Very safe and happy in the garage.

 

This started off very simply ... I had a spare pair of grips in the garage, then I got a set of wheels from a friend .... then this frame popped up, and I could not say no. Incidentally, this is the frame that I was considering when I bought the Dartmoor frame.

 

At first I may build her up as a fully rigid bike .... so if you have a 29'er thru axel rigid fork collecting dust I may be interesting in trying it out to see how it will feel riding a rigid SS.

 

How come where's the Dartmoor

Almost thought you downgraded from the Dartmoor ????

Congrats

 

Please may I ask how you find it once built up? I have been considering one for some time but I am worried after seeing a few comments about the geometry etc.

 

I am also considering a HT with longer travel as an SS. Not sure if I will hate that decision more?

 

PS, I saw your Dartmoor build and leaning more towards that right now. But sliding dropouts...

Will have this in my grubby paws in a week or so, but the deal is sealed.

Like the car accident insurance claim

It was dark and the streets were unlit. Then the tree jumped in front of my car.

 

Tch! Excuses.  :ph34r:

Got this to put under the bikes when working on the stand .... tired of wiping solvents and lubes off the garage floor.

Then realised it is also very handy for a tidy storage area ....

Nice, do you mind saying where you got it and what it cost. Would also like that, especially under a motorbike or 3.....

Great company to deal with.

 

The also do the interlocking rubber mats. Go chat to them and see the show room. Best thing is they also deliver. We did 100m2 of interlocking flooring over a weekend. Kinda like laying tiles but without the glue.

Also a good company, stock is an issue.
