stem's too long. to reap the benefit of the fork / steering input you need a 50mm / 70mm stem on that rig.
do it, rip it and enjoy it 🙂

Looks freakin huge, and spacer on top of stem looks weird, but cracking bikes, sure you'll love it!

so many spacers because i am huge and need them.
and the top one is all i had lying about and needed to ride it.
got to be honest, they do seem to be a bike that brings the child out in you.
spent the ride looking for stuff to jump off or to try and get over.
must be a subconscious thing, like you have heard that you can ride anything on a stiffee, so you try and find stuff to prove that theory.
i normal spend a ride with my tyres on the ground mostly, but on this they did tend to leave the ground a bit more..... 8)

Yep limited edition silverfish specced up a standard stiffee with full race face deus kit and hope minis with custom wording on the rotors. A friend of mine had one spent his student loan on it.

Nope it was pre the 29er thing and the name was purely in line with coves naming scheme.

Crumbs! [i]How[/i] big is that front ring?

Looks like a fun bike & you can probably run over landmines with those hoops.

Me like!
