• Some weeks ago I bought a RLT 9 Steel size 56 frameset on the cheap, however it's an "older" post mount frame so I am gonna do some modifications. I don't think this will be a fast build, here is the plan.

    Mods:

    1. Swap out the (front) fork for a FK-CS01
    2. Sandblast it to get rid of the horrible "dirty white" and "ranger red"
    3. Cut of the rear post mount
    4. Weld on a rear flat mount
    5. Drill the downtube for internal rear brake cable/hose
    6. Remove seat stay bridge
    7. Spray the frame, fork and hubs bright green
    8. Finish it with parts

    Parts (bought):

    • Niner RLT9 Steel size 56 frame
    • FK-CS01 carbon fork
