amazing the amount of work and research that went into this project and all your projects for that matter, It would be a cool to have cost brake down along with this process, but that maye be non of our business LOL just stripping the frame and clearing coating has got to be a huge labor undertaking costing big bucks I bet. anyways love your stuff thanks for sharing, hope you get to quit your day job 😁

It takes many hours to remove the paint but it's worth it . I went a little insane with my spark and made it single speed at under 6kg .I have since added gears so will be weighing it soon .
I like your build (once again) a lot, especially the clear coat design of the frame! If you don't mind, I'd had some questions about some of your chosen parts: 1. Which bottom bracket (manufacturer) did you choose? 2. is it possible to buy carbon plate from bjorn cycle separately to tune the Fox transfer or did you use one from a seatpost? 3. Can you tell me which after market clamps and bolts you've used? Would appreciate a reply!

Trickstuff в свободной продаже на R2 и Bike-Components. Родная ось 30 грамм без рычага сьемного, а Extralite выкручивать неудобно, шестигран с другой стороны упирается в переклюк. Нитки Berd не держат натяжение, сколько не тяни. Седло классное, но как грязь из сетки выковыривать? С проводкой очень много работы, но проще и легче беспроводные LeapBlips )

Nice and clean build. I have to wonder if you're trying to thread that line between durability and lightness. Have you had any parts break? Do those rims hold up to rock gardens or riders over 200 lbs? The tires look paper thin. The seat looks really cool, but how do you feel after a few hours in the saddle?
