What length fork do you have?

I'm running mine at 120mm as of current.

Mine’s a 140mm 32mm stanchions, is the one bit that will need an upgrade when the bike budget allows. Though I think I’ve now found its sweet spot after lots of trial and error with pressures.

It's not the most beautiful bike I've ever seen, because I am not on it.

Thought I'd share my Tigre too.

Basically Mostly Rapide parts or Lyne.

Running a Pike Ultimate 29er with 150mm travel. I have the drop-out as far in as possible for a very agile feel. Bike climbs very well and gives great confidence on the downhill.

Picture below was tacking it down Dorsberg on Meerendal farm.

It's nice....... For a trail bike..... 

Unpopular opinion here.... I think XC bikes are sexier than stretched out trail bikes where it looks like the front wheel has beef with the back wheel and is trying to escape..... :ph34r:

How would this frame, with a 100mm fork, handle long, flat dirt roads?  And also, will the larger XL frame do anything about ride quality?  I've been riding large frames my whole life, but I actually need a XL.  My body is now telling me that I need a bigger frame.

 

Any input would be appreciated. 

I am very tempted in buying one.

Finally built my Tigre after agonizing over EVERYTHING about the build for many months…

all I’ll say for now is that I am extremely happy… parts-swopped the drivetrain, fork, cockpit etc. from my previous bike and splashed out more than I intended to on the frame,  wheels and tyres… but it fits like a glove, and is exactly what I need out of a bike.

More details to follow.
