Nice!
31 x 18 is pretty low though...i used to run 34 x 18 on my 29er, and 32 x 18 on my pugsley, and that was for the scottish hills.
Look forward to seeing it built. :)

The Ebay seller just got in contact to say that the belt drive set-up he has available to buy is a 42:22. This gives me 55.5" instead of the planned 50.5". Thats a fair amount of difference, but I reckon it'll be feel a lot better on flat gravel trails. Long climbs will just have to involve more shouldering.

Just need to work out how the fund the extra purchase.

The rims be lighter than those ones! 400gm :) But strong enough to take my weight, ahem. They're these...

Thats going to be one seriously fast packable bike!

I have a great mental image of you standing at the station, with the suits folding out their 15Kg bromptons, while watching you put together that red'n'white speed machine ;)
