Will be in the market for a new HT frame soon.

This is due to a damaged frame and its going through the house insurance.

Looking for a HT, but something that I can SS without the tensioner.

Voodoo Wanga type thing(not sure if I get then new now)

Had a inbred and already got a Scandal in 29er flavour

Thoughts please, with pics if poss.

Ta

new inbreds apparently don't need tensioner with bolt, but do with qr. new "taperlock". Everything's tapered these days, it's the new black.

although if you've already got a scandal, and you have had one inbred already that's not going to be that exciting a purchase.

"ooh, i wonder what it'll be like....oh, it's just the same". still an nice bike though.

yeah, i'm no help, sorry.

Cotic Simple.

I've had a Wanga and Inbred and the Simple is much nicer.

I have had a Wanga and always regretted getting rid.

Trouble is getting a new frame nowadays.
It will be going through the LBS,and they can get hold of most things so will have to ask when I get the all clear from the insurance, although they do have a nice Rocky mountain Vertex in........

+1 for Love/Hate and all the praise to Dialled Bikes, mine is nearly ten years old and still going strong, love it, currently running in a 1x9 set up, and never fails to make me smile

Oh, and if you get a Love/ Hate, you need a pewter headbadge for it...

Just to round it off mind.. 🙂

Desperately want to put a suspension fork on it, as the rigid feels like it holds the bike back, very lively fun ride.
