The Shand Ioma is the slackest hardtail mountain bike on the market, hand built in Livingston, Scotland from a Reynolds 631 tubeset
Last weekend at the Tweedlove Festival, Shand Cycles showed their latest creation; the Shand Ioma. It’s a steel hardtail with an ultra-slack 60° head tube angle, complete with a Works Components 2° angleset that can take it as steep at 62° or as slack at 58°. Hardcore hardtail, or what? Do correct me if you know otherwise, but we think that could be the slackest hardtail available on the market.
If you’re unsure as to which of the 12 sizing options would suit you best, Shand will work with each customer individually to fit them to the best sizing option for them, based on their height, torso length, inside leg length, shoulder width, arm length… you get the idea. Besides the wildly slack head angle, the Shand Ioma has another point of interest. The bike shown at Tweedlove had an eccentric press fit bottom bracket. The Ioma will be sold a a frame only, but also available will the the “adjustable pack”, which includes the aforementioned Ride Works angleset, but also an eccentric 47mm Press Fit bottom bracket, also from Ride Works.
Rear-end dimensions on the Ioma are 148mm x 12mm. That, and the curvature of the Columbus Zona stays give clearance for a 27.5″ x 2.8″ tire, or a 29″ x 2.4″ tire. An internal IS mount is used to mount the rear brake caliper allowing for a maximum rear rotor size of 200mm on all frame sizes.
