  Just received my bike. I did a 20k ride, definitely feel less “rollover” than my other bicycles. Maybe when I put more km on it will feel different. The PNW Coast dropper post is pretty cool/useful. WORSHIP ALL THE HEADSET SPACERS!

  No regrets!

  One more for good measure…

  Not mine will post my Neutrino when built up.

  A few questions. I set up the tubeless rims with foldable tires. They’ve held up with air with no problem. In your opinion is this sound? Trust me I won’t be going all out Sam Pilgrim on it.

  Desperation is setting in. I may be still able to snag an XXL frame. Would you recommend? Looking at the numbers my stand over is not an issue it’s the reach I’m second guessing at. Perhaps shorter stem
  a gaggle of spacers?

  First world problems. That being said please have peace in the Ukraine.

  If you’re enjoying your Neutrino in it’s current state all the power to you. Nice to have options.

  I know this is another bucket of worms did you set up tubeless? I pretty sure the Maxxis Grifters you have are tubeless or in the BMX world “foldable”.

  Winters are not kind to the roads out here after a thaw. I appreciate that little bit of cushioning.

  The frame was supposed to drop after last Christmas and now is delayed until maybe this March. Who knows maybe even longer.

  I put a pre-order on a frame so it’s on!

  I could get my hands on a XXL, but I’m thinking the reach will be too long. I don’t want a little bike that’s TOO BIG…

  I’m going to equip it with a dropper post too. I’m dropper curious.

  Thanks! By looking at your build I’m trying how to figure out how I’m going to build mine. (I’m a little shorter than you).

  Is that what the weather is like in the UK now? Out here in Canada we’re getting an arctic blast… pretty darn “crispy” out here.

  On post #67 what length did you cut the steerer tube to? I was thinking that might be the sweet spot.

  I got 100mm of spacers plus the height of the stem clamp which is I believe 40mm.

  So a few months back when I decided I was going in for the plunge. Amazon.com (not.ca) had the Zee derailleur for $60 Cdn so that was a no brainer. I bought free ride option so I can run a 11x36.

  I searched around further and the shifter and crankset was there too. For under $250 I might as well keep going that route.

  Greetings and Happy Holidays from Canada!

  Thanks for the inspiration for my build!

  I’m a similar height to yourself (179cm). I can only justify this bike by seeing myself having hours of fun on it. I’ve been scoping this thread to determine how short to cut the steerer tube.

  All I’m short is the frame itself. Hopefully the pistachio frame drops end of this month.

  I have this so far minus the hydraulic Deore brakes and 160 rotors in the picture…
