Traded my m8 a SimWorks Rhonda for this frame. It's a bit of a mystery, as I haven't been able to find one like it anywhere. It is labeled as a "Sport Cross," but all of the ones I've found online are lugged/not purple. This one is tigged, and very light. Tubeset sticker says "Miyata exclusive" blah blah. It's very possible it's not even a Miyata at all, as the decals are over-top of the paint. Tire clearance is through the roof. I think my m8 had a 29x2.1 setup in it at one point. So, the first thing I did was build up a light/fat wheelset for it. DT350s (with a 54t ratchet upgrade) to polished Velocity Quills running Compass 44s tubeless. Drivetrain will be 2x11 Potenza with White Ind VBCs and Ti bb (last couple pieces I'm waiting on). Gold kmc x11L cuz they're on sale and the tubeless valves I had laying around are gold. Purp/Gold royalty? This is by far my blingiest build. Cockpit to start will be NOS 3T dirt drop stem (has anyone run a slammed dirt drop stem? lol) I scored and some Nitto RM-013s. Paul Mini-motos. Polished, of course.
