Good work. Nice looking frame.

Slow progress waiting for parts. All that's left is the brakes that are on order. Just got back from a DIY media blasting place. I used glass bead media to blast the Kooka Cranks after stripping the anodizing (thought it was powder coat... WRONG) and they came out beautiful. The finish looked so similar to the Paul Love levers that I decided not to polish and just rubbed them with some Mothers Aluminum polish to get some protection on them.

Mating the cranks to some NOS Blackspire Super Pro rings, and box fresh Sim Works Tiny Bubbly pedals that I had from another build

Amazing how those cranks have come out!

Nice build and a lovely bike. Wish mine was in such good shape.

The 3x10 drivetrain shifts nice an smooth with the 10spd Deore M610 rear, XT M780 3x10 specific front derailleur. MicroShift thumbie's finish off the controls

Loving the attention to the detail on this build.

Very nice indeed

incredible build. I thought all Kooka's were CNC'd so thats something new I learned. They've come up really well with the blasting.

@90's Ninja you know you've done a good thing, when your Cinder Cone build can stand tall in a lineup like that. Looks fantastic, 100% would love to ride that
