  • I'd want a slacker HT angle if it was me and I planned to actually shred off road on this?

    I'd also suggest some rack mounts for any potential overnighters, would be lots more fun not to have to have a backpack or poorly secured luggage!

    Perhaps worth considering seat tube size and routing with a view to being able to add a dropper seatpost too? That and mounts for a rear disc brake too would make for an epic all rounder that you could change around a bit to suit when it's finished...

    Maybe give some thought to how geometry would be affected if you decided to put a Lauf fork on it at some stage too, you'd pretty much have my dream off road mile munched there then!

    Pink sparkles indisputably the right choice here though.

  • All good suggestions, however, I already have my Ogre and Wolverine that cover all the bases when it comes to lugging stuff over proper distances off road.

    I think the fun of this will be keeping it as simple and as “track bike” as possible.

  • You're in Edinburgh right? Who's your friend who's building it then? I know of Shand and Andy at Eastside Bikes, are there more? I'd like to get into framebuilding/custom frames etc. so just like to be aware of the people who I might want to talk to one day :)
