Grease_Monkey Posted June 22, 2018 Posted June 22, 2018 (edited) Felt like she deserved another post since she is now in her final form.... - Fork at 110mm travel to steepen head and seat tube angle for better climbing- 20mm riser cSixx bar to give me the same stack height as when the fork was at 130mm. Bar also a bit wider - 760mm, 720mm was just too narrow.- Colour coded decals for the fork and bar from cSixx. - Maxxis Ardent Race 29x2.35 and Ardent 29x2.4 tyres for added volume and comfort seeing as it is a hardtail.- Chaintamer, just to quiten the bike a bit.- Speedsleeve Ranger - a dropper post friendly saddle bag that holds tube, 2 Co2 cannisters, inflator, and 2 tyre levers. It doesn't move around at all and looks half decent for a saddle bag. Key thing on this bike is that I don't have to wear a hydration pack.- The only thing I'd wanna change is the stanchions, would like them black, but at the price it's not gonna happen...

SpruitCommuter Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 My Escapade in it's latest guise - feels kinda weird having gears after running it as a single speed for a few years. Though I'm very pleased with the bar end shifter - very easy and precise shifting - I can shift through the whole cassette super quickly. danthunders, Hairy, DirtyDan and 7 others 10

All attachments for V or disc calipers and panniers in place. Asking for a friend kinda thing Anything from around twelve, depending on the build etc. If it's just the frame and fork with panniers and discs, 12k. The frames new with carbon fork were around that. Slowbee 1
