Show your Tallboys picture thread? Is there one?

[Znarf]

Hi,
didn´t find anything with the search engine.
Is there a Tallboy picture thread yet?
Are there even Tallboys out there?

I´d be very interested to see you bikes!

Greetings Znarf

Had it since begining of Nov. and have beat the crap out of it. Takes it all and asks for more.

[Znarf]

YEAH,
that´s what I was looking for.

NICE bike, great build. Love those Straitline levers.

btw. your truck really dwarves the 29" wheels

Let´s hope there are MOAAAAR Tallboys out there!

Actually think it was the angle of the shot........looks even funnier when I have the Heckler shot that way.

[Znarf]

Well,
that couldn´t work out better.

I ride a Heckler too, with a 160mm adjustable travel fork. Great trailbike. But I am intrigued by the 29" wheels.
I feel the need for a second bike, something even snappier and lighter than the Heckler. For the reaaaaallly long epic rides.


How does your Tallboy compare to your Heckler? Does it feel a lot different?

Take this with a grain of salt.........

I have been riding 29ers since 2004, so obviously I like the way they ride.

Since I got the Tallboy, I have not ridden the Heckler(XL, Float 36, DHX Coil...33 lbs.)

The Tallboy replaced my Ventana El Padrino hardtail 29er.

My Heckler obviously has a taller front end so it doesn't climb the steeps nearly as well as the Tallboy. Top tubes are within .5" of each other so the fit of the 2 bikes is really close.

THe Heckler is smoother through the rough stuff, but that has more to do with amount of travel. I don't feel that I am giving up any speed on the Tallboy. With the 120mm fork, the Tallboy has a nice slack feel to it......but not slow in the steering.

The Tallboy definately changes direction well....it is light and stiff so you can throw it around.

The Heckler may not get as much use as it used to....the Tallboy has so far handled everything that I have thrown at it. For AM/FR type rides, the Heckler is the way to go, but for just about everything else the Tallboy is hard to beat.

[jkilgore]

This is my new Tallboy.

[velez3000]

I like orange! Mine will look staright somber compared to yours.

I also got the mntnkings. They work really well for our neck of the woods. What size frame?

[jkilgore]

Size large frame. I changed out the the Mtn. Kings for some WTB Stouts. It is super wet here in the south.

[velez3000]

yeah, I'm in GA. the freeze/ rain cycle has been brutal. Where about are you in the south?
I'm dreaming of sunny days in pisgah

[DMFT]

I'd show mine.....................................If Santa Cruz would DELIVER it. When was Jan. 25?

I am in North Mississippi. Our trails have been saturated for a few months. My wife is from
Greenville, SC and I miss it. Pisgah is a great place to ride. As for the tires, the Stout is not a racing tire by no means, but it is a good training tire.

[velez3000]

Yeah, Greenville is a sweet town and really close to asheville or Georgia. Enjoy the TB. I'll post up when it arrives.

[BOAB]

The orange looks even better in person. Only problem is it has way too many gears.

[spacoli]

This is my new Tallboy.

I'm liking the orange also.

Trying to figure out what size I need by that measurement and the eff top tube...

Thanks

Wish I could help you with that.....I am currently broken, so the bike is living at the LBS for display/demo.

However, you can kinda to the math if you have Thomson post. The length of the post is 350mm. I have about 1.5" extra before the limit line inside the frame.

[fleanutz]

Thanks for the info!

Recover quickly.

[fleanutz]

Stupid double post.

Sweet. .....is that what you got instead of the Blur XC?

[rushak]

Yup! I was hoping for an orange one, but this one will do just fine. Still need to get a few things before I can start building it up...mainly a fork. How you feeling?

Not a fan of the orange, but when done correctly, they look nice. We finally got 2 of the mediums that were ordered months ago.

Feeling good......am able to drive and get around on my own now......still in a cast for another few weeks, then ????? Tired of being seditary. I have jumped on the bike and rode around the house 1 legged a few times, but felt like I was going to die.

Post up some pics when you get it built.

Is that 5.15 weight with the seat clamp?

[DMFT]

My XL w/Fox RP23 came in yesterday. I pressed the cups in and weighed it with the non-qr seatcolar.........5 even pounds on the scale.
