This thread is probably a bit premature, but I received the frame today and since I can't start building it I'm going to post photos of it on the internet.
The plan is to build up something that is fun round town, and can also be taken on the occasional big ride. The main problem has been tracking down an appropriate fork, which has been made difficult due to the 1" headtube which is also quite long. I've recently tracked down an old set of carbon Giant OCR forks which are appropriately big, but they will be more of a stop-gap than anything else.
Otherwise the build won't break any new ground, due to me being cheap. Flite/ Sugino Messenger/ quill/ risers should be fun and affordable. Itching to strat riding it essentially.
Will do my best to keep this vaguely updated/ interesting.
