kevinsfish Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 C'mon guys, only one real hardtail monster shown so far, in this thread? To help save it, here's a (rubbish) photo of me riding a Mercer Hungry Monkey down one of the most gnarly sections in Cape Town-not my bike, but it's hand made in Cape Town and everyone should own one IMO! hungry monkey.jpgwould love to get myself a hungry monkey
kevinsfish Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 love this thread, been looking to build myself a long travel steel machine,
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 You saying that one can not ride real trails with a rigid?No, but the thread is calling for Hardtail Steel Trail Monsters. A hardtail trail monster must have at least 140mm at the front to be considered a pukka Trail Monster. Only those that have ridden a hardtail monster will know why that is...

Wil6 Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 There's your problem... I know how you feel though. My reign X has a stupidly large head tube length.Same with my Momsen. With the headset it came out with that enable the frame to go from a straight steerer to tapered, you need a moerse long steerer.
Dan Dob Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 You saying that one can not ride real trails with a rigid? Not at all! Just that a rigid bike doesn't qualify as a 'monster' in my humble opinion.
deanbean Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Here's my Ragley Piglet, 140mm travelBigwig Jammer still only has the 120mm fork, need to get that to 140mm, was this a ride with you Wil, at the Jacaranda
flyluis Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Not the best pic but here is my Dartmoor primal 650B 140mm...
popcorn_skollie Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Here's my Ragley Piglet, 140mm travel You sir have very good taste in bikes
SimpleDom Posted January 10, 2015 Posted January 10, 2015 Also only 120mm, but she soaks up them trails plenty. Maybe one day when I'm big, I'll get myself a 140mm revelation for her. I nearly did, but overall budget on this build was already blown!
