SSMTBs

thread off to a rocky start. some gems, but some others belong in "functional" or "rat"

@7Üp and @Smallfurry should enjoy this particular colour scheme :-)

Mmmm anodising

You've owned a few, and yet you think they are junk? Why own more than one? DN6 is butted Cro-mo, the same as everyone else's basic hard tails and most bmxs, it's just their daft name for it. They flog off seconds at cheap prices, my 456 was one, perfect aside from the head badge decal being slightly skew-whiff.

Weenies don't care about chainwear. 6.3kg

YES! to Ari

Reaaaaaaally want a Jones

Tan/Whitewalls on an MTB that's gonna get used are.. confusing.

had this but sold it to fund a bid which i didn't win. it had 2.4" ardents but no pics from that setup unfortunately.

Gotta stop looking in here, developing serious want for a mtb again. And sing speed. Out of curiosity, what's the cheapest but usable option to buy otp? Could build up from used stuff I guess but wouldn't mind going the 650b route.

Cheapest is probably this

Cannondale Trail SL 29 SS?

Or this ;-)

21" Kona Explosif

Your best bet is to look on the Singletrackworld classifieds regularly, should be able to pick up something functional for a couple of hundred quid.

I can recommend kona unit if you can live with the wheel size. they usually get discounted when the new models come. if you can find a 2014, they have a quite cool raw finish.
