SSMTBs

Ordered :)

Now, do I really need to replace the stock wheels that came on my Haro Mary with some Hope Trials & Pro 2/Crest?

Crests are nice race rims, but depending on your weight, you might want to go for Arch EX instead, for a bit more peace of mind.

I'm putting your name down for the Gas Hill Gasp this year.

Well, I am built for climbing.....

Simple but effective...

Well, I am built for climbing on.....

That's gotta be an even longer stem than the 13cm on my Salsa SSMTB!

Possibly. Those Salsa stems were available in a 150mm length

Also some bizarre angles O.o

Meanwhile, back in this century...

^^ such want.

That brake lever angle though.

I can fix that

Such mechanic, so skills....

etc

I can't get past the tyre logos being at 180° to each other.

The bike that first turned me onto the idea of SSMTB.

Really nice apart from the neg stem, flat bar and spacers. It's like a cockpit that can't decide what it wants.

Beefy 32/16 used daily in the Surrey Hills

PJP - what grips are they?

@ds3000

They are like ergon grips. Not entirely sure as they were given to me. The cotic is a bit of a test/rat bike for parts
