The other bikes thread.

Oh... looks burlier/slacker than a Fuel up there.

 

[davosaurusrex]

The latest Fuel Ex are pretty burly and slacker than listed, HA is sub 66 in the low setting. Great bike, Ohlins, Hope E4 Race, LB carbons on pro 2s. Taxman wants his pound of flesh though so needs must

I have a question hardtail frame, which gives the most compliant ride alloy steel or titanium

 

[Gary]

There is no wonder material offering more compliance without also reducing structural stiffness. The word compliance in a bicycle frame means a frame construction (whether by material choice or construction) able to deform elastically. If a hardtail frame shod with 2.3 or bigger pneumatic tyres deforms elastically enough to offer percievable deformation (or compliance as you like to call it) while riding it stood up it stands to reason it will also be deforming under hard cornering and possibly even braking. Getting the balance right between stiffness and compliance is a trade off. and any of the materials you mention can be designed/built to be super stiff or deform easliy.

Probably better to start a new thread if you want a discussion on the subject.
I started this thread intending it to be a place for folk to post some pics of "other bikes" they have.

Ok thank you

 

[Gary]

Don't think i've posted any pics of this little thing
It's my 120mm slope/DJ full sus

Excuse the reverb and level saddle. I lent it to a girlfriend the other day to ride Glentress with me on.

Ha, that Leader reminds me of an Aende ex olympic track bike i once had about a decade ago in London, we used to call them HHSB's (Hip Hop Slave Bikes)

I don't really care about guitars now that a computer can be used to produce every sound any guitar can.

Now this is utter rubbish. I think you’ve over-reached beyond your expertise here Gary ??

 

[outerlimits]

I'm Ebikeless just now so back riding my other bikes a fair bit. I can't stand the terms "acoustic", "clockwork" or "analog" when referring to normal bicycles and just call mine bikes.

First fs bike o ever tried(94 or 95 maybe). I thought it was amazing. Was it an inch and a half of travel or something, can't remember. All I knew was I had to have one. Bought the first specialized fsr. Shock was blown and the pivots were like a bag of marbles in a month.
At Mt St Anne my friend pulled apart 3 of those marins in 3 consecutive training runs(I think it was the headtube)

I won’t risk abuse by sharing my road or CX bikes ?

G'waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannn?
I love a nice road bike me.

I'm not sure I was quite ready for the roadbike's seatposts
