New bike with a mix of new & old parts: Felt Breed 20 frameset, built up with a SRAM Force 1 / Wolf Tooth drivetrain (mechanical), Whisky No.9 12F bars, Zipp 303 Firecrests sporting Rene Herse Barlow Pass Extralight tires (set up as tubeless).
- Total build comes in at 20lbs 1oz—not bad for an AL/CF gravel frameset!skwiotsmith
- Or 9.1kg if you prefer...regardless, this thing is quick.skwiotsmith
- Coool!! Which tires?OBBTKN
- Rene Herse Barlow Pass Extralight 700x38s. Was looking for Gravelking Slicks in 38s, but couldn't find em. Glad I ended up with the Herses tho!skwiotsmith
- Looks really fastSimonFFM
- @SimonFFM This thing rips on gravel. But for city riding, its def a quick & cushy ride with those Rene Herse tires...can't wait to get it back from the shop!skwiotsmith

It took six months, but now, I finally have my new bike. First time that I ride a bike of such a style and I love it.
(It's a coincidence I bought a new skateboard recently and now suddenly the bike I ordered in March was ready. Not wanting to show off.)
- Looks good Simon!!! Congrats!oey_oey
- Enjoy!oey_oey

- Would this actually work? I wonder if the steering needs to be locked tooGnash
- ^ I would think it would. It would also need some bracing at the bottomlemmy_k
- bars on the right are fixed in place behind the head tube, bars on the left are linked to the forks. nicekingsteven

also have this for the pump tracks, dirt jumping. Insane workout . 45 mins a night on a pump track and noticeable fitness gains.

I'm building a new MTB. Have a beautiful new SantaCruz tallboy frame that I'm going to do my dream build on (I'll post some photos as it comes together). For now I just had to share this new XTR crankset I'm going to put on the bike. I've wanted XTR since I was 15 years old reading MTB Action Magazine... 25 years later I've realized my dream. Come on, this thing is beautiful.

omg.. I'll never learn.
- Share pics when finished, and yes, it's a beautyOBBTKN
- get the santa cruz carbon wheelsets, that thing looks like a wip. the 29's are insane fast once you get to cruising speed.rootlock
- I had an Evil frame with all XTR components when I first moved to mexico back in '07, I felt like an asshole riding that thing around so I got rid of itGuyFawkes
- kinda wish I still had it now thoughGuyFawkes
- haha... I feel you on that @guy. Oh well, at least I'll be getting my money's worth.bogue
- @rootlock, my friend has those SC wheels on the bike right now. Love them. But went with a custom carbon setup from these guys:bogue

I can't stand ebikes and i hate fat biking but this is actually a contender for a 2nd vehicle or throw on a back of RV.
You can't get a dewey on a bicycle!

I'm not too keen on fat bikes either, but I do like the idea of an electric bike for the work commute in the winter. I though those treks were kind of expensive (most ebikes really) so I got one of these instead:

There's about 4in of snow coming down today so I'll know how well it handles pretty soon.
- that being said the wife's been rocking one of these all summer and it's been great cuz she can actually keep up LOLzarkonite

Long story made short, here we are—and this bike is a dream to ride...
- Lovely!! Steel? Titanium?OBBTKN
- Found the frame, cool: https://www.twinsix.…OBBTKN
- @OBBTKN Yeah, it's the Ti Rando. Just. Sublime...that's the only word I have for it...skwiotsmith
- skwiotsmith5
A few tweaks to the Twin Six Ti Rando...wider handlebars...enve wheels, dropped the front chrainring to 42t...and a 12oz weight drop to 20lbs 5oz...
- Are those the cable actuated hydraulic brakes? How are they going?BuddhaHat
- Mechanical brakes. Running AXS for shifting tho.skwiotsmith
- It's a very good looking ride. Goddamn you must layer up to go riding in those conditions tho'BuddhaHat
- Nice setup!!OBBTKN
- @BuddhaHat You'd be surprised at how few layers you actually need at 30F...skwiotsmith
- @OBBTKN Thanks! Really looking forward to taking this for a spin...stupid road salt...skwiotsmith
