Spooky Cycles made the only alloy hard tail I’d have looked at, the Darkside.
After they went away for a while, Frank The Welder started Sinister, they’re back with a suitably odd-ball range. The Horror Taxi is steel & designed for 650B wheels or good old 26inch & a longer fork. They do make them steep though.
For the Roadies, there’s the Skeletor, also the Supertouch crossbike & Kittenpaste fixie.
Kittenpaste?
‘Horror Taxi’? Kiwi, what IS it?? I’m confused, triple chainring but with a super short stem…???
Rad name. Not sure if I like it.. 650b is a tad, er, ‘fruity’.
Think the NS Society looks nicer yo.
650b is a bit niche, but these are custom, so I’d go 26 & a decent fork.
If I had the money.
Back in the day, Spooky pretty much invented the 4X, Dual Slalom, dirt-jump style hardtail. God they were expensive, though. Maybe FTW is onto something with his hideously fugly new creation?
Kiwi, your old DMR, with adjustable, creased downtube, was also very cutting edge 🙂
I’ve still got the DMR if you want to build it up Captain?
