Let's offroad / mountain bike / mtb / ride dirt

It’s a Fuji bighorn XL

You know they make an XXL, right?

480 reach in XL. That's longer than my stashe. He must be a giant like you to need a 100mm stem on that.

6 foot 4 so not a complete freak though kids have shouted giant at me once
XXL something might be the way to go then yeh. Not in love with the Fuji, the frame was free so any other ideas on XXL boost 29er or 29+ frames?

I'm thinking this thread could now be renamed to 'Just get a Cotic Solaris' :-)

Sadly ( for me also ), there's no XXL option

Got a budget for the frame/bike?

Just get a marino

Just get a marino

Need a review from @platypus first

Cheap ideally, hence riding a free low end frame currently! I don’t ride that much so it’s not worth spending a fortune, but when I do ride it’s all rocky, steep peaks so I really feel the bad position. It’s also really obvious doing 30 day wheelie challenge at the moment!
Trek seem to do larger frames that aren’t insanely expensive but I’d have to look at geo charts

Kona big honzo. 520 reach in xl, clearance for 29x2.6, and if you can find it the frame can be had for 300 quid.

BTR? geometron? Christ those are some ugly looking bikes!

Probably should stick to cross.

Thanks that’s a bit more like what I’m used to! Only ever briefly owned a Kona too so that would scratch that itch

Need a headset for my Crush, would like King but looking at other options, ZS4428.6 EC44/40

I see Nukeproof and Hope
Any suggestions

Nothing by Cane Creek ( 40 or 110 ) in that size?

Ah yes, the 40, good shout

Although I'm not a fan of how the bottom cup looks

Ok, that's the one, cheers Phil

Jealous. I keep visiting the page and not clicking buy

It's a damn chunk cheaper than a King and looks the part

Tune is baller also

Will match the forks nicely :)

I tend to associate Tune with super-lightweight parts, whereas I associate @psg1ben with massive huck to flat landings

Great combo ;-)

Can i destroy a headset haha, let's try.
Surely the fork will handle all the impact I can throw at it

I hear you have the same fork that I'm going for on your pinion monster

Depends on when you got your information, as a forced wait has me over analysing and swapping things about

massive huck to flat landings

Ah yes, Epping is known for its huge kickers

Dont over analyse, you know what the right answer is ultimately

i remember mountain biking
