Hurrah!

We should do an overnighter to Over Phawhope when you get this for its maiden voyage.

Absolutely. Consider it done.

Count me in.

Good stuff @mostly_by_bike

I'm eagerly awaiting updates from the builder...

No sneak peek? Colour? Suspense...

I've got a new theory as to who is building it, my money is on E*** ***e Bikes (censored so as not to ruin the surprise) - am I right?

You're almost bang on! Actually it's Armour Custom Bicycles (@armourcustombicycles on Instagram). Just so happens that's the same chap wot runs my LBS (Eastside)

And no, no sneak peeks yet. I suspect he's busy thinking about how to fit all the silly things together without anything going wrong...

In terms of colour I am considering fliptone with a rainbow sparkle metal flake in the clearcoat.

@Cupcakes update?

Front triangle has become A Thing.

Headtube was custom machined. It's beefy.

Hoping to have this done for the summer :)

Needs more pics.

Still need to finish custom 3D printed tube bending blocks to redo the seatstays for proper tyre and crank clearance.

I am looking into getting a custom frame bag from a local company.

Here's a photo from the initial fitting session... Note the custom machined head tube /beer can.

Clearance at the fork crown looks spot on.
