As written at the beginning, performance is completely neglected hereA man who never made a mistake has made nothing. Put it down to experience and move on
I hope it won't break...

Still it will be interesting to read a ride report…
I am sure it has its won special characteristics the moment you through some dirt on it.
Would be fun to know how it compares to some other of your bikes? What about that badass you have hanging in your wall?
sorry don’t mean to deflect you from the grove you got going with this build but that one looks a heck of a bike!
All this to say it’s coming along real nice so far! Keep it going!

M10x1, same as some spark plugs, any good motor factors should have a tap for it.
fun enough,I like these forks. So much so that i bought a pair. Theyve been faultless. You can extend them to 140mm soooo easily.

I was wondering if anyone else was looking at that...What about that badass you have hanging in your wall?

That's nice to know, they have 100mm of travel atm. And it seems you can use a remote lock out.
I think I have an old RS one somewhere...
Thanks a lot mate! I will keep you updated as soon as I took it for a spin.
That will get it's own story soon. It is not really finished yet.What about that badass you have hanging in your wall?

From memory (haven't changed mine in 4 years) you undo the top nut on the right leg (disc side), release the foot nut, slip-up the push rod and move a pin from one hole to a other.
Lockout works too.
Today was finally the day, I brought the taps and time with me to the workshop.
Careful now...
I think it all worked. The rear deraillieur could be fitted.
I think I now also know why 1x12 was cheaper than 1x11.... adjusting the whole thing is quite a challenge (at least more than I thought) and it still doesn't work satisfactorily.
But anyway, here is the result of about 70 hours of work.
It can certainly be done quicker if you know what you're doing.
I'm really happy with it!
I only rode a short lap today and I have to say it already feels different than all my other bikes.
It's most comparable to my Univega. But while the Univega feels nervously soft, the Bambusbike feels comfortably soft, if that makes any sense to you
When I first got on it also made some cracking noises and I thought it was broken....until I realised that it was the old saddle...
More test rides to follow...
