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

I was of a school of thought that if someone is building a hardtail in 2019 the HT angle should min be 66.5º with longer reach and stubby stem.

I'm not copying the whole damn thing. Just the A E S T H E T I C

that mixed with this

Depends ( partly ) on the fork travel

only a mention of trendy HT angle and it has already made its way onto 'gravel' bikes!?

@BareNecessities make this stop

Oh, that's not good

It's on the Radavist of course it's not good

It's on the Radavist

I never really look on there

He's done pretty well out of taking the same bike photo, over & over & over again

And his very speedy sideways shuffle when the Camelback/Bell/Gyro boycott was going on due to the NRA funding parent company was hilarious. And the point I stopped visiting Prollyworld.

Latitude

I know someone selling a 19" High Lat, but its in Wales

Will definitely need a side-on photo of you on the bike

Do you by chance own any gaudy curtains?

That seems to be the main complaint people have about 27.5+..the internet says it improves with wider rims..

It certainly improves, and on a hard tail it's definitely worth taking a bit of squirm for the comfort factor. Not sure I really need 2.6 inch tyres on a long travel 29er but it looks fucking dope bruhhhh.

That Ritchey looks sick - hopefully it's not made of the same pool noodles as my P650b was!

Yeah but it looked rad. And that’s more important.
You’ve been sticking some tubes together yourself no? How’s that going?

I suppose that's what really matters.. The raw finish is sensual.

Yeah slow progress, but the main triangle is tacked and I'll be working on the yoke/bottom bracket thanks to some pointers from @Hulsroy - should really update that thread!

That bike somehow seems to manage being elegant and utilitarian simultaneously.

Actually I think I'm in love.

Bendy seatstays are so on-trend rite now

These steel frames are making me want one... But I need to spend less money on bikes/and maybe get better at mountain biking before dropping all my cash on another pink bike.

I lol'd

Then I spent some more money
