'
Reba SL Forks
Hayes Stoker Trails

XT M770 Crankset

XT Shifters

SLX/XT Bottom Bracket

XT Front Mech

XTR Rear Mech

Jagwire Gear Outer

Exotic Matrix II Seatpost
Kappa Pro Logo Seat
Kooka Carba Low riser bars

I'll add more pics as I get the rest of the bits and pics during the build.

Partially built:




Got to admit I borked the gear outer though, went to cut to length, but didn't realise I'd pulled it through by accident. So now need some more as it was about 6inch too short!

Just need to sort the gear cable, then index and size the chain.

Also got to sort out the headset as it is not playing ball!

lol, looks good.

Might have to post some pics of my WIP inbred which is very very white...

i'm surprised by the quality of the frame for the price, and its quite light.
I was expecting to really heavy.

The above build is 25lbs so far, just the seat/post to add really!

and don't forget pedals :roll:

Hmmmmm, that will be tasty, they do build up light! I think mine will be around 23-24 lbs.

Looking good!

I have an inbred WIP too based around an 18" frame, white revelations, XT and XTR drivetrain, hope brakes, easton ea70 post bars and lots of red and white bling bits...

Just need to get the frame faced up and i'm ready to build

ride_whenever

I need to get my frame re-sprayed as i had one of the old frames with v-mounts and no disc mounts but got them welded on. Unfortunately cannot find a local powdercoater

rowlers

Got it all finished tonight, gears indexed, chain sized...

just waiting for my new seat clamp to arrive and I'm ready for test ride.
Also waiting for my hope top tube hose guides to arrive so I can tidy the rear hose up a bit!

pics up tomorrow night

What is the issue with the rear hose? I am hoping to get my inbred built up this weekend... There looks to be enough hose guides on the frame as far as I can see...

hose guides on mine were complete loops, i'm guessing you don't want to take the hose off the rear brake, so you need ti guides to replace the typical zip ties?

its not a problem as long as you are confident with hydraulics and have enough time to do it.

only thing is, hope hose guides rely on the stopper part on the frame cable guide, and if its like mine (which was older and a bit different) then there aren'y any as they expect you to use an uninerupted rear brake cable if you're running anythign mechanical.

Oh I see. Yes mine has loops too. I am stripping the brakes down anyway to put on some White hoses and anodised fittings so it shouldn't be a problem in my case.

Can't wait to get mine built up got the frame booked into lbs on saturday to get the bb facing etc done and them I can get cracking.

Similar spec to yours so I'm hoping around the 27lb mark all in.

Only thing on the llst to change is the red top spacer, not sure on the colour yet, prob stay all black and white!

Quick update,
as the chain rings were borked on the XT crankset, I had my SLX set on, but, got the middleburn rings fitted this afters so here they are now.



shift nicely and saved 30g too!

The bling monster claims another victim.

It's a slippery slope now I'm aftaid, soon you'll be looking for gold rotor bolts and bottle cage bolts, gold spacers (as it happens, PM me about this, I think I have a few you can have), a gold chain.....
