nice!

what's the clearance like for the rear brake?

mr_mills

The rear caliper fits nicely...

Nice bike, but what the difference between than and a blue pig?

mr_mills

The Blue Pig is steel. This is aluminium.

Hoathy

nice bike. like the hope two tone. what made you want it over a blue pig?

mr_mills

Because I prefer aluminium, because the mmmBop looks much better, and for the huge weight difference!

Duffer

good work for leaving the stickers off - makes for a much cleaner look. very nice

Nice frame. Clean simple lines, and a really great weight.

mr_mills

It came in at exactly 28lbs (that's the bike, not the frame!)

podgeorge

Nice build, whats the frame like to ride?

Mc Smiley

Also just quizical but how tall are you. I'm going to be getting one of these and can't decide between the 16 or 18. Does it still climb well?

mr_mills

The frame is REALLY stiff. It rides really well though and climbs superbly although it's very easy to lift the front wheel.

My frame is a 16". I'm about 5'10" and it fits me perfectly. Standover clearance is only adequate but no worse than expected given that the front is quite high with 140mm forks on.

Thanks for the info, i am considering this or the Blue Pig, and i am 6"1, so i am wondering weather i should go for a 18" or a 20", i will being doing some XC on this bike as well as the hard hitting stuff, so i'd like decent leg extension without a several mile long seatpost . Would you have thought an 18" would be the right size for me, i have an 33" inside leg!?!?
Thanks

mr_mills

Yes I reckon so. The 18" is supposed to be for people up to 6'2". Remember the top tube is quite long and that it also meets the seat tube pretty high up so it's a big frame. A 20" would be HUGE!
