Well, it's that time of year; summer build time. Owing to going to University, I've realised that having one hack bike wasn't quite enough, as I had to keep taking it between Uni and Home. So it got me thinking; two hack bikes (with two nice bikes).

Initially I thought of getting a slot drop-out frame and making a single speed rigid MTB. However, I'd been riding my single speed roadie in Oxford already, and thought it might be nice to have a few gears. (Headington Hill is a bitch)

Settled on an Inbred Frame in the end. (Barry White: 18")

Proposed build consists of a 1x9 or 1x10 drivetrain. 1x9 would be an XT rear mech. 1x10 would be a Road rear mech with a closer ratio cassette. - Single chainring on the stylo cranks. - Slick tyres on 717 Rims - Hope Pro II hubs. - Chris King Headset is on order (Thanks to GoldGPR) - Thompson Post and Stem - Selle SLR XP Saddle (The only one I really find comfortable) - E13 XCX Chainguide. - Some form of Low rise XC Bar, preferably black... Any ideas?[/img]http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/1769/photo144k.jpg[img][/img]http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/7045/photo145k.jpg[img][/img]http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/3272/photo146u.jpg[img]Most of the updates to this will be in a week or two, when I get back to work (And get trade prices again) Any comments on the build welcome, including advice. :twisted:[/img]

    If this isn't your nice bike what is? :lol: Shouldn't a hack bike have a load of crap on it, not CK, Thompson and bling chainring bolts...?

    Well... Honestly.


    It started out as a hack intended bike.
    But I got carried away.

    :D
