Some neat bikes here..
That Trek...^^^
Tried an identical one the other week. Amazing.
Not in the least bit envious of course. 🙂
Here's mine: 2012 Flash Alloy. It's great. Got my eye on a full susser for next year, but need to save up the bucks!

This was mine for almost an hour. But I am building one up as an Xmas present to Me... In a bigger frame size.
Those are 29 x 3.0 wheels, they are big, but in this picture it looks like a 26er?
Great set up for Ashton court. The big wheels roll fast, the big foot print means higher cornering speeds, 1x10 is handy in places, and at Ashton, really no need for telescopic suspension, damned big tyres were fine.
Is that a Krampus your riding Charlie ?
If so how was the mud clearance ?
Mpw... Yep a surly krampus, with the pre production yokes (actual bikes will have more clearance) . Damned muddy race, and no tyre clearance issues what so ever.
I mention It in this high quality, big budget video..... You can see there are no mud issues going on....
Is that the tube sticking out through the internal rim-cut outs there Charlie? (The atmospheric no-expense-spared blurry effect you've put on that video makes it hard to see). What is a 'rabbit hole rim'?
Flange..
That thing not built up yet?
You do know some of us are waiting with baited breath yeah?
Gerramoveon.
+1 Flange, i've just re-discovered your original thread in my favourites, 2 months since the last up date!
I've just got this one.....

Your bars look longer than your bike 😉
Great lookin' bike tho, would love one of those.
Not mine but possible lottery win bike

Another Inbred. Want to put some flat bars on, but otherwise liking it at the moment. I probably should have bought an 18" frame, but i already had a 400mm seat post so it's not a massive issue.

^^ Loving those swifts!
Your bars look longer than your bike
750mm, so that's a good 25% more than the ETT. (60mm stem flipped and slammed). The jury's still out on this setup to be honest.
I've put a 2.35 Hans Dampf on the front, it was brilliant for ploughing straight through the mud and 6 inch deep puddles on Saturday in Surrey. It's basically a singlespeed tractor. Point and go.
if i must
you must
[i]Slightly OT [/i] But what would you be after for the wheels Mr P? ^^^
Mister P, are you liking the fortitude? can you provide an overview please?! As i'm drawn to them....
Looking for £100 posted for the wheels. They are 4 months old and are pretty much unmarked. E-mail me mark.pearson AT madison.co.uk and I will sort some pics out.
TBH the Fortitude is only really used as a fat tyred hybrid for commuting. I like it though, it is pretty racey thanks to a low front end and carves nicely now I have 720mm flat bars on it. I really do need to get it on a proper off road trip at some point but work and family seem to take up all the time I used to have for riding.
not so clean now.

Gerramoveon.
Apologies gents - it is actually built up now but as mentioned just waiting on the seat post turning up. Because its built for racing on I probably won't use it this year now (too nasty to trash that rear mech) so I've been happy to leave it in the shop. However, I'm back to Suffolk this weekend so will go armed with SLR and get some pictures of it.
I can report after a brief spin that it is hilariously quick, and the Di2 stuff had me laughing like a mad man...its mint!
