That awkward moment when you forget your gloves for a photoshoot.

Is that a crate that won't sit still?

Oke should change his twitter handle to @kevinevensdopin already, or @kevinevanscheatin

Just so this isn't a thread full of tallboys, they do make some other nice bikes.

Blind, you can't smoke a bifta round the back of the food tent anymore if you're a back marker. Someone should fill these epic chops in about what mountianbiking is. If its not bad enough that this bladdy race has filled our trails with noobs in matching lycra dragging their back wheel around every corner, now we have to deal with noob dopers.

6 bolt hope floating rotors which are fat at the hub with quite large nuts, still quite a bit of clearance. Good luck with the build.

The one above (my wife's) runs a 32X17, you'd have to be superman to take it offroad. Nice gearing for some gentle commuting and runs to the shop. Strictly speaking thou, with a 135mm back hub its actually just a rigid 29er?

heres my take

The Tallboy is the holy grail, that thing gives you the right to use singletrack to recover and lest us not forget its replaced the porsche as a mid-life crisis must-have.

Or you could buy a bike with suspension that works...

Except the guy who started the thread...

If you want to "hit singletrack and steep downhill" neither is a good option. They are both big, heavy, flexy bikes AKA a gate.

They are both farm gates.

Last month, Royal Mail, 1 month on the dot, and the day before their call centre told me the parcel hadn't left their warehouse yet. So budget on paying for shipping (DONT USE THE FREE SHIPPING YOU GET) Previously i've received parcels via courier in 3days flat...

Is this a hipster race?
