Yup!
I'm going to use an unknown builder, a chap I know that runs my lbs. He's not taking formal orders right now but I'm hoping this can be a nice showcase of skill if he wants to go more mainstream in the future.
He's built mountainbikes that are holding up well and have some nice but simple and clean detailing

This should be good for the sort of riding I do most of these days: a combination of gravel, lanes, single track and some hike-a-bike, and some tarmac.
I always said the cross-check was my favourite bike and this is meant to be a more personalised version of that. The one bike I would keep, if it came to that.
It'll be quite similar in some ways to a 50cm Soma Wolverine, but with a few subtle differences.
