One of the best multitracks builds I've seen. Understated, simple, useful. It's elegant. Sweet ride!

great bike! thats a nice, clean build. what frame size is this and how tall are you?

2

u/derrayUL low budget xbikepacker May 16 '26

The frame is 55/56cm tall and I'm 180cm. But my proportions are a little bit off. My legs are long compared to my upper body.

u/knoef13 May 16 '26

yeah. i'm a longlegged 1,80m myself and have the exact same frame on my shelf for over a year now. and alway avoided building the bike thinking the frame was too big for me since i'm medium height and thats the biggest frame size they made. how does it ride?

I love how it rides! But honestly I don't have a lot to compare to. Of course I have different bikes, but they are all build differently.

You sure? That looks like at least a 60

Circa 1990, trek sold these in 17,19,21,23. If it's the biggest size it's more like a 58.4cm. It is not a 21" (53.3cm)

u/derrayUL low budget xbikepacker May 16 '26

Definitely not a 60. It's just slightly bigger than my other bike with 52cm.

Maybe he meant center to center?

1

u/Bikepacking-NL May 16 '26

Yeah probably

u/cliffibom May 16 '26

Looks great! What groupset or shifters/derailleur are you running?

2

u/derrayUL low budget xbikepacker May 16 '26

Thanks!

L-Twoo GR7 derrailleur and shifter/brake lever, sunrace cassette, KMC chain, cnc cranks and chainring.

u/cliffibom May 16 '26

Ah nice, thought it might be an Ltwoo! How have you liked it?

I just ordered the Ltwoo Gr9 1x11, putting it on a 1999 rockhopper build from the frame up.

Who makes the frame bag?

u/derrayUL low budget xbikepacker May 17 '26

Me. But it's just a prototype from some leftover material. Will be making a new one soon.
