Not usually a gratuitous 'new bike' photo spammer, but I'm really chuffed with the way this turned out, so wanted to share it.

Nice looking bike that.
I really like what Talbot are doing - especially the Trollstigen. That 29er is also my cup of tea. I'm guessing you're of above-average height...
[80's schoolboy] that's proper lush mister [/80's schoolboy]
Very nice. Beautifully finished work that. Hope it ride as as well as it looks!
Very nice that! Those dropouts are ace
Like that, especially the hose routing, out of the way from snagging on the undergrowth.
I'm guessing you're of above-average height...
Yeah, 6'7" with a long torso. Been riding a 24" Surly Ogre for a couple of years and using that to fine-tune my riding position. Then took the contact point placement and carried it across to something that would handle a little differently, with short stem/wide bar and a ( comparatively ) decent amount of standover clearance.

Left about 15mm's worth of spacers to play with, as it's a bit nerve-wracking, cutting down a custom fork 😯
Nice details !
