    Yep it’s a 26″ Full Sus

    Was hoping this would arrive before I went away for the week, but it will be ready when I get home with the wheels and the brakes.

    My first new frame in ages and my first completely custom build (not just scrounging parts from older bikes)

    How did you manage to find any 26″ wheels? I thought nobody sold them anymore…

    Judging by the pics, he hasn’t… it could be a problem… will 650b fit the frame?

    Ooh – looks loverly.

    Did you manage to get a run-out deal somewhere? I am thinking I’d like to upgrade my Blur LT to LTc…

    I’m happy 🙂 it’s bugger all in the frame weight but the carbon stiffness should pay off
