fka Splat's That (Bristol-Bath cycle path destroyers)

It's an XT-M786 mech, XT 780 shifters (both 10 speed).

Chainline is good, 45-46mm. It's a triple crankset, so the chainring is effectively where the middle ring would normally be. I just used a 5mm narrower bottom bracket than Shimano specified, because the rear frame spacing is 130mm (vs the 135mm MTB spacing they specced it for).

Love the idea and the build so far! Can't wait to see the outocome!

That's pretty much finished, for now.

A friend who's a seamstress (is there a gender-neutral word for that? Seamster?) is going to teach me some bits - so it's a couple of custom bags, next.

I missed the whole second page! :D I love it.

Fantastic build, hasn't lost any of its character but it looks bang up to date.

Never been a big fan of silver Archetypes before but they look really good with the larger volume tyres.

Thanks!

How’s the smoothness/noise in the larger cogs?

More than acceptable. I suspect running an 11 speed chain would probably be slightly better.

oh yesssssss. turned out amazing

Rather sweet

great build

Loving your work 💪💪

Man, sooooooo good

Fantastic.

No to the blue pedals in the end? Looks great either way

Stunner!

Yeah, I bottled it.

Cheers, much faffing but got there eventually.

Ta. Next project will involve a bit more fabrication, hopefully.

Saw this in Dublin today

Great spot.

Bike looks gorgeous!

(Jello outers?)

Ta!

It's actually some Bontrager stuff.

Love this. It looks even better than I imagined it could when I saw the initial frame pictures. Awesome work!

So great.

Wow, mad envy, this is absolutely fantastic!
