Interested to see who is still using a sub 120mm travel 26" FS instead of the usual 150-160mm enduro rig.

Who's got what?

Cheers.

Fashionably unfashionable.
SC Blur XC in Torridon (the last time it was ridden).

It mainly hangs up in the garage these days as the fatbike, 29er and CX options appeal more.

Kona 2+2 XC, not getting ridden much these days, but I'll not let go of it, fantastically capable bike for 100mm both ends, regardless of the unfashionable Magic Link.

I have an Orange ST4 (same as in matt_outandabout's piccy) with 120mm Rebas. In bits at the moment as I need to sort the bearings out, but it's the best bike I've owned and suits my type of riding perfectly.

No photos but my old 26" plastic Anthem held its own in the Peaks and many a trail centre, and until bigger wheels came along it felt so fast 🙁

Don't have any close up pictures of my Anthem X. Done everything on this from racing, (HtN here) to Passportes du Soleil. Will probably go 29er next time, but not more travel. [img] ?oh=887a962ac02cd1acd61e763f6794d7e2&oe=55056860&__gda__=1427139251_1ce4377f88f86cd44c494dfae0d80f91[/img]

I just washed mine down and locked it away before I saw this thread. Plus I've got some pimpin' bits to collect from the post office in the morning, so I'll try and get them on at lunch time for an afternoon pic.

So are 29er owners a bunch of illiterates who can't read past a title or pushy bastards who can't resist an opportunity to post off topic pictures of their clown wheels?

20% more IIRC 🙂

Actually that frame was 'too small' for me (I got it really cheap so thought I'd give it a go) which you can see and yet, other than on really steep climbs, it was my favourite bike yet. I was absolutely gutted when it broke.
