All done.



We rode it yesterday and she loved it!  going to get a total weight soon, maybe post a video.

I think it looks pretty cool.

Just received everything a couple days ago.

Broke the frame down to grease the bushings and to make sure that the bushings were long enough to reach both sides of supports on the stays. Everything looked fine with the bushings, but they did get some paint on the ball bearing covers where the main frame pivot is, tried to remove and greased up.

Had some issues setting the bead on the wheels for tubeless setup, so i just put the tubes in to set the bead for now, then i can go back to tubeless later.





Frame Weight 2250 grams (with Paint)


ready to build


little bit of progress last night.

I laid out the options, and she chose XT.

Anyway, exciting news, they just shipped the frame. Took a little while to paint, but hopefully it will ship fast and it will still make it here before our trip next weekend.



Components came in too, from Bike24.

Thanks Karstenhorn, I'll definitely check that when it arrives. Let me know if you've found a good fix for the short bushing bolt. With forks I've got the fox float 32 on my bike and know how that feels, but never ridden the manitou or a rochshox maybe i'll have to check out their prices.

Thanks carbonara that looks pretty good on bike24.com, I'll just need to make sure I don't pay too much to get it to the US.

Currently working with Paul from XMIplay. ordered the 17.5" BSA IP-036 frame last night, so fingers crossed, it will be here in two weeks before our mountain bike trip to new mexico. I'm shopping around still for the cheapest XT 1x11 groupset, and suggestions would be helpful. didn't want to go carbon wheels due to some issues that I've read about with them, also found some tubeless aluminum ones on ebay for the same price around the same weight ~1650 grams for the set. Paid extra for the frame paint, hopefully it'll look good. Any fork suggestions, aside from the Fox 32 float 29 100mm travel? best shock for this frame?? Will post a picture as soon as it arrives. if all goes well, i'll probably build myself one too.
