Pompetamine SSCX Build - Advise needed!

Very nice looking bike. Makes me want one.

Very nice.

Looks great. I'm doing a similar build at the moment. What are the wheels?

I built the wheels using rear hope pro2 evo trials/ss hub and front hope pro2 evo with mavic xm819 (29er) disc rims.

^ cheers. I had already ordered a Hope Pro 2 Evo for the front. I do like the look of your wheels.

they're super light relative to their strength

Great looking bike. Quick question... I've heard the warnings about using only centerlock hubs, so have you had any problems with the 6-bolt hubs and fork clearance? Any modifications or special low-profile bolts needed? Thanks!

Superb looking bike! niallpatterson, what is your exact height mate?

so ace.
out of interest how much did this cost to build.
If you dont mind me asking?

^this. super rad build. any idea how much it weighs?

Kona fork? Which model?

Kona fork? Which model?

That'd be a Kona P2. Among other configurations they came in 400ac, 45mm rake, triple-butted steel and disk mounts.

They're obviously not exactly light though, I'm waiting on a full-carbon disc fork from Taiwan to replace the P2 I have *.

*I'm probably going to die.

Thanks guys, to answer all questions:

I'm 6'1"

The bike cost me 1100 (I do work in a bike shop so slightly cheaper than off the shelf for all the parts)

it weighs 9.2kg

I might be missing something, but the forks on this bike are Tange Prestige, not kona...

Woops! Similar logo (and fork) so I just assumed that metriod was right and they're Kona ... now I look again it's pretty obvious they're not P2s.

Decals painted over in gloss... and some yummy new tyres!!

This is awesome! What height are you and which frame size did you to for?

i'm 80kg or there about and this is a large frame (56ish)

Thread dredge - 6 months in, what do you think of the Hylex now?

Thanks.

@andyp - I've got Hylex on my ride, and have been using them pretty much daily.
Pros: Good power and modulation, much better than the cable discs I was using before.
Cons: The levers need to be regularly adjusted (there's an allen key bolt) or they rattle, but it's a ~30s job
