To be honest, I haven't ridden the bike yet, but it looks great!
The bike is inspired by the Topeak-Ergon team, so most of it is from Topeak, Canyon or Ergon. Only the bars, stem and rear mudguard aren't from them (because they don't sell these).

    I've never seen anyone list their tyre patches on one of these threads. No plans to save some weight and go tubeless?

    It fits the build that's why I did it :-).
    I will for sure go tubelss, probably next month, first I wanne test it with tubes. I never went tubeless before, my old mtb's wheels and tyres weren't tubeless-ready, so i'm a bit nervous to do it.
  • Good looking bike, now just needs to see some dirt!

    Yeah I must admit i haven't ridden her yet, not because I'm afraid that it gets dirty, but there is alot of salt on the roads because of the ice, and that's not good for a new bike. Also, ice isn't so good either xD. Gonna try this weekend if it isn't to icy.

    There isn't a forest next to my house, the closest one is about a 5km ride, so yeah I always have to ride at least 10km on the road every ride :(.

    A bit of road salt won't hurt it. I used to use an Alfa Romeo 75 through winter and even that survived the salt.

    Yeah I rode it last weekend, it's weird how much more grip I get from the rear-suspension. I did have to adjust some small things, switched the left brake lever with the lock-out so the left and right lever are the same, and repositioned the handlebar a bit. Next month i'm ordering tubless sealent and gonna try this tubeless thing xD.

    Don't forget the colour matched valve caps and rim tape.

    The valve caps are on point already xD.

    Those caps are the wrong shade of yellow.

    Yeah they are gold, didn't find yellow once, they do match the pump.
