Inspired by Martini's alcohol affected musing and trying to clean up my photo files last nite while watching the Donkeys I thought a photo tribute to all 29"ers rigid was in order. As per Marty's visioni most of these are SS but not all. Many of these have been posted on here before but perhaps setting them all in one thread will help inspire others to create their own version of rigid reality

Here's to ya Marty! And in no particular order and don't forget to post your favorites.

Nates Potts w/toggel cams. sawheat!
Possibly the most beautiful bike I've ever seen. The Don.
Bob Browns exquisite lugged frame. So its got a fork. The lugs more than make up for it!

This is gonna be a popular one, Bobo.

My $.05.

I know the Strong has an AT fork on it, but many would argue that that's the same as rigid...

Sweet Atlantis.

I've always wanted one of those, but they are out of my price range. I was thinking about building up a poor mans Atlantis out of a Surly Long Haul Trucker.

More from my old pic pile. Sorry for the sussers on the Soulcraft.

I like those OX Brand bikes. Always thought they were sweet looking.

BTW, anyone know what happened to them? They had alot of steam when they launched, even a review in Bike Magazine. Looking at the website recently, doesn't look like it's changed in a couple of years.

My contribution...

It now has a fillet brazed stem (no spacers!) and I have taken the rack off and fitted a Caradice roll barbag and rear mudguard as the rack didn't keep the mud off my skinny butt.

I'm sure Luke (LJintheUK) will be along shortly with his blue and orange beauties

Who makes the frame in the second and last picture?

(Edit Cloxxki : pic names says OX proto, so I'm guessing OX Brand.)

This is the basic frame i have drawn up for my next 29er. Anyone know who makes this?
web site? phone number?

Thanks
