So... some of you may know I particularly dislike my On-one Parkwood, but not for any particular reasons... I just hate it... so..... I've bought a new frame. It's a frame I've been looking for.. a 29er XC lightweight frame, it's not Ti, i'm still planning on a Ti build later this year. I plan to put my 29er 140mm Revs on it, and swap over a few more components as you do. But as I've got home from work in a stinking mood, and the dog isn't around to kick... (he's in my side of the bed, with the enemy!!) im only going to tell you the colour of it... Enduro Blue

It is mainstreamish actually, I looked at the Cotic Solaris but it runs the rear qr at 135mm I require 12x142 maxle.. Also an English threaded BB as I hate creaky BB's.. And hydro formed alu, not the heavier monocoque... Yes it's Alu, as I have plans for a Ti later..

Can't be an Inbred because they're all steel!
It's not an On One, is it?

It's not as niche as Stanton... And no, I'm parting ways with on-one..

I didn't think about Charge when wondering what to buy :s that might be a bummer!... But no it's not a charge, nor is it English

Enduro Blue whats wrong with the parkwood as was just looking at them for my build Richard, I'd love to be able to answer that, for my own comfort more than any. It just doesn't inspire me. I don't enjoy riding it. It doesn't call out to be ridden when it's in the Garage... I've owned a lot of bikes probably approaching 20 in 2 years... And this bike feels numb and boring... Even for a 29er ... However don't let that put you off, it might well be your best ride ever!..
