Furry's fat and long bikes

Hand brushing done.

Love the drop-outs. The bullets came out real nice.

Shiny

Sweet, though I actually prefered the unfinished finish.

Much as I agree with you. My OCDs would demand the frame was evenly finished. Especially as I'm chucking a load of blue anno bits on it.

Also, Triton stopped doing the raw finish for various reasons.

Actually, I agree. Looking at the frame on a stand on it's own, I loved it as it was. Now it looks plain. Built up into a bike however...I recall Prolly's Geekhouse tourer that was left a bit like yours was pre-brushing and it just looked a busy, dirty mess imo. Good call.

They did a trials bike that looked amazing. But then thats a simple bike. You'd have to make everything else understated. Ti seatpost + stem, and black headset, seatpost clamp etc. Might work.

It would need someone other than me to put it together though. Some of the first things I bought where matching fizik saddle, and bar tape in metallic blue.

Is it just the camera angle, or are the seat stays very slightly offset, and if so whats the benefit? Or maybe I just need to go get my glasses.

Its a combination of camera angle, and the weld discoloration I think.

nah. they're a bit off. a shame in such an otherwise nice frame. as long as the dropouts are aligned you wont notice when riding though.

They appears to be a touch more flux (or whatever Ti welding stuff is called) on the right.

My baby is perfect.

Filler, if it's TIGged together.

Lovely stuff.

Looking great! Can't wait to see this built! I'm considering another Triton! 29er for bikepacking. Frame, forks and rack. Love the rocker dropouts!

For bike packing they're a no brainer. Keeps the caliper out of the way of racks, and somewhat safer inside the rear triangle. They also remove the need for a reinforcing strut, which is a touch cleaner. Bare in mind that the cables need to come along the chainstay as the caliper is inverted. My dont, so I'm not really able to run cable discs. Should'nt be an issue with hydraulics though.

The Triton racks look lovely. No idea what they cost. Frankly I was afraid to ask.

With the tube bending abilities improving all the time. It should'nt be too difficult to achieve a resonable wheelbase.

It would also be interesting to design the F&F specifically for bag attachment much like BRP did. I kinda wish I'd given mine a bigger main triangle. But I had to put my own *cough*bagcough infront of a frame bag.

I was well tempted to get this. silly money though.

I have a triton rack with the current bike, it was about 120 quid, and is really really lovely. But yes, my main triangle is tiny and the frame bag will be really small for my current build. It's enough for a couple of days riding, but if I want to do longer stuff, I'll need more space. I also want a 29er for longer stuff. Never thought I'd say that!

Mine fits me lovely, and I'm 5,7". The only reason I'd go 26" is if I wanted some kind of suspension. Going to lighten it up a bit now that I'll have a fatty hardtail.

I plan to get a framebag (possibly alpkit), and a fueltank. Should be enough for emergency clothing, and kitkats (well Kvikklunch). I have an insulated camelbak for fluids. So I'll be set for winter exploring in safety.

For summer trekking use I may invest in a rigid seatpost, and a saddle bag.

I'm about to order a custom framebag from wildcat along with handlebar pack and seat pack. Their stuff looks amazing.

PS I'm also 5'7", so my frames will always be on the small side whatever I do. Good thing I think small bikes look nicer. Maybe I should get a 36er?

IMHO Spot brand do a great 'short guy on big hoops' geometry. Would maybe like a little more ETT, and a little less HT. Vassego also look interesting from a vertically challenged viewpoint. But you get a lot less standover. The HT is nice and short. But then the low BB counters 4mm of that.

Spotbrand Longboard small -Vassego Jabbewocky small.
SA - 660 - 711
ETT - 559 - 599
BBD - 64.2 - 68

HTA - 70.5 - 71
STA - 73.5 - 74

Totally nicked off facebook.

But I love this pic. Spot mine?

Holy crap! Want!

I like the Blacksheep 36er.

ZOMFG. Love that. Belt drive too....

I like the Blacksheep 36er.

I really love that too! i wonder how much that'd be?

The frame and forks would be standard custom Black Sheep pricing. The wait would be 'ages'.

Dont know about the wheels.

When did you start this thread again?...
