DawieO Posted November 3, 2018 Posted November 3, 2018 (edited) Yeah, I hunted high and low for a nice 26er frame, fork and wheels. Currently setup as a single speed, frame has a slide in the rear triangle that lets you tension the chain without using a doofer or such. Frame is a bit scratched, but i will have it refinished in a color of her choice. Waiting for a new hanger from Ibis, then it will become a 1X10 using some bits I have around. Can’t wait to get her out on the trails! Edited November 3, 2018 by DawieO fanievb, Wannabe, BSG and 3 others 6

Reme Le Hane Posted November 3, 2018 Posted November 3, 2018 (edited) This would very much classify as a nice to have item, but a while back when I stopped in at the hanger to get my shoes and knee guards I saw this and stopped half way through my what is this sentence to have a mini heart attack at the price, but was sold when Stephan (The Hanger Bike Co.) explained what it is and why it's awesome, I fully agreed and decided that when the hard tail was sold I could justify the expense for that simplicity and convenience. As you can no doubt tell, said hard tail was sold. [emoji819] Unessesarry but awesome expense... For those wondering, R1100. Have not seen it online anywhere locally, but I get excellent service so will rather support them than save a few bucks online. Edited November 3, 2018 by Reme Le Hane Andrew_Smith 1

dirtypot Posted November 12, 2018 Posted November 12, 2018 Just built up a new bike for myself! 2018 Anthem Advanced. Looking forward to testing out the new geo (I'm using a 120 fork, so even more rake than normal, and a LOT more than the old Anthem) and new rear suspension. My blue Nexties sort of match the green frame and keep it nice and light-ish.Looking forward to hitting the trails! BikeisLife 1

Hairy Posted November 13, 2018 Posted November 13, 2018 technically that would never make it as far as even getting near to the bike in my household ... that would be consumed as it came in through the door .... or on the way back from the "LBS" Local Bakery Store.Just bought because Yoann is a legend.
