Bike ended up having 2 set ups that I switch between depending on what i'm using it for.

Just rust effect paint, saw it advertised somewhere as an "anti theft measure".

Looks great, are you going to go with silver rims? What size of tyre?

Looks great! Would really like one of these.

I live a ritchey! This looks like it is going to turn out awesome. I am sure my eyes are playing tricks on me but are your tyres on back to front?

Wrap stay in inner tube and then cover the tube in insulation tape that is the colour of the frame or as close as you can get.

I will, thanks for the suggestions.

Thanks edscoble, gp4000 would be my usual choice but got these for less than half price.

Swapping tyres counts as a project I’m sure. C.X bike was great today, I fancy a proper road bike as I only have this and my X.C bike. I am comfortable on the boardman so should I just replicate the stack and reach when looking at road bikes or will the boardman being a cross bike make that a bad idea?. I have no real idea with bike fit.

New parts for the Ritchey:
Longer stem
xt groupset
xt brakes
gumwall ardents
Finding a decent 1 1/8 fork proved to be a pain but i now have a 2018 reba on order and a suntour axon rl rc in the post. Once the rebas arrive they will go on this and suntour rl rc will go onto a build for the wife.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Beautiful looking build! From what I have read the Weigle was let down by the fact that they didn't have an adequate written presentation and that the public vote was taken amongst a crowd of sportive riders. I would love to have the cash to have something like this built, are there any off the peg frames that have low trail geometry which could be built in this style?

Yes

Must be very frustrating. I would have returned it due to the head tube, I'm sure everything functions o.k but not the quality you would expect.

New wheels and tyres on the way to finish it for now, will have gears and suspension at some point.

I have seen a couple of pics with them built up as 650 +, looks like a lot of fun. Brakes are now sorted as a friend has given me a set of guides, he went hope on a new bike and donated the stock guides. hopefully i will have the fork soon so i can get it a mock up build together and some pics.

Had no luck trying to find anybody who would mix to the dupont paint code. However the bike above is making me think white for the fork. the pics of the frame with black forks just dont do it for me. E.T.A on the forks in now sometime after the 15th.

Got some ultra cheapo (free) wheels that will do for now so all i need to decide on is brakes.

/\ /\ Haha, yeah! it came up at trade so i bought it, then other projects got in the way. Trying my hand at some endurance mtb racing next year so time to build it up. Going to put he salsa forks on and see what they look like in black when they arrive. pics will follow.

Yeah, that build looks nice with the black fork for sure. I think a suspension fork would not bother me if it was black but skinny steel forks are begging to be painted! :), however if it is a nightmare to get paint mixed to that code i'll just leave them as is.

Hay all,

I bought one of these frames about 18 months ago and due to many other projects and not really riding any xc stuff it has sat in a box since then.

This one:

Planning on building it up rigid for the first while any way, pos a lefty in the future if funds allow so i have bought this salsa fork:

First issue is getting the fork painted to match the frame. It took two seconds to find the paint code Ritchey use (Dupont 29198 red), but i am having no luck finding somewhere to mix the paint as it is a Dupont code. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It will be built up with 10 speed x.t but not sure on brakes and what hub/ rim combo for the wheel build.
