Never felt the need for another 1.5 inches or even 3! neither one of those dropper thingies. Might change the gearing though as my trusty old XTR rear mech is losing it a bit now after nearly 20 years of faultless use.

I built this over the weekend and it feels great! can't wait to get it out in the dirt.

Thinking 10x2 gearing in the future or even maybe 11x1 with a nice chain device?

Nor a lawnmower, apparently.

Is that mech a short cage?

Is this a new build bike? Or just polished up?

I like.

Looks good. One of my riding buddies just finished building one. I look forward to giving it a try.

Gears? Suspension? What is this old fashioned you speak of?

They are Black Sheep Ti, not something I could normally justify but they came with the frame 🙂
