Aug 17, 2026Stooge Scrambler [18"] - Frame and Fork...
$1100 CADI’ve got a 2026 Stooge Scrambler for sale. You are buying a lightly used frame & fork with thru-axles, seatpost collar and Cane Creek headset. This frame was used as my “gravel bike” and for touring. Built up in Feb 2026. This is the 18” size and I decided I would prefer the larger frame so I am selling to up size.
This frame has all the braze-ons for carrying H20 and gear:
• 3 pack mounts on each side of the fork
• 3 pack mounts on top of the DT
• 3 pack mount under the DT
• 2 bottle mounts on ST
• Rack mounts on the rear end
• Threaded mount in fork crown and barrel mounts at top of fork for racks/baskets
The Scrambler has style for days and offers a very comfortable riding position. It’s a fine commuter/gravel/touring bike and can be a fun unloaded ATB for shredding MTB trails. There’s lots of room for fenders if you want to stay dry/clean on your commute.
The frame has an EBB for easy singlespeed setup. This also allows you to raise or lower the BB height to accommodate 27+, 29er or 29+ tires.
Some notes:
• Frame was well taken care of and never crashed.
• There are some paint chips/scratches from normal use.
• Fork is uncut and full length.
• Geometry chart is included as one of the photos.
Stooge Scrambler product info:
https://stoogecycles.co.uk/product/https-stoogecycles-co-uk-product-scrambler/
Stooges says this frame fits 5'6" - 6' depending on proportions and preferences. Female rider in last photo is 5'6" for reference.
This is a very fun bike to ride that puts a smile on your face whether you are in the middle of a week long tour or just cruising town with your buddies.
The Scrambler frame & fork cost $1700 to get shipped from the UK. I am selling this frame & fork for $1100 firm with pick up in Comox near Quality Foods.
I would prefer a local sale, but I am willing to meet someone as far away as the Nanaimo ferry terminal for a hand off or to pack for shipment. Buyer pays shipping/delivery costs.

Final Results: 2026 Megavalanche
I don't think there is a secret to that to learn. It's really just a crapshoot. Even if you are perfect someone else can wipe out and take you down. If he's willing to keep riding enough of these events he'll come out on top eventually.
Hard to say if the $$ to make it happen and the risk of injury is worth it.

5 Years in the Making: Cumberland Opens Their Most Ambitious Backcountry Trail Project Yet
I'm the first to criticize some of the Cumby trail ratings.
That said the terrain/trails in the new 979 loop are definitely not "Blue at the most". If you ride hard trails on the Sea to Sky the tech challenge isn't going to blow your mind. Presumably you are not traveling to Cumberland for that experience. But I wouldn't send someone who is not comfortable on black diamond trails on this ride.
In particular if you are pedaling your way around the route without a motor I wouldn't underestimate the combination of the physical effort and technical challenge.
I've ridden this route a few times prior to the official opening and expected them to call it a double black since Cumby ratings are often inflated. So I was pleasantly surprised to see the black diamond rating. I think that's a fair assessment of the ride.

Kona Announces Mixed-Wheel Unity Bikepacking Hardtail
Kona has a Canadian HQ. Not sure if that's the main office or not, but you can buy it from there if that's more palatable. It's coming from Taiwan anyways.

What Pinkbike's Tech Editors Actually Wear on Rainy Rides: The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly
Yup. RRP Max up front. PDW splash guard on the DT and MH in the rear. Riding all winter on the Wet Coast is pretty comfortable and a lot less messy.

Dec 3, 2025Norco Torrent Frame - Medium...
$500 CADI'm got a medium Norco Torrent frame for sale. Lightly used with no crashes or damage. You are buying a frame + headset + seat collar clamp + rear thru axle. The complete bike is just shown so you can see what it looks like built up.
This is steel 29er frame meant to be built with a ~150mm travel fork. The BB is high enough to work as a mullet if you want.
Price is $500 firm with pick up in Comox, BC. I'm open to shipping.
