BXT 24" build

Finally have most of the parts in for my daughters 24" build.  I am using the BXT hardtail 24 model. I requested it to be a raw unpainted frame and they were able to accommodate that. Very happy as it came stripped and sanded ready to paint.  Wheels are built, went with Stans Crest 24" as they were the lightest option I could find. Paired to novatec 411/412 hub set and Pilar 1420 spoke, the wheels came in at sub 1200g. Very happy with that.  For the fork I went with a 26" Reba.  Found a new old stock one at a good price. Weight was 1700g with an uncut steerer.  Only it has no damper adjustment. We will see how that works out. I went with the usual elita seat post, toseek bars and uno stem.  Shimano deore drivetrain and brakes will finish it off. Based on my maths I am looking at a bit over 19lbs.

Ludo:
Nice, looking forward to finish product as I will be doing the same for my son in a few months.

jefflinde:
Finally built.  super happy with the outcome.  waiting for a few things to finalize it like her actual stem and grips.  just borrowing from other bikes for the moment.  total build as pictured with chunky pedals is 19.2 lbs.

Ludo:
That’s a nice light weight bike, 4lbs less than my son’s 20s I am sure it makes for a more enjoyable and contrôlable ride.
I’ll put the built together during 11/11 sales.

Jeff,

Full build picture didn't seem to work, can you try again?

What did you go with for the drivetrain/crank?
