NS Bikes Eccentric ALU 2015 Rock Shox Lyrik Sram X9 XX SLX Brakes Thomson stem etc. Spank Subrosa wheels

NS Bikes Eccentric ALU 2015 with 26" wheels and 160" lyrik - the geometry and HT angle is perfect! Best bike/build I've had.

That's really nice! How does it ride/climb?

Thanks! Rides amazing! This is a size medium, the last two bikes I've had (Ragley Piglet 2 and Nukeproof Mega AM) were both size small - I think I should have gone up a size long ago..
NS bikes writes that the frame is designed to fit 650B, but works with 26" also - they recommend fork travel from 130mm - 150mm, so I guess that running 26" wheels and a slightly longer fork, keeps the geometry and BB height as intended - at least I'd like to think so - and really the HT angle is perfect.
Climbs good and fast, a much better climber than the Piglet I had before (that frame is designed to 26" only, so 160mm fork might have been a tad to slack) - again this one is perfect with 26" wheels and 160mm fork.

Sounds really good. I am just trying to decide which HT frame that i should buy as my full sus bike is a bit over the top for some of the trails that I ride and my son has kind of adopted the Cotic that I have (or had) Big Grin

Hey guys, intending on changing the rims on my Meta SX HT to Nukeproof Generator AM's. Question is, silver/grey with gold nipples or yellow with normal nipples?

Neither, given the choice. But out of those two options, yellow rims.

Sweeeeet! Big Grin

Man that angle makes it look really slack, maybe it is...

wyhall1, is this the frame you're looking for?
