Thanks!

You're right about the paint, it's lame. I had big plans for the paint but went for the simple powder coat finish just for the durability.

Thanks!
I have build a few other frames, but so far this one is my favorite.
Next, a new fatbike.

I don't like the paint too, but it's functional and not for the looks. Paint has survived the fist size rocks banging on the downtube, but the cranks are pretty beaten-up.

It needs fenders to be more functional in it's current mode, but there are not many fenders which could be used with 650B Ice Spikers.
I build it to be year-round bike.

Looks great! Any more photos?

Thanks!
More can be seen here or here

Very nice, what's the frame?

I build the frame, fork and front rack.

Mine, functional enough for me. It also takes 650B Schwalbe ice spikers for winter use without the fenders.

My friends huge Ridley Oval

I have these waiting to be build and set of low flange 28h hubs already in use.

28h low flange front hub 126g and 28h low/high flange ISO6 rear hub 199g.

Thanks!

Thanks!

I see it now, that is a little bit miss leading sign ;)

No, I did not run into any fatty-specific problems despite that it is very different compared to production fatbikes. This is also my second fatbike frame.
70 degree head angle with longish headtube to avoid using big spacer stack, currectly one 5mm spacer under the stem and one 10mm spacer on top of the stem.
73 degree effective seattube angle with 35mm offset seattube, I have don't have tube bender for the seattubes and I actually like the look of the offset seattube.
415-435 mm chainstay length and 68mm BB drop.
28t chainring is only limitation of the short chainstays, but that's ok for my needs.
A much easier to climb than you would think.

You can see some of the build pics on my instagram

Thanks! I'm living in eastern Finland.

That's actually my bike, just finished the build last saturday.

Pics from the first ride.

I decided to update the drivetrain with Dura Ace crankset.

Sorry no better pics, a few more pics can be seen here. If I remember correctly it was under 9kg with racing ralphs. I used quite heavy tubing so frame is ~2.2kg.

Thanks, I build the frame.

Here's mine

It's somewhere around here, http://goo.gl/uvM9WE

Mine from yesterdays ride.

The line does not match the Dorico seatpost as it's LTD version and I'm thinking of removing the white line from the stem.
Main triangle and chainstays are welded and the rest is brazed.

It's finished, at least for now.

ÜOS Columbus spirit for lugs and Max fork. Painted frame weighs 1675g and the fork weighs 714g.

I built the frame.

The frame is back from the paint shop.

Where did you get that tension meter?
