"Better Late Than Never" 057-er

(1/1)

chetg:
Very happy with Peter's 057 with just a few rides under the belt. Thank you all for the archived information here -- went with the older 057 frame to work with something tried and true for my first build.


* Frame: 057 XL
* Wheel/hub: Stans Arch Mk3 (26mm internal); DT Swiss 350
* Tires: Ardent 2.25
* Fork: RS SID XX 100mm
* Shifter/Mech: XT
* Bar: Thomson trail carbon
* Stem: RaceFace 60mm
* Brakes: SLX
* Rotors: XT 180/160
* Cranks: 180mm XT
* Chainring: OneUp Oval 32T
* Cassette: Sunrace 11-46
* Chain: SRAM PC-X1
* Seatpost/saddle: Ritchey carbon and Synchros seat from old bike
For reference this setup came out to 23.5 lbs. After this set of Ardents I will look for something a little lighter. Also, the cassette is an anchor, however I love the range so far and it is a great price.  All suggestions welcome! :)

Carbon_Dude:
Nice color!

Sitar_Ned:
Very nice build. Looks like Yeti turquoise.

And I think the 057 is a very smart choice.. been beating on mine for a few years now.. very proven frame, as you know.

adbl:
Nice build! As others have said i've been beating mine up for about a year now and no issues. As a matter of fact i had 3 wrecks on it this weekend (WTF!!!) with no marks or cracks  ;D
