On-one Ti 29er ride reports?
Anyone body out there got any more feedback? I've searched and read of couple of bits of initial feedback but, by now, people must have got a pretty good take on these lovely frames  |

Hey Clink,
I got in only 2 rides before the snow arrived, so I don't have much to say beyond what i posted in that other thread. But from those two rides it just felt very solid and light and comfortable. I've been riding an older steel inbred with sliders the past year and a half. It seemed like climbing with the ti frame felt more efficient, maybe because of the lighter overall weight or maybe the burly track ends makes for a stiffer setup and better power transfer or maybe because I was really excited to be on a new bike. As far as craftsmanship, it's an absolutely beautiful frame. I'll post up more when I get more time on it.

yep, they are out!
only had one ride on mine so far; it took me a while to get all the parts
speced it out with an alfine, 80mm rebas, stans rims and a middleburn crank
geometry on the 19.5 model fits me like a glove (used to own a scandal but it was nicked), climbs great and handles excellently, complete bike comes in at about 27lbs total, frame is 1680g
not sure about the reba sl?s though, but it they were a bargain at £120!

it is a different ride than the scandal, although the set up for both bikes was diffferent (100mm forks on the scandal and 80mm forks on the ti29er) from memory the scandal felt more compliant, but the ti29er seatpost angle is different - but the change feels good, the bike jumps better, maybe the standard on one geometry suits a shorter fork, it handles singletrack and corners better than the scandal did
couple of poor quality piccies of mine

Cheers for those. Opened pics in seperate window and they worked fine. I've just managed to get a 2nd hand steel 29er slot dropout frame which I'm going to build up so I can check sizing before I spend all that ££££ on the ti.
I used to live in Mold btw so I've ridden a few of the Clwydian trails. (I was more into running then though (about 5 years ago))
