CAAD4 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Thanks man, it was awesome and loads of fun! The newer Tallboy frames comes with 142x12mm ThruAxle on the rear, which wasn't part of our initial planning. Luckily the awesome Chris King ISO precision engineered hub can accommodate 9mm QR or 12mm or 15mm ThruAxle. I can fall asleep listening to the sound of that rear hub, they are beyond sick! Yep they scream like an angry bee.. I went for two sets of Hopes instead, but my CK headset and BB have been flawless for a few years now..????

Santa Boy Posted August 9, 2012 Share This will make somebody very happy. I have an identical build but also added red cables and had the lowers painted the same red as on the frame lettering. Used arch ex rims. Just finished Tour de Tuli with it - AWESOME! Welcome to the Tallboy club I saw your bike at TdT. Mine was the blue Tallboy. Basically same set up as above, except XT brakes and then SRAM Gripshits and components. I am still trying to get the dust out of the bike and more so out of myself. Was awesome though!

Tankman Posted August 9, 2012 Share Who built it? Please tell them they must take a lesson on cable routing... that's a really !@#$%^& job, shifter cables/brake hose should loop around the headtube. I forgot to tell the mechanics which side what brake must but remembered to get it done before the client came to collect, thus it had to be swapped, my fault then. We will correct it ... send me your email address so I can personally send you a photo when completed, hopefully then you will be able to sleep straight through the night again.

I saw your blue one (PRETTY!) and also the yellow one. Didn't see a LTc though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
