Are you a trials rider? Your brake leavers are almost vertical!

Nice bike.

Wow! Brake lever angle, I didn't expect that as a first comment. My money was on the garage door needing painting 🙂

As I stated in the first post this was just after I'd put it together.

Cable routing now changed after looking at some factory put together bikes, bar and controls moved and saddle height now comfortable for me.

Been on two short rides so far plenty more to come and very happy with it regardless of what others may say/think 🙂

Serious Bronson's fellas!

Thinking of a 650B Heckler or possibly an Alu Bronosn - what size forks are you running? 150 or 160?

What your opinions on the Pikes - I will be speccing mine with Solo Air pikes just can't decide 150 or 160

cheers

That's done nothing to diminish my thoughts on buying a solo...

SBrock - I'm running 150mm solo air pikes on my bronson and they're very plush, extremely stiff compared to any single crown fork I've ridden before. No down sides yet. As an added bonus they're also pretty light too.

Nice build buddy!
Only one issue -
why high roller up front and ardent on rear, would have thought better other way round IMO?

Thanks, I think 150 will be the sweet spot TBH so gonna order a set of 150mm Pike Solo Airs

OP. What is it? The stickers are not very clear. Maybe get some brighter ones. Nice bike mind

Antares also that a alloy one or carbon? Looks really nice in the flesh if it's the alloy version

Just above rear mech in last photo ,fractured house brick I'd phone a structural engineer immediately could result in death or serious injury!

Even worse the bike is at risk of falling house.
