Is Steel Real?

[popcorn_skollie]

Yes, steel is real. 

 

Can't wait to see the build, Uni! 

 

What happened to the brooks saddle?

[Eddy Gordo]

Same, all they had left in my size... Blue would have been cool though

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

Carbon for racing - steel for passion.

 

Steel is floppy and heavy and wonderful :-)

How can something be both floppy and good for passion?

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?

If its just for fun do it.

 

But if you want to cover miles on the bike then its going to irratate the hell out of you

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.....
