While you are waiting, you should start playing with stem and handlebar ideas.

This bike screams Sram Red BLACK.

Today, when I came home, I saw that I get the levers and of course I immediately started with the building..

I made just some small cosmetic changes on the levers and the rear derailleur and it's ready to ride!! Already rode with it a few hundret meters here in my street and I just can't wait for tomorrow, when I'll make the first training ride with it.


The weight is 5923 g

Of course with pedals, bottle cages, with 10 bars in the tyres etc.,..just like on those photos. I just made them, hopefully they are OK, will post some new photos with some help from a friend of mine later



Berk PROTO-TYPE 3 frame with integrated seatpost/saddle combo and internal routing: 1013g



















I'll write more about the bike as soon as I make some more kilometers. I'll also make the build list as soon as possible

If this would be my only bike I would sure change a few components, but all those parts are for my "test frames" and I rather save some $$ for some new projects . I also have to thak a few forum members for some of those parts

[Ghastly]

if you need someone to test your next frame, i'm available!! Nice work!
