Tijs' Crust ↯

Looks great:) I think silver chainrings would look good on this. To have a bit of silver to match the wheels

I think they would too, I just don't want to disturb the black theme too much.

Good composition of parts, only thing that throws me is that the logos on the tyres are too noisy because of brown and white. All black would make the build more coheesive imo.

Buuuut I'm also OCD and frankly pretty insane when it comes to noise so...

Agreed, Panaracer’s logo is very loud.

Might upgrade to 48c from a certain manufacturer with a more subtle logo in the future. Or pick up a permanent marker in the meantime.

POSCA is your friend hehe

Panaracer’s logo is very loud

Feel lucky that you don't mtb

lovely build.
i'm not too fussed by the tyre logos - and sharpie'd out logos always look terrible up close IME
i'm down with the pink tape as well.

looking forward to seeing it adorned with racks and such like

Mtb is supposed to be loud and obnoxius though. The more neon you wear the better like.

I’ll have you know this is my MTB.

Subtle logo you say, a fine Cava or Rose perhaps?

You know what dulls a logo? Riding the bike

Heretic!

I’ll have you know this is my ATB

FTFY. Show me a dutch mountain and I’ll revoke the edit ;)

No thread for this one - built it up in a hurry. But I'll drop some updates into the current projects thread every now and then.

Are you planning to fit mudguards?

Not for the moment. This will start out as my fair weather bike, and I don’t want to unnecessarily weigh it down.

What about now though.

Current weight is 9.7 kg, measured with a pound store luggage scale. (Yes, I did buy it just for this occasion.)

Well played!

That's about the same as my transition rapture with carbon forks, post and light stem/bars...

So either this is light or mine is heavy!!

Oh, hello.

Wowsers

Once again @Tijmen did an amazing job.

Originally meant to go with my Muddy Fox, but I reckon it will suit the Crust just fine.
