Pinnacle Arkose Jack of All Trades...

Looks Awesome- not sure mine will look quite this good when finished...

My XL weighs 2640 grams including fork, headset, Hope seat clamp, gear drop and the mighty lump of eccentricity in the bottom bracket

It's not got any bartape fitted yet....

#shouldhavewenttospecsavers LOL

Yea they're defo not weight weenies. But their bang for buck is hard to resist

Thanks dude. I'm following your thread. I'm pretty sure yours will turn out awesome

I was being funny :-) still great build

oof, that is hefty!
You've done well to get yours to that weight.

Thanks :)

Just for you @Hulsroy :-D

Haha Looks lovely. I used to have Lizard in pink. Sticky stuff in dry weather, but I wasn't tooo happy about it for cx.

I never really had an issue with Lizard Skins, I always ride bare hands in all but the coldest weather and even in the wet the tape has been grippy. I done a few CX races last year, the gloves I wore had grippers on them and combined with the Lizard Skins tape made for a good combo

Well I got the CX side of this bike completely finished today. She's weighing a whopping 9.7kg as is! Clearly a bit of chubster.... Here's a few photo's of my fatty.............

9.7kg

Wow. Are the tyres particularly heavy? Seems like a lot for an alu frame/ carbon fork with carbon wheels.

Huge ebb weight? What's the ride like? It is looking really good!

Disc brakes, big rims, big tyres. My bike is full carbon and still heavy-ish. 9.7 kg is not heavy at all for this kind of bike

The frame, fork, headset & EBB weigh around 2.5kg. So it's a plumper before you even add parts... Think I've done ok considering the weight of the frame. I am slightly disappointed as for the same money I could have got a Chinese carbon frame over a KG lighter. But hey, it's not all about weight

So it had it's inaugural run in its present form. It was nicer than expected. It's shifts as it should and the wheels make it feel quite lively. Overall, I'm very happy with it!

@blacklisted @deasuk2013 or @chrismcr: Have any of you got the recommended torque for the excentric BB? Evans can't give an answer 'til monday, and I'd like to ride mine tomorrow. I've done it up reasonably tight, before I screwed in the BB, but the BB insert keep slipping.

I test rode one this afternoon and loved it. Trp brakes was shocking good.
I was wondering how you managed to fit a full length front mudguard.
The fork did not have a hole on the back for the bolt to run through.

There is a hole underneath the fork crown

@JesperXT Afraid not, I just tighten it until there's no real space between the bb edges... Not really a helpful response!

I've not built mine up yet- still waiting on parts, so can't answer I'm afraid

I just tightened it kinda tight..... :-)

Sadly this is now for sale :-(
