Airwolf / YFM026 boost / santa cruz highball
Hey, long time lurker, first time poster. I decided to buy a Airwolf SC highball of off aliexpress ($350). I had a lot of parts laying around, like wheels and a drive train, some odds and ends. Wanted to share some photos of the frame as I build it up. Frame weighs 1080 naked, 1144 with axle and seatpost clamp. Finish was overall good except the chip in the head tube, rear axle is funky. The routing was backwards but easy to remedy. I'm shooting for an 8.7kg build with components I have laying around. Ill post more photos and riding experience once its built. https://imgur.com/gallery/SzLf1uu December 10, 2020, 04:45:50 PM |

Finished building it up, came out to 19lbs 13oz with pedals and bottle cage. Now it’s time to ride it.

Yea I had great contact with the seller from AliExpress, really easy to text exchange. Got a ride in today and it was great. My only other previous hardtail is a niner one 9 rdo. I love having a slacker head tube angle and the frame isn’t as stiff.

Yes there is an inlet on the head tube, there are 2 on each side. I actually ran a full piece of cable housing to the rear derailleur and snuck it over the bb.

Just throwing up another photo. Put about 40 miles so far in it. I like it, rides like a bike.
