Josh's bikes

Probably going to sell the frameset/wheels soon...

How's the transition going?

Currently sitting in the shed with a flat tyre. used it once to commute to work and hasnt been ridden in 3/4 months maybe?

But it does have new cranks / bb / bars to install once I get round to it. Maybe spring time.

Nice where do you ride locally. Are some of those riding pics Clent way?

Good eye!

I live in Harborne so take no time to get to Clent Hill! And since I've moved this way I head out there a lot. Used to ride more south Birmingham ways like down to redditch/Alcester /Stratford but tend to stick over here now as riding for 45 mins through traffic just to get to some lanes isn't cool.

I'm Stourbridge so right by there as well. I have load of routes over Kinver way to the Wyre and I have a few Bromsgrove, Chaddsley way as well. If you ever want to go for a spin give me a shout.

I've rode over to the Wyre twice in my life, those hills out of Bewdley were a killer...

Would be keen to meet up for a ride over that way again soon!

Just give me a shout whenever you fancy it!

Yeah from the river up to the Wyre is quite a hill no matter which way you go. I know all the trails over there as well.

Just picked up a 20" GT Tequesta frame, 20" Reynolds tubing in good nick.

As I have grown to hate my Genesis CDF, the GT is going to be my my new commute bike.

Build plans are:

Surly fork
Pizza rack
tan walls
1x9 XT/XTR
XT or Avid ultimate 7 brakes
On one bars
Rival 1x cranks etc.

Pics soon.

Sounds dope! Stridsland chainring surely...

I do have some 94bcd Deore xt cranks sitting there next to some ano headsets....Hmmm.

He is doing 110bcd soon

Nice. I just got a 20 inch tempest which will be the Alu brother to your bike ha. Build plan sounds good. Which bars you getting. Get some BLB big smokes and it will be a great all rounder. You selling the CDF?

We will need to go shred Clent and Wrye when theyre done in the summer!

Ive got those BLB bars on my specialized rockhopper and theyre great. I think im going to use my on one mary's on this if I can get the stack high enough.

Also, undecided on the CDF. probably th.

Nice. Yeah for sure although I'm not sure if I'm keeping the GT yet.

I'm going to get a set of those for the Mrs bike. I have a set of Mary's as well but they are a bit too narrow for my preference.

Let me know when you decide. I don't love the geometry but I may be ok for some summer fun.

Yeah I don't know if I'm gonna keep this or not.

My stumpjumper is wicked but I just wish I was a bit larger!

Yes!

another month, another hybrid?

I think I got that exact frame in the attic as well. Same size even

It's got a stuck half chopped out seatpost that will need sorting before its ridable!

I've got a 9 speed xtr group, v brake blue sids and maviv crossride rims for it

Scored some rare ano hubs on ritchey rims which will go on the Marin maybe.

They will need a service, new bearings and spokes tensioning but otherwise they're pretty neat.

That's spicy stuff there, will look ace with that frame!

@t0-ster I heard somewhere that you may be releasing chainrings in 110bcd?
