Here's the new bike build. Just polished it up tonight, and just in time for winter to hit hard, unfortunately.
29x2.0 in the back, 29x2.1 in the front. XT/Deore components, barcons. Revelate framebag fits in the diamond frame with enough room for water bottles.
With the nice weather, had a chance to take it for a ride today in the thaw. Rides like a dream..
All I have to do is sew the bug skirt on the tarp, and i will be READY for spring ultralite touring.
