epic stable! tell more ..

That would've perfect! The headtube of the frame is already 210mm though haha so i need a massive steerer

I have some very light Look forks that were on my Moots before I went 3T Funda.

Fifty quid?

It’s a medium Cruz Chameleon with Sram Gripipshift to GX derailleur mated to XT cassette and cranks with Wolf Tooth ring. XT brakes and rottors. XT rear hub, and SP dynamo front hub laced to Race Face Arc 45s. The SP hub is powering a Sinewave Beacon with a bodged together mount, hopefully going to replace the mount with something 3D printed. CobbleGobbler seatpost supporting a carbon Power saddle, Thomson stem and carbon Cruz bars round out the cockpit. Random Wolf Tooth B-Rad bits and bags, with Wolf Tooth dual bottle cage mounts supporting Spec Carbon Z cages.

Hopefully today I’ll start moving everything over to the carbon Chameleon frame and installing a King BB and headset.

Dare I ask - are you planning to sell the old frame one day?

Yup, with stock wheels, cranks, and seatpost. Unfortunately it’s in the the wrong Cambridge and I’m not sure I’m going to drag it across the pond with me when we visit in May.

Mostly XC

with those tyres?!

I have the same tyres and they're surprisingly rapid. Even on the tarmac they roll quickly. Great xc tyre.

but they're fucking massive

You say that like it’s a bad thing...

Kids these days

Just picked up a turbo punter Arkos. Would put up a better pic but I feel a punter screen grab is fitting...

Exactly. They're 100% awesome.

Such welds, very external cable, much alloy steerer fork.
Should have bought mine ;)

Ha! Shut it. Yours would have been too big.

Will prob upgrade the frame soonish.

Also reported for cyber bullying.

You wanna meet up? I’ll gladly bully you about it in person if that’s any better for you?

Can tell you’re not a tough guy as you didn’t end with “mate”.

Mate.

Reported for grooming too

Can’t a guy meet other young guys on the internet without being branded a groomer any more? What has the world come to. Thanks Brexit.

Current build. Awful cranks are awful, slightly bent changing and chain make it interesting every now and then. If anyone has some square taper 165s I'm all ears.

I had one of those, got it for something like £60 I build it up on the cheap and I do miss it from time to time, it was surprisingly nice to ride.

Cant remember who I sold it too, but I hope they're enjoying it still.

What light is this btw?

A Hope Vision 1, two people separately stopped me to ask if I had converted a coke can into a light.

Lovely! Mines a replacement for a snapped Pre Cursa. Just whacked a large Wald on the front not dissimilar to your second setup. Really quite a nice bike to ride.
