That's what happens when newbs join...we get 12 pages of re-posts! :-(

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!

What amazing way to ruin a beautiful bike. That bar and stem combo is horrible.

do you think so? I thought it's rather dashing.

Personally i think 29ers aren't right for short riders...as is the case there they end up with toe overlap, fuck all clearance and a bike that looks wrong in my opinion. 26" is better for a person of that height.

Pretty much, there are road/track bicycle designed for 650c instead of 700c specifically for people who are under 5'3.

the 29ers would be the equation to a 32ers for a 5'3 person.

it is yeah

This wont win me any browny points, but risers would look a lot better - the stem is great imo.
Saddle angle, although personal preference, offends me.

can see how it kinda fits though, not sure on that bar tape, strong v's or the like in one colour would suffice

That stem is quite pretty but flat bars are a massive fail.

And, for a "form follows function" exercise, this is quite brilliant.

The reason this looks so big is due to the 36 inch wheels it has. Im very surprised that you guys didnt know about these beasts.

Now that's lovely.

Looks like a YoYo . . . a very nice YoYo tho!

2 looks like you can only have radial lacing for those

I've always been suspicious of the idea of a full suspension singlespeed , but this seems to have the drivetrain mounted on the swingarm around the BB shell, so it might just work.

Would be lovely for 4X...

like the hubs. as for the alleged (and probably true) repost - who the fck is going to know, when there's 1,000+ posts a day? especially if you're 1 of the 100 newbies that join every week, like me. radial? well, radial's nice. looks great with that kind of hub. i wouldn't want to jump off a 6-stair with that but hey, theyre works of art.

reposts are boring for people who've seen it all before. i only joined recently. i read it all. even the silmarillion. the whole thing. somethings though are worth reposting. just man up n quit yo whining. but nice hunbs.

O rly? In that case, Stan's have started making ZTR rims in the 36er size, and Schwalbe have started making 36er Racing Ralphs, and you're the only person in the world who knows about these two tremendously newsworthy developments.

Using the pixel ruler to compare the crank length with the rim diameter, it is obviously a 29er with 175mm cranks

Brooklyn machine works did it over a decade ago on the big air full suss bmx....kona did it years later on the single speed full susser too....it's not anything particularly new. Just means you need pro pedal to stop it bobbing.

Except they're not...they're 29".
That bike wouldn't have made it ten yards down the trails in Scotland in winter.

Robin Mather come to mind, as well as Hufnagel (US) and Carrion Cycle Works, that's as far as I know thought.

(Carrion Cycle Work stem/bar).

although i reall;y like those saddles normally not on that bike, and it needs drops

And with drops he may get some use out of the top tube protecter, but it may need to be slipped forward a little?!
