The Frame arrived!
It was pretty dirty, so I cleaned it up a little. Apart from some paint scratches around the chainstays with a little rust it seems solid. No rust inside the seattube and BB-shell which is nice.
I still have to measure out the seatpost. the clamp area seems a little crimped inwards, which would speak for 26.6 and someone who used a 26.2 post.
I have some plans on wheels. There are some cheap 26" wheelsets to be had with Exal XL 25 rims laced to cheap shimano hubs. I think one of these will do. Heavy as fuck, but the 25mm internal width and 36 spokes make it bombproof and better for wider tires.
The tires are probably going to be 26*2,3" Kenda Kiniption semislicks. That's going to be fun.
@kifla what gear ratio do you use with yours? I have a nice 18t cog for casette hubs, but don't quite know what to pair with it...
