  • Not full retro but not sure where else to post(well, a wanted ad obvs).

    I’m looking for something that may or may not exist...
    currently plodding around the new forest on my Ogre, don’t get me wrong, it’s a great bike but the 650x3.00” tyres are a major slog.

    So, I need a hardtail in my life: nothing fancy or overly modern(we’ve got many sets of 26” tyres in the house).

    Does the following combination of things exist or did 29er kill it all off earlier than I thought?

    • 26” clearance for 2.4 knobblies
    • triple
    • nice fork
    • all day comfort but still capable of some low-skilled radness
    • discs

    Did these things come together and easily found? In my mind I feel I should be able to find something that ticks all these boxes for cheap somewhere...

  • cotic bfe, previous generation? they're supposed to be great fun
    e.g.

  • That’s pretty much any mtb from 2008 onwards to 29er geddon (2012ish IIRC?)

    Earlier if u don’t want a 2.4”

    You can probably get a 2.35 in the back of a carbon XC rig from 2010. Not that you would need to.
