Re: Modern Hardtails

Well I’m currently riding a very unfashionable El Mariachi with a 100mm fork and no dropper so even something vaguely sensible like a Solaris Max would be a fairly radical change. The thing I’m looking at is a Ragley Big Al frame (£280) but my main questions are 1) how do these things ride loaded 2)...

Modern Hardtails

After sneering and resisting for years, I’m starting to get a bit curious around these ridiculous looking low low slack things as my son is expressing an interest in trail centres and they do look like fun.

Are they actually any use for bikepacking?

Son delux hub 12mm TA centrelock 32h

As described

This has been built up but is essentially new internally as reconditioned by the manufacturer in Germany with all the bits replaced.

Bought in error - I need the Son 28.

Salsa Warroad 54.5 - any interest

I bought a 54.5cm Warroad 105 700c direct from the importer earlier in the year. It’s the red frameset. I’ve made a few tweaks to it but not actually ridden it yet as I’ve been mainly using my MTB. I’ve sold the cheap wheelset that it came with so will be available without wheels. Also swapped the b...

Revelate Tangle XS

Bought this for my son’s bike but it’s too big. Used with mud marks and some rubbing inside the bag but good condition overall. Probably only suitable for smaller adult frames - perhaps a 15” or so. Might get away with it on a small surly mtb or similar. For reference probably 1” too short for my me...

I’m after something to build up as a commuter / tourer, like a croix de fer. Has to be QR as I have a nice Dynamo wheelset to go with it.

Anyone got anything lying around?
