** Stooge Mk6 **

I've had three of the biplane forks so happy to see a wee change, all the other frames still use the biplane though.

It's triple-butted and tapered which I've only just noticed, think it works really well the the straight lines of the frame now though.

Having said that, glad I didn't pick the blue!
 
Conversely, I think the blue is probably the nicest looking stooge since the purple dirtbomb!

Love the straight forks, look great.
 
Just ordered the wheels for this, DT Swiss 350 straight-pull hubs and FR541 rims in 29 as the Moxie is 27.5 and also thinking it’ll be a single speed build too.

Have some MT7 brakes coming too that’ll go on the Moxie and the neon MT8 will go on the Stooge.

Looks great that :cool:
 
Wheels, headset and cog arrived today 😎

CK is 2nd hand but the cups are mint.

Wheels are DT FR 541 laced to straight pull DT 350 hubs, all black but with silver nipples.

Surly cog is a 22 cos I’m old 😋

That’s the chain here now, think that’s pretty much everything, just a case of waiting until the frame and forks arrive! 😃

Have to admit to being a little disappointed with the Surly cog not really matching with the Ti chainring, so I emailed Ed and asked if he could make one.

Turns out he has actually made a few prototypes already, just not got around to making them an actual product, so he’s making me one!

Here’s an 18 that he’s produced already. 😎

Well-chuffed! 😃
