Tough lesson in patience:

 

Take the better part of 6 months to search for & find parts for a build that has peaked your interest for way longer. Manipulate a budget accordingly and as best as you can. Complete the build. Wait another whole month (family life) to swing a leg over & eventually go for the maiden voyage. Ten minutes into the ride you realize that you forgot to cover the chainstay to protect the new raw steel frame from chain slap. You carry on, cautiously choosing smoother sections of trail to avoid chain slap/frame damage. Curiosity pushes you to attempt one tiny jump before calling it a day. Land the jump. Saddle pops off cleanly. You eat dirt, lose a seat post bolt & take a slow walk back to the car. Bike in one hand, saddle in the other..

The fact that proctologist is not mentioned anywhere in that anecdote, means you got off lightly ..   Landing a jump with an exposed chair-pole is enough to make any man wince ..

I trust this in an example of what you are not fitting...

 

Edit: I see it is fitted...

[Ryanpmb]

65.7 degree head angle..

At the full 150mm. At 140mm, slightly steeper.

thought the retro bottle cage would add some character but yes I agree, it's got to go asap, along with that gnarly dropper. Can't wait to change it. An actuator cable that exits a dropper post at ninety degrees defies logic..

Amen. I really can't fault the tmars function wise. But as much as I love it that cable sticking out is down right stupid. At least on a hardtail you won't damage yours like i did mine.

[TAAHIRWP]

anytime Meezo. Size small too..

When you realise you need a medium... bring the frame around to me okay..

[Hairy]

voetsek ... these on-ones are lekker bikes

my collection as years gone past and bikes passed on

so with only one MTB in the garage at the moment, it feels a little "odd" ..... might need to slowly start a new build. I already have the grips and a stem in the spares box, so the build is nearly there then

 

now just to find

frame

fork

wheels

everything else
