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

They're swapping the rear 203mm brake mount for a 180mm, existing 6066 hanger for a 7075 one.

I'd like to make the trail bike a bit leaner

Maybe swap the XT cranks onto the Madonna and put the XTRs on the Jibb?

Not a a huge difference, I realise

Keep the 600g Pembree pedals on the enduro bike...

180mm

Child size rotor!

Looking forward to you bringing them both to Innerleithen for some very in-depth comparisons of 36mm vs 38mm stanchions

I could go 203 front and rear, but I feel a bike looks better balanced with a larger front rotor.

The Madonna is 203/220.

Hold on, long, low and slack?

Think I saw @Dammit on the commute today 😂

I need to know more about this :D

Mullet, pinion belt drive, banana seat post and gold/purple ano Hope hubs and brakes. Ticks a lot of boxes.

Kind of want to do the same, but with 36 front 29 rear

What size is that rear wheel?
Does anyone know what who makes the frame? I need a better look at it.

I know this wasn't quite what you meant but I edited a short vid to give it more exposure

@PhilDAS - can you please make me one?

I could be financially persuaded

depends what you want it to contain

I want to have a go!

I've only just noticed that the bars are much further back than the headtube. Cable steering?

Linkage on the nds maybe. What the hell is that bike

When framebuilders go bad

Only by making it, will you truly understand

I knew it was from dear Susan.

This is not off topic because hope and mullet?

Thanks, I hate it so much

Is it the reflective strip on the rear tire?

They say "functional" but it's functional in the same way you could use air to ground missiles to kill some weeds.

I was just about to say that it could only have been made by one person
