Thanks to those Classifieders who sold me some of the component parts - you know who you are ๐Ÿ™‚

like it ๐Ÿ™‚
what makes the bar whacky?

looks like a boring flat bar from here.

or is it a midge, with a slight sweep?

That's is horrible... ๐Ÿ˜‰

Really like that. Just building up a 26 ss after discounting a 29er based on previous experience.

Nice ๐Ÿ˜‰

Just building up a 26 ss after discounting a 29er based on previous experience.

What previous experience, I'm thinking of getting rid of my 69er ss in favour of a full blown 29er...

Looks pretty tidy - good work. I'm sure it'll be pretty zippy for fast flowing trails and climbing.

Your frame size doesn't look too bad with 29" wheels - everything seems to be in proportion. I did see a teeny tiny Specialized Stumpjumper 29er yesterday, and it looked decidely odd.

Don't think the niche boys will like it. Frame is too off the peg..

What gearing are you running on that? I'm loving riding my Singular Swift as a rigid 29er SS but had to go lower gear than I had thought (either that or I'm just not very fit any more!)
