My new home project :D

Because lots of parts that laying aroound I decided too compile them into one useful bike.

And make a FST 29,folding soft tail 29 er..

The frame is made from Columbus Life cr-mo tubing,except seat tube and seat stay,which are produced from carbon,and seat stays are removable ,so the frame can fold.

When fold bike is in size a 29 inch wheels, and can be placed in a bag,which will be finish in a few days,together with seatpost-seat combo.

And it will be ready for travel :)

This is excellent. The Yeti-style curves at the rear dropout is a nice touch, with nice integration of the removeable seatstays.
A design like this has a lot of potential. Tuneable stays based on rider preference, etc. Nice one, Freeriderxy.

That is really rather awesome! You have been making some really interesting stuff lately :) I've been desperate to find an affordable "travel" MTB and the best I have found is to try and find a second hand IBIS Tranny...

Weight is depending of tire around 10 kilo,but it will be a little bit lighter when make upgrade wit carbon cranks and carbon steerer/stem combo..
