Hulsroy's Hustle

Yeah they look the part.
But as you can see I had to do some milling to make it fit. The spider didn't fit which makes me think there was a difference in arm angles from between MTB and Road big foots.
Hopefully it will work. If not it was a very expensive experiment :(

Any specific concerns?

Well, not anymore. Tested it now. I have ordered a wider BB and I have to move the chainring to the inside unfortunately :(

Ah, that's too bad

Not too bad I guess

Wouldn’t be possible to just flip the whole spider?

I tried that. It looks a bit weird

Weirder than chainring on the inside? ;)
One way or another, it’s a dope crankset so whatever works

:)

Chainline is 47mm on the inside so pretty much ideal. I'll try building it up and place chainring on the outside.

Looks fine on the inside I reckon. At least the tabs are fully anodised.

If anything how about a svelte bashring on the outer position?

Yeah bash guard is in my thoughts, but I paid quite a lot for the chainring so I'd like to flash it a bit :)

Cock pit pondering

You know what you need to make then?

Bull moose loop bar...
I’ll let you have that one for free

Genius

Ta.

I am tempted by the chunky Thomson som eother min loop bars I have back in DK + running the carbon forks I have. It will be a while before I can take this bike packing and it would be fun to have it set up light weight with semi slicks for summer. I will have time to try both I reckon and let that decide

ALSO I am picking up my frame from @Manson7am tomorrow. Watch this space...

both so strong, I'd go for the bullmoose to match the aesthetic

Thanks. I agree bullmoose go well with the steel forks.

Dude! Thanks @Manson7am your work is so dope.
Can't wait for sunshine...

Wew!

Perhaps I missed it, but what’s this decaleur? Is it just a bar extender with an eccentric disc insert?

1 Attachment

Yes. I made the the eccentric part. Real easy to do. Just drill hole off center and cut a groove. Disc is cheap 22.2mm alu and tube is 10mm

This is great work, both of you.
Inspiring stuff you do @Manson7am!

I will take some better photos when I get a chance.
But lovely hand made finish to it all...

And here with frame pump and bars...

Not sure if this is the right headset for it.
