Yeah this will be a lovely build mate. Those seatposts are very nice, dropper or not, doesn't matter. It's your bike.
I feel the need to buy a niche frame and hang a personal selection of bike jewellery off it.
Probably shouldn't, but probably will.

Do it

Headset installed, steerer cut, bb fitted, seatpost, saddle and seat clamp on…. it’s slowly taking shape now.

Setting the derailleur up is challenging, thankfully Google and YouTube came to the rescue for B tension screw adjustment!

Cranks, chain and rear derailleur on and set-up

Looking sweet so far!

Once again everything comes to a halt with the build…

Yet another ‘special tool’ required for tightening the BB

Thought I had grips… but I don’t, forgot they were fitted to the fatty when I sold it

Thought I had a front brake adapter… but I don’t, the one I have is for 160-203 and I need a 180-203

Took the bleed screw out the lever, laid it down (this is in the living room so should have been safe…) and can I find it again…. NO!!

So… grips, adapter, bleed screws and a Park BBT-47-12 tool have now been ordered!

Grips arrived, some Ergon GE1 Evo Factory in ‘Stealth’



There was another trinket delivered today too…

When I ordered the seat collar I was in two minds if to go for the plain ti or the ‘other’ option. But after seeing how the bike was looking with the cassette and chain, I thought maybe I should have chosen differently…

So, here’s the turquoise/purple fade version of the same clamp, and it is a lovely, lovely thing!

Love it!

Interesting frame, looks really nice. You're always so bold with components, I'd have gone black, run of the mill and called it a day.

Anyway, a joy to follow. Excited to see it complete.
