Jericho was going having some issues a while back. personally, i'd look elsewhere.

 

[peter6061]

I really wanted one of those with the belt drive. They looked sweet. Hope they're able to make it back in the game.

thanks gay lord... at the moment i m dreaming of something exotic, but i ll prolly go with something less bling since i m a cheap wh0re...

 

[partsbara]

yeah.. i m sure they are nice, but at 1400 it s more than i wanna drop...

 

[partsbara]

they are boat anchors.

that is my only dilema... i enjoyed the feather weight bianchii CUSS, but i don t want to replace my SS frame every season...

being a 225 monster sucks sometimes...

i want reynolds.... FARK, I WANT IT ALL !!!!! (for 2 hundred bucks)

i had a chameleon as my DJ bike / 'as XC as i go' rig... that has been replaced with a DOC and i now ride trails / xc with the woman on the SS... i like the chameleon, but i need something a little more XC... 120 mm stem etc...

why not go with a spot?
or better yet try the darkside with a waltworks 29 his custom pricing is cheaper than some company base frames.there are tons of choices for nice frames other than IF...

i will never ride a 29er... next thing i d be hosting queer dinner parties like n8...

i actually looked at the spot as well... nice

Josh Ogle is the man behind Jericho, he is one of the nicest and coolest bike company guys you will ever meet. I understand he had some issues with a business partner a little while back and may be ramping back up. His bikes are super clean. The shop was in Emeryville/Oakland but not sure what's up these days.

 

[DNA]

Have you looked at On-One's Inbred?

 

[narlus]

a geared ss.

that sounds like a neat trick.

 

[OGRipper]

that sounds like a neat trick.

You know what he meant...track style drop wth a Rohloff...but as I recall most of his SS bikes use a concentric BB with a horizontal drop like a tandem.

Here is a little update from Bike Mag, looks like it's from '04:

Good 29ers are regoddamneddiculous.

Also I would shy away from Spot, long long wait for their frames. At least 6-8 months

 

[brungeman]

check out Soma's good stuff cheap!!!

 

[brungeman]

N8 may be ghey... but not all that ride 29'ers are











ok OK I admit it I'm campaigning one!!! they aren't for everyone!!! and I hate the fact that N8 rides one...

 

[partsbara]

i did look at soma actually... something to consider...

 

[stevew]

Sycip does single speeds I think.

 

[H8R]

I'll have to ask my buddy what Ogle is up to, I haven't seen him in a long time.

Jericho is on ice for now, as far as I know.

Soma's rock.


The new Monocogs are cheap/cool.

I understand he had some issues with a business partner a little while back and may be ramping back up. His bikes are super clean. The shop was in Emeryville/Oakland but not sure what's up these days.

The fabrication for Jericho is done by Jason "The Mutant" Grove nowdays. Jason fabricated two of my bikes and his work is impeccable. He's fabricated at Control Tech, Titus, Strong and Yeti at various times through the past 15 years or so. If he had the time and experience in design/engineering, he would probably be doing his own thing, but is quite content to fab for others from his shop in the East Bay. The Mutant nickname was given to him by a couple of Fruitians a few years ago because he has mad bike skills, including his infamous no hands wheelies on singletracks. I've never met the man.

VooDoo and Soma make some cool stuff. Or you could drop a lot of coin and get a Moots.

it had high torque issues- if you SS in flat areas, it'd be great.

as far as Jericho goes, Josh (owner type) supposedly is getting the whole shebang back up and running. some fine steeds, indeed. and not to mention Josh is a pretty cool guy to both have build a bike and hang with.

another opinion would be that the bikes come in fixed sizes (1-6?)- there is no customization, unless big bucks are dolled out. still, the sizing seems to work well and all.

 

[black noise]

Jerichos are very very nice. My dad almost got one and we went to the factory in Emeryville, Josh is a really cool guy and makes some beautiful bikes. Sadly Josh isn't the most on-the-ball guy, he's sort of a flake. I wouldn't get a Jericho if you need it quickly.

I rode the Payback, their main hardtail, and it was incredible. But when you get to the level of $1000+ hardtails, they're all amazing and it gets down to personal preference. There are tons of high-zoot frame shops in the Bay Area and you really couldn't go wrong with any of them.
