I bought this old Bontrager frame to build up into a 650B canti ... than I realized that was sorta silly and just bought a 29er.
The wife was on my case about my multiplying bikes in the basement issue so I thought I would build this as a "See ... they do have a use" statement. Totally $$$ pit, took forever, and so much custom work but it turned out pretty nice.
What is it? Its a 26er 93 Bonti frame. Its running 650B wheels, with CX brakes, and a 1x7 Ultegra/105/Deore DX drive train. Whole bike is brand new less the frame, rear derailleur, and DX shifter.
