Custom steel 29er

beautiful. Kudos for putting gears onto it and not making me swear because I put my effort into opening a page to see a sigle speed in it!


love the seatstays bridge. Just out of curiosity. How do those skinwall Onzas perform? Did you convert them to tubeless?

Hey

The amberwall Onza tyres worked very well in the dry conditions of last summer.

Thanks for the kind words. I've done over 2000 miles on this bike and love it.

Steel rig. Rigid forks. No nonsense build. It spells miles.

That's a beauty, nice work!

Bikes lie this make wish I was two sizes smaller,

Enjoy!!

A bit of an update on Joes custom 29er…
After not being used for a while and after being loaned the bike on a couple of occasions I managed to get Joe to let me buy the bike from him. ( on the understanding if ever got bored of it he would have it back ).
He has got no chance on this as once ridden you know this bike is a keeper.
It is the nicest, most comfy hardtail I have ever ridden. I love it.
I had a bit of an issue with the top tube cable stop cracking when I fitted a dropper so decided it needed a bit of alteration and a new paint job.
The boys at Blue Whippet Paintworks did a cracking job of the new paint fade scheme.
Spec was altered and cable stops removed to make it run 1 x 11 earlier this year and I have put a few miles one it since then. Just changed the tyres this week for a bit of winter knobbles rather than the semi slick things from the last photo.
Looking forward to getting some off road in over the next few months.
I even managed to get Joe to part with the road bike brother of this frame that is on here somewhere and I’ll update this at some point
