What does bikehub-land think of the All Mountain Hardtail?

Thanks mate! I was a bit unsure how it would turn out as the frame looked quite spindly and light weight but you can't knock back a steel hard tail now can you. :)

 

I'd like to say I slam the dropper that much harder for 'those' moment hence the QR collar... but truth is I just loved the detailing and it was £1! Dropper is 150mm and if I need to get that much lower I'll be polishing my butt with the tyres! 

 

I was looking at Guide brakes or Formula but this was a side build and was only supposed to be fun and simple. I've always loved my SLX brakes on my Tranny and when these Deore ones come along from another hubber it was a no brainer. Simple, solid and black. 

Love it. What stem is that?

Cheers, it's the El Guapo outlaw stem which I matched up with the El Guapo 780 wide Saloon Riser from On-One.

El Guapo. Can a bike brand name sound any cooler..

And it's ready to roll... Just need to tweak, get that saddle backed up and dial the shock then it's on! 

 

160 up front, 64.5 degree head angle and some short stays should equal a fair bit of fun.

 

Was journey to get to this frame and some times missing out on one  (or 4) option means something else comes along. 

 

Now I just need to pick a first trail to roll onto tomorrow am.

Absolutely Cool, but have you googled that?

 

Wikipedia - El Guapo (Spanish for "The Handsome One")  and goes about places bands etc etc

 

Urban dictionary (first meaning) El Guapo

1. The nemesis to the three amigos, in The Three Amigos movie starring Martin Short. He throws a pinata party in Mexico and eventually gets his plans foiled. 

 

2. The Mexican equivalent to John Stamos.

I believe everyone has their own El Guapo.
and 
‘El guapo’ in Spanish is to say a beautiful guy, a well looking male. It can be used in a wide range of ages, for babies, kids, teenagers, young guys, gentlemen, elderly Señores, etc
 
 so not cool but Beautiful :ph34r:

Farken hell that's a good price  :drool:  if only 

 

Have a cart full and now just justifying it. What is also good is that they are shifting their El Guapo stems and bars and other build parts for nix as well. Stems & bars @ £13 etc.

Shipping is hectic though !!

 

Can they put two frames in one box and share the shipping cost with someone ?

I'm keen 

 

Aramex Global Shopper. Would cost about R1600 all up with import taxes, shipping etc. Could be less Meezo imported a Enduro fame with them and I think he said it was less.
