Bike porn

Sure, it would be no good in scotland. But I bet it would be a nice ride here.
.

I was thinking Slickrock would be about the only place where the clearances would work, but you don't need (or want) Racing Ralphs at Slickrock

Explain please. Just because its pretty doesn't mean it's not functional.

There's just simply no reason to build a mountainbike with clearances that tight.
Putting some decent mud room in there would not have ruined the aesthetics of the bike, infact quite the opposite imo because as soon as i look at that bike i see tight clearances which will clog up real quick and so it looks like a bike that will not work.
Apart from the mudroom issue id also be worried about riding a rigid large wheeled bike offroad if there was that little room for the wheel to get out of true.
Give one of those wheels a bit of a knock on a fast descent and by the time you've reached the bottom of the hill you'll be halfway through a chainstay.

good evening miss!

Ooh my a new Sheriff-style hubs? that does look lovely, it better be reasonably priced and as good as those System EX hubs.

Bugger, and there was me trying to be 'down with yo yoof'

This one from mtbr.com looks fun.

I thought Matt chester had stopped making frames now?
I'm guessing it's just an older one with a vicious cycles/jones fat fork on?
I always liked Matt chesters approach to fixed off road bikes.

Just checked his blog...seems he's still working...good to hear.

WOW

That ring isn't NJS and I doubt the hubs, chain, seatpost and tyres are either
