I can't find any info on the net regarding weight of the frames. I know there are a few owners on here and assume everyone weighed it as a bare frame?
How do you find the ride?
I'm 6'1" and like slightly more stretched out ride, (My large rooster has a lay back post and a 100mm stem).
I'm conscious it's a one size fits all and it may be a tad limited.
Cheers

Why not email Andy at Stooge, he's a helpful chap.

I seem to remember the Ti ones available custom? Stu has one doesn't he?

I seem to remember it coming in about 1800g but I might be wrong - it was zigrat who mentioned it when he got his.

The ride is very like the steel, but faster based on the huge weight saving, especially with a carbon fork too. The 29er and 29+ versions ride slightly differently as the former is a bit shorter on the chainstay. I've owned both but am now very happy with my 29+ one. If you're ever near Edinburgh you're welcome to try mine out alongside the steel version that I use as a singlespeed.

The Ti is available custom as they're made to order.

If you want to try one I am in Exeter usually one day a week.

I do have one and it's amazing! I think Alastairmc is right with the weight it comes in around 1800 grams all the ti's are custom geometry as mine has a longer top tube than the steel model so you can tweak thinks as you need, it's biggest let down for some is frame space for frame bags but it hasn't bothered me, mainly as I run half frame bag usually with water bottle under rear traingle which I had added.

Andy is sound and really helpful at getting you built what you need.

From memory mine weighs 25.9lbs built with pedals running 27.5"+ wheels my 29er wheels are 2.3lbs lighter and I still haven't put them on yet as the plus wheels are great fun.

Hope these help give you an idea.

Mines also available for a test ride if you need and are near the Yorkshire dales.

I never understand this - my rather lovely Wildcat Stooge framebag is massive, granted the TT is low compared to many bikes out there but there's a surprising amount of room in the triangle as it's nice and long and doesn't taper to a single point at the HT.

Yeah it never bothers me either as generally I use a half frame bag anyway, I guess if you look at the majority of frames they just seem to have a larger seat tube maybe that gives the impression of a generally smaller space.

Agree, there's more useable space in a Stooge framebag than most others, I reckon.

Thanks, I didn't realise you had one! It was difficult to tell on the ride, given the rain and mist. You could have been on a horse and I don't think I'd have noticed!! I may well take you up on this, cheers.



Appreciate everyone's contributions, I'll contact Andy. The fact the specs can be changed does make it appealing.

Cheers

And I cleaned it specially for that.
