I love the look of Shand bikes.
just look like any steel hardtail, still as long as they ride nice.
Here is mine - posted the same pic before but this was from the day it was finished. Steel, rigid, old school. [img]

(crosses fingers that the images will display...)
cant find any online pics of mine.
its currently got a tensioner at the back, and its FUUUGLY.
do we reckon its worth 20 quid to get a tensioner that goes at the front around the BB purely for asthetic purpouses?

Are there any front end ones that actually work well? I seem to remember the last time I heard of this being tried the front end tensioner failed to keep tension. Neatest solution is a frame with an EBB. When i can afford it I'll be having one.
i like gary's 😉
Slightly different spec now, but you get the idea

It'd probably easier to give you my wishlist. There are still a few to make into 'mamas bikes' 😉
South Downs at Christmas...

South Downs at Easter....

Doing the South Downs summer excursion tomorrow 🙂
what ratio's does everyone have? me being a ss vergin i was going for 32:16 or 32:18? whats the difference?
32:16 is the standard and probably the best to try. The Bonty is now 34:16, a bit tall for me but the clean lines of no tensioner win. Yes i'm a tart. 🙂

Mine - cos I like it

Thank god no one bought this off me. Missus sort of pointed out the number of bikes in the shed and suggested the sale if a Plexi was to come in to the house.
Thanks to all on STW who DIDNT buy it.
Such good fun

These threads always make me want to SS my bike again! 1x9 is good but I still get skipping issues and dropped chains over bumpier stuff (plus gears look messy). It gets worse when the mud piles on. Convince me why I should/shouldn't go ss 😆
mud monster - is that a 1.1/4 headtube Yeti?
If you need convincing it might not be for you.
