Just had a quick service and a new front mech mount after the carbon one exploded and nearly killed the frame. its riding well

That's super nice! Get some proper cranks for it tho...

@germanmarc you have a moral obligation to get that road frame and build them up matchy matchy...

Been using my coffee break to mount some parts on my first generation Master. Coffee breaks are never long enough...

I like to take work brakes in between my coffee drinking.

I'm having a meeting with my boss tomorrow; will make the suggestion and say people are much more productive that way.

Built a frame for myself earlier this year, obviously it's custom but the geo is pretty much 59X59, 72 degree HT and ST with 72.5mm BB drop for dat slammed racey feel and a 185mm HT so I can be comfy in the drops all the time. Set up with 110mm 0 degree stem and 805mm saddle height for CX steez.

It has clearance for 29x2.2 tyres front and rear at a pinch, internal rear brake cable routing (with guides) 2 sets of bottle bosses.

Columbus spirit rounded rectangular TT for easy shouldering, max DT and ST, Zona fork and Zona CX specific stays with custom bends/dents, 68mm road BB and 130mm rear spacing.

The horrible paint is only temporary as I'm planning on taking it on a wet trip to swinley this weekend and didn't want the raw frame to rust, I'm thinking of getting a relatively dark purple with gold flakes done when I can.

Lever/bar angle still to be dialed in, I also want to rebuild the hubs (phil LF track) to some wider chinese crabon rims and get some paul mini moto brakes with CK HS and BB.

Rides fantastically and weighs 9.1KG as is, frame is 1750gms.

39/19 with 172.5mm cranks.

Excellent. And looks mad fun.

Great work!

That looks pretty perfect. What are the current rims? A set of Reflexes with some proper gumwall tubs would look so good.

You're going to upset quite a few weekend warriors at Swinley.

lovely paintjob

@Hulsroy @umop3pisdn thanks guys :)

Current wheelset is phil LF track hubs to tb14 rims, most likely going with a set of these next.

My plan is to upset all the MAMTBers, might even bring down my garmin to try rinse the KOMs on some climbs ;) I definitely wanna do some little jumps on this too, gotta prove my work.

@IR: the first frame that fits you well :)
looks similar to my orlowski

Very good

Ugh, that's lush

Thanks, I'm saving for second hand rotors Rotors! SiSl2 are too expensive :(

Good work, did you get the tubes from ceeways?

Cheers and yeah ceeway via the bicycle academy. Came in only a couple of days.

That is bloody lovely.
Did you actually build the frame yourself? How/when/where?

I'm guessing there's a clue in the previous post...

the bicycle academy

Bloody good work indra
elegant.

Cheers guys :)

In other bike related news I rescued an old 'dale MTB destined for the skip today.

About a 60cm TT so it'll fit me.

I have an SSCX bike and a practical MTB so I'm tempted to build this up either as a budget weight weenie or with a rack and 'guards. Either way it'll be converted to SS!

These are pretty wild stripped down on Kojaks.
