Farrnus Posted January 28, 2020 Share Jirrrrrrrre good old AutoCAD, that's a blast from the past. SO.MANY.COLOURS! Well, I hope its AutoCAD and that your designers aren't purposefully changing SolidWorks/Inventor/NX colour schemes to look like that. #oldschool is cool! we're working with a very traditional steel frame fabricator - no need for fancy 3D CAD when it's more about the details, geo, artisan vibe! should see first samples end Feb/early March. if you hating the old school AutoCad vibes you gonna lose your mind when you see our "new/old" bars being developed by NITTO ... throwing it right back to when factories took real pride in their craft and made things that were both functional and aesthetically an 11 out 10.

Well, I hope its AutoCAD and that your designers aren't purposefully changing SolidWorks/Inventor/NX colour schemes to look like that.I just had a flashback to high school Technical Drawings classes. That was 15 years ago. Back them I rode a hardtail as well. Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me rida my bicycle Posted January 28, 2020 Share ah, I'm on the RM vertex 990. love it. can ride it all day.never thought i would end up doing long endurance stuff on ht bike, maybe i should switch frames as much as you!look in no way was the Vertex bad I also had a 990rsl. The Scale is just a little more slacker and softer on the rear, it just gives me more confidence and comfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Me rida my bicycle Posted January 28, 2020 Share Some of the ones I have had, not one "standard" I like to build chop and change my bikes. ???? Both the Scale's in the last photo are myne but riding would not be the same without my boet.

Always a need for 3D fancy CAD Can print out drawings and trace some papyrus with your quills if the fabricator prefers that!

Letum911 Posted January 28, 2020 Share I love my HT, and will be converting it to gears for the S2C. Where does one still find decent 2.1 tyres? Anything wider does not fit in my old frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evo bikes are my go to for tyres if Janos doesn't have it he will get it quick but most likely they will have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything wider does not fit in my old frame.Most brands still make 2.1 options, so you should be able to order from any bike shop. I know Maxxis have quite a few XC tyres in 2.1...

Hairy Posted January 29, 2020 Share A good example of a nice HT https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/hardtail-mountain-bikes/386003/cotic-solaris-l-29er Dusty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headshot Posted January 29, 2020 Share The Brits know hardtails and proper hardtails, designed for fun , Steel or alloy doesn't matter, as long as the angles are good. fork travel is decent and a dropper is fitted, which is probably one of the best upgrades for any bike, especially a HT.
