Dammit do you have a website or more details about costs?

I don't know what the rules are on commercial posts, so I'll not link to our website.

The following picture may contain a clue:



The hardtail pictured in the posts above is based on the clients request for something with a cross-country focus that could still take abuse - something that is not particularly well catered for in the OTP market.

Dropper posts have made this kind of bike a realistic all-day trail centre weapon, and something that Matt (the framebuilder) particularly enjoys building (he's a mountain biker, I'm the road biker).

Each frame is made to the clients particular requirements - frame size will define tube choice, as will intended use, then we have type of dropout, internal or external cabling, etc etc, so each frame will have it's own price tag.

As a guide the frame that I've pictured is around the £1,200 mark.

They are lovely things, kudos. Fairly sure you are on the correct side of advertising rules, but I'm not a mod! biggrin

We just finished this - carbon ISP, direct-mount rear brake tucked just behind the BB, fully internal wiring and cabling.



The owner rode it today for the first time and loved it, always a bit heart stopping when they throw a leg over it for the first time!

....and now my thoughts start to turn to a hard-tail, just to keep things honest. Hmmmmm.......

Oh. My. Word.

That's a stunning looking bike, I can't believe I've never noticed this thread in the past!

Still haven't, quite a few rides including Woburn bike park, and me at 250lbs. Sorry!
