Re: Re:

I was a "26" wheels till I die" kind of guy, right up to the first time I tried a funny wagon wheeled bike.... Now I'm completely sold, I love it!

Just wait til we get you on a fatbike!

Another one.





It's got gears now though.

Can a mod move these weird contraptions to the correct section?

 

[ultrazenith]

wow, some amazing bikes here. For the life of me I can't decide between going steel or carbon for a 'normal' 29er.

Re:

Picked the alloy frame up brand new for beenz on the bay, most of the other bits we had around the place except the wheels which are Hope / Stans tubeless.

I'm seeing lots of steel and rigid 29ers here What's the verdict from retrobikers - are rigid 29ers capable beasts?

I'm thinking of going with an On One Inbred 29 with rigid fork and (maybe) fat front wheel. Am I mad? Would a regular 29 front wheel be better?

Neil, does that carbon fork soften up the front end a bit, or is it more for weight saving?

THM, I never cease to be amazed at your ability to accumulate beautiful bikes! I love the El Mariachi ... how much did the frame set you back?

More than a pound but less than a kidney.

I agree : why those bikes in the retro chat ?
There's nothing retro in those bikes :?

 

[ultrazenith]

No, please keep it here. I like them. And I'm scared to look in the modern sections of this forum.

However, the same can't be said for the riders.
