GMAN79 Posted March 15, 2022 Share 27 minutes ago, Menno Schagen said: So I have built 2 Tigre hardtails and going to re-build a third one on a black frame by the end of the month. I can really say Steel is the way to go! it does absorb the bumps more than your aluminium hardtail frames. and these aggressive geometry frames inspires confidence when going downhill Looking awesome! Built a SS using a white Rapide frame. Unfortunately had to go rigid for now as I couldn't afford a fork. Maybe next year. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoG Posted March 15, 2022 Share I'm also love my Rapidé, Shimano 12 speed with rigid fork. Recently changed to 2.4 Aspen tyres. Rides like a dream as my training machine. Edited March 15, 2022 by TheoG Menno Schagen and justinafrika 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I will have to take it off your hands and use it as my primary machine. My 140mm Manitou 34 with red decals should go perfectly with it. 🤩 TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menno Schagen Posted March 16, 2022 Share If you see that travel, the chain guide is more for when Im going over the rocky terrain. Same reason I have a slapsock on! Stretched@Birth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

117 Posted March 22, 2022 Share @TheoG Whats that rigid fork like? And how hard do you punish it? Or is it mainly hood rides you do on the frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MORNE Posted March 22, 2022 Share Propose we send a petition to @Kiwi for black branding on the black frame. BLACK ON BLACK is the only way to do that. IT would look seriously badass imo. imagine matt frame with some gloss black branding. 🤑 TheoG, Trashy, Hairy and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
