What brand of bb is that? What crankset and what size chainring?

Thanks! It's a sram bb, sram force crankset and 42 size chainring, I also tried a 46 and a 50. The 46 was ok not very much room but I would've used it like that. The 50 fit but the only thing that fit in between the chainring and the chainstay was a piece of paper  ;D

This is the clearance with 2.25 thunder burts measuring 57 mm on my 32 mm internal width wheels. They are new so I think they will grow a little bit more.

On the front plenty of clearance and in the back 5 mm on the left and 6 mm on the right side.

Looks good, really looking forward to get my frame. Did you do anything on the face of BB or brake face?

The bb looked good enough for me, I did face the brake mounts.

btw, anyone mounted fenders/mudguards on the bike? I would prefer not using any straps, want it using bolts.

In the back you can mount fenders, in the front not really I think because you only have 1 mounting point in the fork above the tire. I have a Meinier so maybe it's different with the spcycle.

I think it's finished... for now. Maybe I will test it tomorrow.

Nice build, enjoy your rides!

Have they made a change in design in the seat tube area already?
Look at the comparison between yours and mine.
Also, the clamping on yours is different from mine. Yours clamps with the two bolt on the back of the seatpost, mine has an inserted clamp.
