Funseeker, Hottail........?

 

So what funky stuff are you gonna be doing to the frame?

I wanted the hot tail, had it in my basket and in my size. Waited too long to pay and it vanished. SO I had to settle for the funseeker. I got the 650b/26er version. 

My build is still long from being completed. Waiting for hubs, chain ring, rotors to arrive.

Then I still need a seatpost.

I am considering a suspension seatpost. Any thoughts on this guys?

Sounds lekke. I opted for the 29er, got most parts ready for the build just need odds and ends, seatclamp, bar etc. Wanna expriment down the line with 27,5+ hence going for the 29er

 

Will probably also somewhere along the line look at doing a custom paintjob on it too

Even for a confirmed roadie, that has created a Friday morning.....stirring! A thing of beauty!!

 

Can steel be finished with just a clear coat? Maybe not enough corrosion resistance perhaps, but would be nice IMO, to just stare at that, particularly the brazing.....
