You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Hey all,
I really wanted one of these a little while ago but knew even less than I do now about bikes so went for an off the shelf bike, but my curiosity has been tickled again recently.
Has any body out there got any experience of them? I'm looking for a bit of a play bike to build from scratch early next year so I'm just starting the research stage.
Thanks in advance
Sam
sorry to bring this up again but my curiosity needs a scratch

Now theres a good idea 🙄 will mail him and see what he's got to say.
Is it silly getting an older frame to do up? what are the moderner (is that a word) equivalents?
Nina, super report ten out of ten 😀
@Iamsam: I've just built up my Pha5e & I've got to say that I love it! I'm 5.10'' & have the 14'' frame so it's on the small side, the way I want it.
Super stiff back end but the seat post is so long (I use a 400mm maxed out) that it feels comfortable enough. I've got Talas 140mm too which suit great.
All in all, I've only spent about 1.3k on it to build it the way I want, again - it's lush! One mod to the frame I made: I got a Dremmel & drilled out the cable routing fully so I could get a full length gear cable to the back. It did the job & I'm now on the look out for a tin of anti radar green to tidy up.
I wish I knew how to post pictures on here with ease, I'd love to show it off, it has what I consider to be the prettiest ass of any hard tail.
Does anyone know the head angle? It does feel tighter than my Scott Octane (that's set up to 67 degrees) & I know it's tighter than my SC Nomad.
stay safe everyone. 😉
