Double post

Just waiting to buy a red salsa seat clamp to go with it to finish it off 🙂

Got to love raw/silver hardtails.

2 identiti bikes in one thread, unprecedented!
I desperately need some bouncy forks but have completely run out of money 🙁

All year round, every type of riding 🙂

This is quiet - are all the 26ers just gathering dust?

Where better than on top of Winter Hill?

[img] [/img]

It's a lot muddier than this now...

Not my winter bike but my HT in the winter.

I use both bikes all year round.

After some much needed TLC at the weekend, all set for the oncoming muddiest

genesis io alfine 8 with medusas. the heckler hasnt had a look in for weeks since i started riding it on my regular saturday morning epping ride. 32t front and 20t rear with a kmc ss chain and it hasn't needed a tweak.

[img] [/img]

2006 Kona Explosif with Alfine 8 speed. Great for winter.

Steel is real etc etc. The full suzzer has hardly been used since i put this together

[img] [/img]

Tell me about it adrec. Since I bought that P7 my full suss has barely seen the light of day. I can't see that changing any time soon

Mine, photo taken when first built up, has been out and muddied up now 🙂

Winter bike!

Alfine'd 456 EBB prototype at the top of Tonelagee (aka backside to the wind) late one night.

[img] [/img]

And here's my old Blender in the snow to fulfil the winter criteria

[img] [/img]

Oh how I wish I never sold the Pikes, they felt perfect. Anyone want to swap their dual air u-turn pike for a coil u-turn Sektor?!

Changed a bit since then, and my new SSCX might be seeing more use this winter ('[i]more[/i] use' is a relative term with a newborn baby around).

+1 for an Orange Pure 7 here.

I've already chucked a Minion DH up front and I've an HR for the back, unless anyone has any better all weather winter ideas?

The bike that was the first frame that porter_jamie's replaced but never got assembled-

[img] [/img]

because most of the parts went on to this-

[img] [/img]

which is my all year round bike.

Not strictly a winter bike but currently "winterised" with mudguards and probably the bike I'll be riding tomorrow night if I manage to get out with the MTB Berkhamsted group.

20ish pound rigid singlespeed, a lot of fun in the snow

Just built this up for the winter.... Homade chainguide has been replaced as it only lasted 1 ride!

Finally got round to sorting out the seating on my Blender. Think I might change the old BG saddle for a brown Spoon though.

[img] [/img]

Never really understand winter bikes or why they have to be hard tails. I just have bikes. They ride all year, in sun, dust, rain, mud and snow. But anyway....

[img] [/img]

Same tyres, chain, pedals, (no)mud-guards and even chain oil for winter as in summer.

Actually the pic here has Ignitor on the back. That's was just on there as the usual High Roller had a hole in it so awaiting replacement. Tried the Ignitor for a bit as had it lying around, but wasn't keen on it even as a summer tyre.

Think I might change the old BG saddle for a brown Spoon though.

Never do that.

Here's mine.

Now sporting XT brakes, On one Stainless chainring & ESI grips.

[img] [/img]

EDIT, wow, my phone takes gash pictures

Never do that.

I have a bit of a thing for brown saddles on raw bikes though. But the black doesn't look too bad.

About to get absolutely filthy in an hrs time after i have my tea, sink what remains of this bottle of viognier and pluck up the courage to head out for a nightride in the rain wi a full hipflask and 5000 lumens of light on the bars.

another all year hardtail, lights on for winter.

Earlier today.

nedrapier : i like your idea of lights, what sort of burn time do you have 😀

That's my idea of a xmas tree

somafunk - burn time is indefinite: limited only by wanting to ride the thing more than 6 feet from the wall socket.

Well it's got one 26" wheel. Currently set up as commuter but tends to be the first bike I grab out the shed as it's so much fun.....
