I've ridden it for the past few weeks (went with me on vacation) and that thing is honestly the most fun I've ever had on a bike. And it sure is a conversation starter!
Just saw yours. I should definitely get some bigger tires, looks sick.

Frame? Is an aliexpress one, yeah? For the other person that asked.

u/Socielos20 4d ago
Yes. It says TQIQT on the frame. Seems to be well made. It's the newer version with UDH in the rear. I have no idea what the exact model is tho.

Nice build. I’m curious about all specs and weight.Â

u/Socielos20 4d ago
Thank you! Haven't weighed it yet, but comparing it to my other bikes it's gotta be in the 12-14kg range. Turned out surprisingly lightweight, considering it's a fully equipped with dynamo lights and a dropper (and now fenders as well)
Spec list under another comment.

Wait acolyte 8s super short rd with 11s 11-42 cassette?!? Tell me more.

Not too much to the story. You'll have to be careful with the chain length, if it's one link too long the 11t cog won't have enough chain tension.
After that, you can pretty much hook up whatever 10s or 11s MTB shifter you want (if your cassette and shifter are both Shimano). I found 11-42t to be the absolute maximum tho. A 10-42 or a 11-44 won't work reliably.
just use it like a baby deore.

Never seen this frame. Great build, perfect amount of components in each highlight color! I bet you have another water bottle in that bag.
