[Closed] New (to me) build - FF29

In the pursuit of having something racier and deviating from the usual steel framed build I picked up a used FF29 frame around Christmas.

I say used not that you would have ever said that was the case based on its condition ๐Ÿ˜€

Its evolved a bit since its original build ..... 120mm SIDS rather than 100mm X Fusion Slides, ditched the Schwalbe tyres in favour of some bargain OO Vittoria offerings.

1x11 XT set up with a few lightish bits. Currently about 25lbs.

Considering its material its actually quite a comfy frame. Its not really an XC bike though as I can hear it whispering [i]"fit a wider bar and fatter rubber"[/i] which I am trying not to listen to!

I could do with it being a longer frame.

This will be my main MM bike this year.

Flame away ๐Ÿ˜†

I'm taking it you mean mile muncher by MM?

Mine wears 2.4 tyres and a 750mm flat bar if that helps justify any purchases ๐Ÿ˜‰

Nice. Do your tyres say "peyote" though?

That'll teach me to think in terms used on my riding buddies whatsapp group!

For what it is worth, I was out on my mile muncher when I typed my reply actually. Very nice ride it was too - except for 7 miles into a headwind ๐Ÿ˜ฏ
