TD-1 29er rigid Ti prototypes
This is a Ragley project to design a different sort of endurance (24hr) race bike. Twinklydave who has been riding for “me” for a while now only ever runs rigid forks, so I figured a rigid only bike would make sense. Lynskey made these samples – we’re planning alloy and titanium versions. Maybe steel too for the more recreational version (steel is a bit heavy to be competitive in the weight stakes for a race bike, but nice for trail riding of course).
We are testing 2 head angles on these samples. Front one has 72deg, back one has 70deg. The front one works with a 440mm short rake fork, the back one, with a longer raked fork. We'll see.
Adjustable wheelbase with very long bolts. That needs sorting. Might make adjustment slot shorter for production as I don't think anyone needs that much adjustment. Bet someone copies this before I get chance.
Dropouts come with SS option.
Three finger chainstay plate is a good idea for 29ers and protects against chainsuck in muddy races.
Lynskey slot out behind the back of the downtube to save weight.
The BB is also slotted and drilled.
Massive downtube ovalised to support BB area.
Having a cuddle.

For the record
The last time I rode a 456 offroad.
He's 10 now. And I've got a whole lot less hair.
