Are Hardtails dead?

Was going through some image/Instagram archives.
Pyga Zero 29 ... a gem, was fortunate to ride a test/demo for a bit including J2C. Really one of Pyga's most under rated products. 
Arguably a 'forever' bike.

So the other one is going spare, unattended ..... :ph34r:

 

The raw finish with clear coat is sublime.

Green one belongs to my bike wife.

 

Just wish Pat would make more of these, or do something in steel at their new factory.

 

Don't know if any of you have seen the post from Dave Mercer, but he is offering a bike building course. Perfect opportunity to get the bike of your dreams!

Decided to sell my dual sus and build myself a hardtail, 

 

I was shocked at how expensive a new decent hardtail is. If you build it yourself you can make your money go much further.

 

You also can't get a new decent hardtail with a 120mm fork which what I specially wanted. Decided to go with a 120mm SID. A high handle bar height is what I need with my back issues.

Cube carbon extra large frame with a 50mm stem, 780mm carbon bar, Fox 32 SC fork, Cane Creek Thudbuster ST suspension seatpost (33mm travel), 29” DT Swiss wheels and 2.35” tyres, bike is long and extremely capable, 70 deg HT and super short wheelbase means in the right hands it’s hyper reactive in the best sense! I keep my full sus for the really rowdy ****, otherwise my HT does trail and then I slap my other wheelset with Maxxis Tt Race 2.0” tyres for gravel! No frame bearings or bushings to worry about, yup less can be more!
