Monster, Monsteur, Monstour , 26/29+ and Expedition and Adventure bikes

That's what I'm thinking. I mean unless a big stone actually jams in there it's not going to damage it. Gearing with be 34-50 up front and 32-11 at the back. That should be good enough for most trails.

Bring on the winter!

That ^ is rad!

Sooooo very rad. Love it.

Only just noticed this thread.

Here's my commuter, aim was to build something indestructible. Feels solid as a rock, quick and tons of grip.

That's awesome. Looks like it'd be fast as fuck on the descents.

Hah, thanks, it's got a different cassette now to be honest. Not too many hills here.

That looks insane. Paint it black and it'd be a proper sleeper. What drivetrain combo are you running?

Drivetrain is Shimano, Zee RD and shifter and a 5600 crankset.

Had enough black bikes so rolled this with primer (very clean paint process that)

Anyone interested in a new set of Schwable Smart Sam tyres 27.5 (650b) x 2.1" looking for £20 plus postage. Going to need to go down to a 2.0" for my Croix de Fer as it's a juuuuust too tight with the 2.1"

PM if interested

Carabo, What's the frame?

It's a Gossini frame, which is a bikeshop house brand. Fairly generic.

singletrack goodness

Look like any BMX U-brake. Odyssey Evo ones are really good.

Your bike looks flipping pimp by the way. Orange outers were a good call.

I know nothing of BMX. thanks!

as @Chak said BMX U brakes...frankenbrakes, a mix of Colony, Fly and Salt

Anyone fancy a full campagnolo mtb?
