Frame painstakingly built by the legendary Dave Mercer, paint by Jared_BMC, lots of help from Ryan at Bikes Etc (old Mikes Bikes) to source and fit parts. More than 1 year in the making :) 

 

See you on the spruit!

What ratios are you running?

 

36 / 16. The crank is a very old 120bcd, so 36 is the minimum it can fit - but perfect ratio for the mostly flat spruit!

Looks great! 

 

Did you get a matching steel fork? 

 

The fork is an old Lauf Trail Racer that I got re-sprayed to match the frame - was previously a matt black / carbon colour.

Yeah dig the Lauf! 

 

Just wondering if you got a steel one with it!

I run 34/18 on my so that does spruit duty - 36/16 will be tough up the Delta park climbs but manageable if you are strong.

 

Looks good.
