Welcome Andy, nice to see you came over to Chinertown, MTBR gets a little snippety at times.

Much in the same way that -26F is "a little chilly". MTBR forums are why I gave up on forums several years ago. Chiner has been so very nice in comparison. There's so very little dick waving, and if I revert to any MTBR-style douchery, kick my ass.

Hello Chinertown.
I'm a bike commuter in Tasmania, Australia going on 7 yrs and for that run I use an electric 14AHr | 250w | Bafang BBS01 on a 26" carbon: http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=64837&sid=c28cc7a2d0abae21a56735f8dfa770e5

...as well as an 8Kg carbon roadie for fun with a local "knit your own lycra / tree-hugger / lefty" bike club.

With new trails opening up here in Tasmania I needed a bike to explore them and I've settled on a 29er.
The build thread for which won't make itself, so see you later.

Chris.

Hello Carbonfan, welcome to the forum.  When you registered you became a forum member.  There is nothing special you need to do other than introduce yourself which you already have.  I believe you need to post at least 5 times before you can start a thread of your own.

We welcome vendors on the forum but please keep any advertising to a minimum, we like to know about new products and we appreciate vendors answering questions.

Please enjoy!

Hello,

Just wanted to quickly introduce myself as you may see me popping in for some questions here and there.  My name is Brian and I am trying to get back into mountain biking as a hobby.  I was very active in mountain biking 15 years ago, but life seemed to get in the way of all the fun.  Well i'm back and am eager to get started building a new bike.  I will be working on a 29er very shortly, and hope to hit the trails soon.

Welcome Brian, let us know if you have any questions. We are here to help.

Greetings fellow Chinertowners. Name is Brian in Phoenix, Arizona. I have been reading about these frames off and on for over a year now and finally think its time to pull the trigger. I had it all figured out that I would order in IP-057 from Peter at xmiplay, only to find out he had just left the company     So this leaves me with a dilemma, do I order from Peter's new business, knowing the guy has a solid rep for customer service? Or do I go with someone at xmiplay and hope they are as responsive as Peter? Looking forward to this and it will be my first bike build. LOVE this website!! Ton of good info on here

^^ skeeter97, I recently had a great experience dealing with Peter. That was while he was "between companies". He was very responsive, We had several emails a day for a few days while I sorted out the details. Based on several other potential dealers I contacted I got the best communication and the best "feeling" from him. I would advise emailing your initial questions out to a few dealers and see what you get back. From my own experience, I would recommend Peter.

I second that. I ordered my wheels and frame from Peter before he had his new business up and running. Great communication.

Welcome, Brian.  I'm also in Phoenix (well, Mesa).  Hit me up if you want to go riding or test out a 256.
