 Tallboy.jpg  Tallboy.jpg  After my post re: Anyone ride a Tallboy I picked mine up yesterday.

Its a lovely bike and very well built (not sure about the colour but it was the only one available) as you would expect from Santa Cruz. I was disappointed when I weighed it as it was 14kgs and I had hoped it would have been nearer 12kgs. However, when I rode it this morning it pedalled much better than I expected uphill and on the flat although a bit "chattery" on the rocky descents which I expected for such a short travel bike. It won't ever replace my Yeti SB140 but for most trail riding it will be my "go to" bike.

Is a wild animal kept in the enclosure behind the bike?

You should've watered the lawn - those paving slabs won't grow no matter how much water they get.

Very nice - that's the colour I'd be going for; it's a big, daft toy at the end of the day.

Looks great. I like the colour, personally. Any plans for it? Or just riding as is for now?

Like the dino enclosure behind, looks secure.

Lovely colour, still never had a full suspension (and never likely to), but that weight is lighter than my hardtail and way lower than my fatbike!

Hope you enjoy it..

Just you with picture posting problems…

Nice is that, including the colour.

Happy days! I’ve fancied one of them for ages, since my poor Smuggler died.

Enjoy!
