My first time at this, so here goes. Completed at the weekend, took it for a spin yesterday:

And about to roll on the very trail that formed seed of an idea, that ended up with me building this bike (Climachx, Machynlleth):

As expected - it really does ride very well on the Climachxx - especially the last bit 😉 Light, fast, yet burly. A carbon fibre flying carpet. I like it 8)
pssst....we can see the forks
What's with the space elevator coming out of the stem?
That can't be a "Trail" bike because you apparently need 140mm up front and at least 127mm at the back to qualify as "short travel"
(Nice though...)
Ummm.. yes I was a little concerned about cutting the steerer too short, so thought I'd leave masses extra, just incase I re-decided about stem position after the first ride. It looks very much like I'll be running the stem 'slammed' anyways, so will cut a bit closer this time!
take the tape measure and scissors away from whoever fitted the carpet.
nice - what year trance is that?
I think it's a 2007-8? Maybe.. 115mm travel rear-end.
nice, that looks very "efficient" the HA is the only thing that puts me off a bike like that.
I used to have the alu version of that with 120mm bolt through fork, it was great fun.
Your looks good but you really need a black stem and forks before you take it out in public again.
My old bike (and yes I did slam the stem shortly after this picture was taken)...
