[Closed] Show us your Super niche 29ers!

Mine's in for a service (can't remove the crank as the thread seems to have been damaged).
Missing her already!

Oh no! you could always beat it with a hammer and screwdriver........ or maybye thats a bad idea 😳

wow thats burly....

dont think there are many of these two knocking around
[IMG] [/IMG]

mine is as common as muck so won't grace this thread 😥

Tazzymtb, nothings too common!

[IMG] [/img]

jones are common on here now.......
at least 4 people own them now............. 😉

Yeah,but they have all got the ladie's version 😉

😆

mine has gears, full suspension and a frame too big for anyone else. Thats pretty niche for 29ers around here.

There's only one of these in the UK.

Strictly speaking there's one one of these anywhere as it's custom built. 😉

I won't post a picture of my "ladies" bike as like Ton said they're getting to be very common on here now. 😛

Yea, I think ton would like one of these, it would suit him well

Lenz - a bike design so ugly only a mother could love them!

Hehe, yes, in isolation Lenz frames do look odd. Bit more normal built up. All comes from one man in a shed, fab'd out of flat plate...

Think I saw that Lynskey loitering around the Co-op last night?

Not seen another one in the flesh yet, apologies for the crap pic!

[img] [/img]

lol was you leaving your bike out to dry off!

[img] [/img]
super nice too

What is that sofaking - can't make it out?? Presume forks are BS?

not too many knocking about in the UK (prob a lot more in the states with the public release of the frame) but the 2 of the bosses i worked for in the bike shop have one

not niche in the slightest (tho ive not seen another in the flesh) but i likes it 😉 now with fleegle bars on instead
[IMG] [/IMG]
my old 29er poss a bit more niche not really sure ?
[IMG] [/IMG]

Mick is there much difference between the Surly and Singular? How does the ride differ please?

WHAT!! - my Jones is no longer niche? - Better get rid of it then 🙁

andy not been out enough yet on the surly to make a proper judgement really. It seems to climb better and is better in tight twisty stuff but that could down in part to the set up difference or my fitness / or lack of it 🙂 the punctures are more of a pain in the rear on the monkey:-) im liking it so far tho

Only one that looks like this.....

[img] [/img]

John_I - I think that's the only 29er I've ever seen that I like the look of. Nice.

oh andy the surly is a size smaller so again that will play a part in the difference. both very good tho and sam is great to deal with as are surly

Clink.

Sofaking's bike is a fake Phill Woods Pissoff.

😛 @ Matt.

This one's quite niche too being a prototype.

That Lenz atrocity is just about one of the ugliest bikes I've seen. [img] [/img]

good to see most of the above are dirty and not the usual STW never leave home pics

coogan.

To say that you think 29ers are "clown bikes" you do a fare bit of looking at 29er threads...

how dare you woksmuggler
and whats to say your blacksheep is a real one, i heard you got it from halfords really

Not Halford. That's too upmarket for me.

It was on special offer at Argoose. 😉

How much are those niner forks. That is ****ing bling.

johnclimber, the jones is not niche now.
ssstu said so earlier in this post.

if someone was to get the 1st of a kind, that would be superniche, right?

I can't remember as it was part of a package.

Phone Matthew at Chevin on 01943 462 773 and ask for a discount (sorry Matthew)

If there are only 2 SS's with the fat wheel in the country I call that niche(ish) 😉

But I always bow to SSStu's knowledge

I can always do with a right good laugh.

It didn't really make any difference to me.

I just took the p1ss out of Don via text and email instead of on here. 8)

Your idea of a right good laugh is looking at something you claim not to like....

Your right, I don't like them. But it doesn't stop the fact that they are funny to look at.

But it doesn't stop the fact that they are funny to look at.

They ride great though.

Just like your mom. 😯 😉

She's funny looking too. Knew you 29er fanboys were freaks.

I rode mine with a skinny front wheel today for the first time. Wow - talk about responsive in the twisty singletrack 🙂 Much more so than my 26er. It's a myth that 29ers suffer from slow steering.

I just took the p1ss out of Don via text and email instead of on here.

where is the other wok jockey anyway ?
is he still in russia ?

He's on his way home now.

Ask him about the taxi drivers in Moscow.

I think he got a bit scared. 🙄

do they like red heads over there then ? 😛

anyone got/ridden a santacruz tallboy? those rad doodz at dirt have had a couple of articles saying how good it is. onyl by 3rd party contributers so it cant come back to bite them, obviously.

Class line Stu, I may just steal it 😉

My LBS are getting one in for me to try out.

Or so I've been told by another customer...

there have been a couple tallboys on here, quick search should bring them up

[img] [/img]

Not niche, but as I have just built it...

Mine: at Devils Dyke today, on one of my favourite trails.

[img] [/img]

I was going to say - well I've never seen another Jones on the trails - but I bumped into Napalm, with his, on the Downs today - so I can't even say that.

However - I think mine is the only non EBB Fat Spaceframe out there, ah....... niche at last 🙂

Stripped for a respray....

Stripped for a respray....

looks suspiciously inbred like...

fontmoss - Member
looks suspiciously inbred like...

Not with that cable routing and EBB

Who sells Jones in the UK?

Jones are direct

FRC ooh on the downs! that trail looks like sharon... give me an email if you fancy some south downs niche riding....

Best to talk to Jeff Jones direct - he's quite happy to discuss his bikes over the phone.

http://www.jonesbikes.com/

JRTG - I didn't know it was called Sharon 🙂 Ran my Endo at 6psi today - I think I've found the sweet spot.

The steel Jones look nice. Anyone ridden one (I expect not)?

FRC, whoops i think sharon is on the other side of the valley! (everyone likes going down on sharon....hence it's name). 6psi, not bad!

Clink.

I think Biff has a steel Jones.

Why do some anti 29er trolls refer to 29ers as clown bikes?
I always thought clown bikes came with wee wheels tather than big ones, like this

[img] [/img]

Clink,

For some reason my original reply has gone 😕 its a Pofahl

i mquite open to the idea of a 29er though ive never tried one. got a feeling they wont suit what i like to do though which is shorter rides with plenty of nadge. i get they are more suited to distance, all day type stuff rather than hooliganism? be honest, can you throw them around like a tough trailbike?

be honest, can you throw them around like a tough trailbike?

yeah i intend to at some point, dont know anyone who rides one so ill have to book a demo or two.
