleman's-day-bike / dirt-road-sport-tourer / gravel /monstercross genre (so look a bit 'road' I guess).

Here's my Swift from earlier this week, as this is probably the most MTB-like bike I own.

Rubbish picture, great bike.

loving all the Jones! I'd love to join the club, but the Inbred is more in my price range just now. That said, all the Hope kit wasn't cheap...

Jameso, I love that graffiti! Sums up a lot of the appeal of long distance riding.

The lower the lows, the higher the highs.

Where was it?

Don't think I've seen a carbon rigid bike yet.

Starting to think my C456 Evo is one of a kind.

I've always been slightly envious of this bike, by far one of the best looking I've seen for a long time

Universally loathed by everyone, I alternate between love and hate depending on the hammering I'm getting from the trail at that time.

[img] [/img]

My only MTB, managed to get 4th at Big Dog on it. Keep on debating whether to give my hands a rest and get some suspension.

That was his third and last attempt to build me a frame.
I think the first two are in a bin somewhere...

psycorp - nope. I'll post a pic of my SS GF Superfly carbon with Niner forks when I figure out how. Oh - and after I've actually taken a pic of it....

Need to get a better pic really

A bit out of date (cranks and tyres have changed) but still doing good service. Trying to shake the 29+ bug though.....

Now I want a Krampus! (as well) :o)

Ned, it was on the Camino Frances in Spain. Great route if you like trail graffiti.

😀 Same guy all along, is it?

[img] [/img]

Now with Jones bars.

My Sola....

[img] [/img]

Not as fantastic as many of the bikes here, but I've put this together for DaughterSeadog who is heading off to Uni. Created out of a Carrera Valour frame, Mosso forks, bits and pieces bought cheap, things swapped of other bikes, and things in the parts bin.

Painted badly so as not to attract too much tea leaf interest. Yes I know the front mudguard is a bit too far off the wheel, but thats the best we could do without silly amounts of bodge.

Rides very nicely.

Not wanting to be left out...Ragley Big Wig in current rigid set up with possibly the ugliest forks known to man.
Rides great though.

I know...steerer, brake hoses, end plugs, grass etc etc

singlespeedstu - I wouldn't be too evious if I were you.

Liking the bigwig!

My Swift, just before putting me in a swamp, and tearing my legs off on Weds. It's a love/hate thing.

Liking the bigwig!

yes, it's a bit portly but a bit underrated - don't think they made them for very long for some reason, but pretty flexible frame if set up appropriately. Slack enough with a long travel fork for some fun downhill, but not too bad XC either.

So I've got this IO -
[img] https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/G1XVbyjkl3Okducxh45XOP0VzB1cNL3DyJCZ4X6yRj0=w1371-h1028-no [/img]

And I was going to retire it as bought a cheap 29er and it does the job better (dog walks, trips to shops etc)... then I find the trailer's connecting arms don't reach the axle past the 29er wheel! So the Genesis lives on.

Mainly use mine for commuting these days but still like to do some proper rides on it now & again to remind me how good modern bikes are. This was on a 30 mile Quantocks ride, I usully like to do some of the triscombe d/h runs & the chimney just to make things interesting 😆

My gorgeous 94 Kilauea, recently had a full nut and bolt restoration, bought new in 1994 by me. Probably the only possession I have which I will never ever sell and that I would be genuinely upset if it was stolen.

Oh and it rides like a dream too. 🙂

robdob - recently had a full nut and bolt restoration

Should get his delivered next week.....

Might handle rubbish but still looks good

handles brilliantly when you get a james made forks and bar for it rather than slapping a boingy frontage on what it doesnt like 😀

My recently purchased 1994 Marin Bobcat Trail:

Rides well, very smooth and feels quite fast, have stuck some semi-slicks on now as it won't get any proper off road use I don't think.

SS Genesis iO:

Frame & Pipedream fork off classifieds, parts bin/lbs parts bin/cheap as poss. online for the rest. Being painted or powder coated soon, but not sue what colour - any ideas welcome!
