Dang! That looks sweet Siko. Can't wait to see it complete. Are you going for the King wheelset?
Yes on the king wheels set with mavic 823 rims. I just have to save and find a machine shop to do the conversion. Than it will be really complete.

Love the mango Sik, excellent chioce!
Beautiful Sverre. Can't wait to see that in person in a few months. You too, of course, but you're bike especially. ;) Did I read correct on the uk site that the current build is 41lbs?

Completed the bike today.
18,9kg ./ 41,58lbs. (Will be 18,8kg. / 41,3lbs)

A few more pics, a bit blurry though..







The pics doesn't do the perlezent frame and fork much justice. The bike actually glovs in the sun.
Did a quick parkinglot/street spin just after the completion. Oh my!! Riding the RL again felt SO good. Everything is so crisp, quiet, plush and light. Really belive in the BoXXers, so nice and adjustable. Bye bye brakeinduced forkdiving.

Thanks.
The hubs are 20mm. Tune front, 12mm. King rear. Havent ridden' the tune more than on the parking lot yet. Good so far, lol. But seriously, I think it looks good. It's just a hubshell with two big machinebearings. The diffrence from other 20mm. hubs is that the Tune's dont use a axel, the bearings sits sits directly on the fork axel. Drops weight for sure. Only 160g. The 12mm. King rear is wellproven from the wheelset I used last season.

Cheers

Global Warming's 26 inch BMW hardtail: It has different head angle, seat tube angle ,top tube lenght, integrated headset, oversized down tube with smaller seat stay tubes, longer chain stays, seat tube lenght is shorter, besides that it's similar to the park bike. Build in Brooklyn:



Its not my bike just a xpost from another site.
