'cos you never see On-ones on here! 🙂

tk - where's the 'zaki green scandal?? Not left the stable I hope?

Not pink ones! 😀

[img] [/img]

Fenred!

Nice to here from you, hope your ok!

Sadly, the green one has a new owner. Some nice chap in the s/w has built it up for his first 29er! I still have the two above but on the look out for a disc cyclo crosser now! 😉

I am feeling some love for the 29er... had a carpark size test ride last week and it was very fast and very lovely.

So I will probably wind up ordering one in a couple of weeks 😉

tk46hal- any idea what's happened with chainslapp? he seems to have vanished of the face of the riding world as was last seen selling bits of his new bike on here!

Hi Tazzy,

Long time since I've heard from you! Hope your ok.

Shaun's busy with work. I speak to him lots and he tells me that he's riding when he can, generally with his son etc. He still has his new matching pair of raw Scandal's though, but I'm pretty sure he will be back!

Aargh. I've got a brand new karate monkey sat in the garage that I am dying to build up but instead I'm sat at the foot daughters bed because because she's poorly 🙁

Rubbish photo....but loving the Horsethief...now running a CCDB air shock and bigger (and matching) tyres now...it's all good! Oh, and just ordered some 140mm forks...should be fun.

getting extra daddy points is more important though....may not feel like it right now, but it is (I've had this fact beaten into me)

Awful lot of Swifts about, happy campers?

... so ... Swift or Solaris or ... ?

Alandavidpetrie79...seeing those hubs on your green Solaris literally had me email Surly yesterday, to enquire about re-anodising my SS hubs in red. 🙂
But, will probably just go for a wheel swap to some TN719's on red Pro2's. They just look superb with green.

Random carbon eBay special frame, rides really nicely, striking resemblance to a Scott Scale IMHO

Awful lot of Swifts about, happy campers?

Well it's the STW non-niche niche bike of choice 🙂 I'm very happy with mine - full review I did a while back here:
http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/singular-swift-29er-and-suntour-epicon-rld-29er-fork-reviews

I've been lucky enough to enjoy two really, really good 29ers recently. I´m afraid that they are not very niche but they are not very mainstream either!

[img] [/img]
Mostly I have been riding the Commencal Meta 29er which is seriously fast and playful. I've put in over 60 days on this in the last few months and am really sad to give it back!
([url= http://www.bikerumor.com/2012/05/18/commencal-meta-am-29er-first-look-ride-impressions/ ]First Impressions, Í have to write the full review this week![/url])

[img] [/img]
I have also had a test ride on this and will pick it up for a long term test this week. An Orbea Occam 29er which is going to be a lot of fun. Less travel and more racey than the Commencal but seriously stiff and precise with fantastic suspension. Looking forward to using and abusing it over the next few months.

Burls Ti 29er

[img] [/img]

But, I am thinking of going back to a HT so am thinking of selling the frame...

@clubber thx I read

@bonesetter what's the first (ti?) of your pics?

^ Ti Kona Raijin, with Niner RDO CF forks. Very fast bike

Niner One9 set up for speed - now with added barends.

[img] [/img]

I've been thinking of a Niner MCR or Cotic Solaris set up to be a bit more trailly to go with it but the Singular offer from Sam is very tempting...

I can't get used to seeing 29ers with gears, and suspension after years of SS Rigiding.
But then again the only place I have taste is in my mouth, and with women obviously

My lastest
[IMG] [/IMG]

Shred - just out of interest what size in the tallboy? Ive got a Scott Scale 949 at the moment and thinking of doing the opposite of you and going to a full sus. If you fancy a swap or thinking about selling it drop me a message 😀

Started life as a Scandal but bought this Ti frame earlier in the year.

[IMG] [/IMG]

Awptechnical - you didn't source your parts via on-one by any chance? 😉

What chain is that??

Really liking the looks Cotic Solaris, cant warrant changing my Singular Swift though!

Cheers Steve

@ bonesetter what is the black 29er you have? looks like a jones? 😕
