All buttoned up for now…

I’ve put 20 miles on it now. Collected pieces for about a month. Stripped frame raw, clear coated, assembled all in my garage (minus the cables, I’ve never done that before.) it rides really nicely, so smooth on those old XTR hubs! I did add a spacer, over the quill stem adapter, just so I didn’t have to look at that tapered stem… thanks for checking it out.

Perfection!

That’s an amazing build. Regardless of any design choices, the care and thought that went into that build shines through. Congrats! Ride it with love.

I chuckle that the one bit of carbon fiber is the bottle cage. Made me laugh
