That is very nice 
Just an idea, before you fit your chainset,I've got 4 zipties on the driveside chainstay just back from the BB. Then when your chain comes off the Granny ring it drops onto the zippies and doesn't mangle your chainstay/paint.

Good tip there Graeme but I only use a single ring so fingers crossed the eThirteen will take care of the chain. I'm gonna have to just look at it this evening I'm afraid . . . waiting on a seatpost, headset and seatclamp . . . fingers crossed for tomorrow eh? My first day back at work tomorrow too after 6 weeks off . . talk about bad timing
Going to be slacker than a slack thing with lyrics....And funner than a fun thing too
That's the plan

How glad i am to have come across this forum - I signed up just to reply. I got a bit of bargain on some lyriks but they're too big for my Kona frame. I'm not about to give up the forks so thinking about upgrading with a new frame that can take the travel, choosing between the BFe and 456 SS (although shame the lime green isn't in stock).
The price difference is obvious, and the 456 looks so good - will be great to see her built and hear how she rides.
Watching with envy.....

). I shall set the alarm early . . . tooo much beer to start tonight . . . anniversary see

Come on, 24 minutes have passed! I have an original 456SS and its excellent. Going to get some bigger forks for it in the next few weeks. Been singing the praises of running 105mm on it for too long - I want some proper madness happening at the front now!
New graphics and paintjob look awesome too.

It looks super slack at 130mm
Posted 8 months ago # -
They're as slack at 105mm as my Blur 4X is at 160mmm!
Posted 8 months ago # -
Jeebus, that is going to be slack!
Look forward to final build pics, colour and graphics look awesome on the SS....Pity On-One failed with the new Inbred colour combos.Posted 8 months ago # -
Nearly there . . .

Cheers Elf! 32 years eh . . . good job he's not a bike frame . . . patience of a saint that man

Ah burger . . . ISCG mount is old and not 05
. Never mind, Uzzi can keep the eThirteen . . . time to test the Superstar/DMR/Blackspire/mamadirt hybrid chain tensioner

Looking good... My housemate has a bright orange one, it's so much fun (with Pikes) it's not even funny.
Daveyboywonder - has your 4X sold yet?

**** me that cake is something else
It's the ickle frames that looks the best, everytime, but please mamaD stop, you're making me think that swapping my straight up diddy 456 for the SS version is something I should be doing.... arghh....
Posted 8 months ago # -
Mmmmmmmmmm, I like
. Feels pretty damn good with the forks at 120mm on the 'down the street' test. Just have to fettle the chain guide now then the woods are calling . . . I may be some considerable time . . . 
Oh, cake was made by my son and his girlfriend for her sister's birthday btw. I think the food colouring they used came with a warning printed on the bottle
. Lovely though Posted 8 months ago # -
Good job, looks stunning...although cant help thinking it looks all 29er with that tiny frame
Posted 8 months ago # -
Dammit I want to ride my (slightly less tiny) bike!
Posted 8 months ago # -
Looking lovely 'mama'
Take it, it's a play bike you wanted then...interested in that chain device mashup you've created, what parts have you used?
Enjoy
Posted 8 months ago # -
Wooooo! Love it!! Very, very nice ride indeed . . . super comfy (bear in mind I'm more used to 7", er, out back) and feels pretty much spot on at 120 on the road/climbing and 140ish offroad.
160mm really is super-slack but it passed the 'dropping off the concrete slabs under the motor way bridge' test with flying colours
The chain guide is made from an old DMR Chain Reactor hinged clamp, spacer from the centre of a Blackspire roller, Superstar XCR spare top guide and sunken head allen bolt from mama's bolt collection. It could do with being offset a little towards the front of the bike like the Superstar seat-tube mounted guide, but does the job just fine . . . and more importantly, quietly.
