Come on then guys and gals...let's see your Whytes!

Anyone still own a PRST or a JW? Can we get a full model line up? E5, 46, E120, 19, 905, 901...all welcome. Even the Portobello when it's launched!

I'll add photos of my 905 when I get home.

    I'll kick off with my 901. Will be a few changes in the next few weeks.

    Oooh yes! What a good idea!

    Let's see ... I quite like this picture of it having a well-earned rest

    That 901 looks rather good in black, doesn't it?

    I could put some pics up from the catalouges I have but its not really the same :wink: Love Whyte's but all the nice ones (E-120 and 19 Ti) are quite steep.

    They're both Nevegal Stick-e 2.35 folding. They grip and handle well on a wide variety of trail surfaces. I'm waiting for delivery of a Nevegal DTC 2.35 for the rear as that doesn't need to be so grippy and should roll a wee bit faster and last a bit longer.

    Very nice indeed, that 19 Trail, supercyril

    Where's ExeterSimon's bike, then? It was all his idea and he promised us a pic yesterday ...

    Fear not...here she is:

    This is an older picture..the Crank Bros. Mallets have been replaced by Candys, the grips wore out and were replaced with grey Superstar Gripas with white bar caps (to match the bike's colour scheme) and the the tyres have been changed to a Kenda Nevegal/Blue Groove front/back combo.

    When I get a chance I'll post an updated photo.

    So that's a 901, a 905 and a couple of 19s so far.

    Whytepeak...is that a reflector on your seatpost?!?!?!?

    Also...Mods...why has this moved to the MTB General section? Surely a collection of Whytes that are owned by us belongs in the Your MTB section?

    I find this thread both offensive and discriminatory against non whytes.

    Glad I didn't call it Whyte Supremacy as suggested in another thread.

    Do you have similar issues with Orange?

    At least he's got some dirt on his bike, ES! :lol: When it gets really muddy he probably uses a torch to find it using the reflector.

    Don't worry about the mods moving the thread. It's just a test to see if Whyte owners really do have excellent navigational skills and superior initiative to mortals.

    As to the colour issue, I think the black whyte and the black and white whyte shows how tolerant we can be.

    In all fairness that photo was taken 10 minutes after I picked her up from the LBS. The only bit I clean now is where it says 'Whyte'.

    Whereabouts in Wilts are you?

    Yeah ok..the fact that you have Whyte written in your quad link gets you in. Just!

    If it doesn't say Whyte on the box then it isn't Whyte in the box.

    Sorry Yeehaa. Get over it!

    I'm still waiting for someone with a PRST or a JW to show up.

    In fact we haven't even had any E120s yet. Although I am hoping to remedy that myself within the next few weeks.

    Yep, just a boring old reflector, but I do a lots of road riding to get to some trails, so it's not just there for show... or rather, it is.

    Don't seem to be many full suss whytes around, discouting yeehaamcgee's fake obviously...

    http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/4264156/ << E-120, and its little brother, the Mount Vision.

    I have to admit though, that the Whyte isn't mine, but one of my riding buddies, but as it's a Whyte thread, thought it only right to post it! He's a lucky git, it's a beauty :)

    (Can't use img tags or get onto photobucket at work, sorry!)

    We have an E120 (indirectly). Nice work Stav.

    Lol, no worries Simon.. couldn't ask for a better pic to compare the Whytes and Marins!

    (Although the Mount Vision does have 'designed by Jon Whyte' on the frame, so I 'technically' own a Whyte... lol, do I get a biscuit?)

    Or would I have gotten a biscuit if I hadn't just sold the Vision? :oops:

    I'm actually a verteran of the orange faculty so I'll let that one slip
