It’s not a bad steel frame. ChroMo so decent enough.

It’s a part bin build, and some student will have it I imagine (and then probably strip and turn it into a fixie).

The complete bike with a knackered rear wheel was £25. I should get that back selling on its groupset.

Hi folks, this is my Enduro bike that I've had around 18months now and have made a few changes to it in that time.

Really happy with it and no plans to do much more this year (maybe convert the fork to coil)
Now that is gorgeous.

How do you find it? I'm fighting the urge to get a longer travel bike later this year and a HB160 is high on the list.

Where abouts did you get yours?

Specialized Fuse.

First time I've ridden a mountain bike in 16 years.

Picked it up last week but today was the first chance I had at using it.

Loved it. Quite fun getting muddy!

My arse hurts though!

Really interested in how you find it, I was 50/50 then opted for an Arkose D3
I have to say I’m loving the canyon! I’ve no similar bikes to compare too, but it feels like it covers ground effortlessly and is really stable when riding on the hoods or in the drops. Love it, can feel me catching the bug!

Current set up of my winter bike, must say i've loved the plus tyres through the winter (not these ones) Magic Mary's have been soo much fun. I've ridden it everywhere from the 100 mile London to Brighton off road, local mud loops to bike parks, it literately does it all and makes me wonder when I go back to the Carbine if i'll enjoy it as much?

So, my steel frame project is done and already out the door with its very happy new owner.



2x8 drivetrain.

It rode pretty well and the stuff out of the parts bin had been gathering dust for a while. The donor bits (Shimano Exage) are for sale or sold.

Newest purchase. An Alex Moulton (of Citroen suspension fame) AM7 from the mid eighties. This will make number 6 smile

Just like the cars this was so ahead of its time smile
Love the flight as well, my favourite saddle.

I had a Speedsix exactly like this blue one below when I was a lad growing up on the council estate. Other kids used to throw stones at me because it looked so alien. Well, I think it was the bike they were throwing stones at anyway. Sold it for threepence.

As posted in the tri thread, new wheels for me 4 weeks ago.

Haven't had the opportunity for a decent ride yet, but very much looking forward to that!!

Hi sorry I missed this.

I love it, it handles everything I've asked it to and is a much capable bike than I am a rider!
I picked it up from a shop down in Yorkshire as there are only a few dealers that sell them and at that point, there wasn't one in Scotland.

Recently arrived. Quite the upgrade from the Allez I've been running about on for a few years.
