I ordered the frameset back in February , sourced all the parts from friends on the industry excpet wheels I had to get from R2 cycles as no one carries this in the US. weight came in at 17.3 lbs bike is so smooth even w the stiff wheels.

Love it! Not a subtle bike for cheeky trails is it? You will be easy to pick out of a lineup There is a lot to be said for rigid bikes and I think the capability would surprise a lot of people when they give them a chance. It is also really refreshing not to be chasing equipment upgrades/ chasing magic suspension settings when you realise it is actually the rider that needs to put some more work in

Exactly what it was built for , to replace my Exploro , the beauty of this is that it also came w a 100mm fork that i can swap whihc is quite easy almost like changing a flat tire. It is quite stiff and the stands on it w flat bars sometimes you forget its a rigid so I have to really keep that in mind when picking lines.

Exactly lol quite flashy even for myself and i usually have flashy bikes !! its gonna be my gravel /training bike, a rigid or gravel bike really teaches you how to read terrain and pick lines etc !! when i jump on my FS i can just send it !! Today im gonna do my forst race on it lets see how i do w no squish , course is not tequnical so it shold be fun !!DanW wrote: ↑Tue Aug 10, 2021 10:52 amLove it!

Really cool build!
Have you measured the frame and the Spirit fork separately?
I'm a big fan of rigid MTBs, for next year I'm planning to build a similar setup.
