I think it would be way too cramped. 18.5 to 19 fits be proper.

Yeah, Hellride sounds like an appropriate name for it.
I'm fully expecting a minimum of 2500m of gruelling climbing on that day/afternoon/evening

Why slag free swag?:rolleyes:

ummm, as your doctor i recommend against riding with a scaphoid fracture.

My new ride - Yeti Big Top - sold my Norco Sight 1 as having ridden hard tails all my life I missed the feedback from the rear end of the bike. I wanted something that I could race on and also be versatile enough to hit the trails. A bit of a risk for me having never ridden the bike before purchasing the frame but i've been lucky - its great. Only thing that has changed since the pic is the garish decals have been removed from the rims… it's now looking stealthy.

Took the Ragley Blue Pig Gnarpoon out for the first time this summer.

Despite the unfashionable wheel size it's still a ridiculously fun bike!

Has to be said that Aaron's On-One Parkwood 29er is faster uphill though.

i'm definitely one of the few using a front derailleur on a chromag at least according to the pics i see these days. maybe next year i'll switch but for now it is getting my old 9sp. new parts are the frame, fork, chromag cockpit. all else is old.

random: very sweet chrome surface on pb b[HTML_REMOVED]S ($1400). the old school bmx'er in me wants. add a bunch of red anno, and perhaps chrome profile cranks for a touch of retro authenticity…
