"They look like normal bikes with 26" wheels!"

How much do you want for the Thudbuster. And is it 27.2?

Also one day I'll buy your Surly Ogre. Possibly. Let me know if you ever sell it.

Don't use it on this bike, and not using it on the next one.

Ah, sorry, the Thudbuster's a 31.6 :-(

ok, no worries. Thanks.

X-Fusion fork now for sale

Also, @tallsam , you have first dibs on the Ogre :-)

Edit - after sparky, who I now remember first asked about 5 years ago.

What I have so far

#chuckable

I'm so glad you lot don't really know what things irritate me :-)

More importantly, what colours are you going for this time?

What's the general 'pinion about those gear boxes. Is it the future of cycling?

what happened to the full sus?
is it a pinion? have they got better engagement than they used to? heard some chat about that

All of them

I doubt they're the future of cycling in general, but I've really enjoyed using a gearbox offroad, so would like another one to try.

what happened to the full sus?

Postponed, not cancelled :-)

is it a pinion? have they got better engagement than they used to?

It is. They can slow down the engagement, due to the gearbox having its own freewheel mechanism. You counter this somewhat by fitting a high engagement singlespeed rear hub.

heard some chat about that

From Luke? I spoke to Nelson about the engagement thing, and he said that he'd been using a shitty rear hub, so that really hadn't helped.

The Rohloff has slow engagement, and that's never been a problem.

so this is an e-bike?

Solar powered

This one's rubbish

cool!
high engagement rear hub = nice buzzy noise too
can't wait to see this bike
