IF 29er built for endurance racing. Was supposed to be built with Lefty, but I'm not going that route until I'm again confident that I will not have to rebuild it from the factory.

PF30 BB shell - SWORKS cranks w/ XX spider and 39/ 26 rings...I think. 39-something. This was frustrating to set up, as the cranks are designed around an 84mm bb shell. The PF30 shell is 68mm. Took a while to get it right.

Hadley hubs w/ Asahi bladed spokes and Crest rims.

Elixir CRs

9sp X0 gripshift with 11/34 XT cassette and mid-cage X0 derailleur. FD is an X0 10sp der. Chain is a Dura-Ace 7800.

Reba Dual-Air dropped to 80mm.

Paint is supposed to sort of represent the minute between 6:59 and 7:00 as seen on an analog clock. My shop closes at 7. Colors are Rapha inspired.

A commuter/cruiser/Long Island XC machine that we're building for our buddy Atom for NAHBS. It's getting a full Paul build kit.
I'm super stoked for it- and I'll try to update you guys on the build process as it goes along...


Here's the tubeset for a 29" aluminum race frame that should be finished up in a few weeks too.


I've pretty much accepted that 29" wheels are pretty awesome and I'm glad that we can start popping such pretty ones out so quickly.

LOL,well that spoils any pranks/fun to have been had :p:rofl: How's you been old friend?

Me?,you know the old spinal injury? Well,V2-C4 will "slip" a minute amount out from where it's supposed to be from time to time,putting pressure on the 'Chord when it does,causing all kinds of "fake" problems/false signals,usually lasting only 7-10 days...this last one lasted 7+ months,so that's where I been...off the bike (and off the forums so it didn't depress me,LOL!).

Glad to see you're still around,my friend :thumb:

These are the only pics I have of it. The gravity Lights were replaced by KForce Carbons, the V1's replaced by Salsa Flat 710's, Speed V for a Devo.




Right now it's torn down as I stole the hubs and fork for my Reign build. I've got a Lefty Max to be installed, 240 hubs, and I'll be trying out a 1x10 set up and dropper post this time around.

I really can't bring myself to get rid of this bike. I love it.
