Picked up this frame and a few components from a good dude that does cruisers for charity. Got it for a decent price. With a number of project going back to specs, I wanted to do something different with this one.

From there I dug out some parts laying around or scattered on other bikes. Kooka crank, old school nashbar seatpost.

Pulled the mavic wheels off another bike i had a change of plans with. Black coda hubs which went well. Also picked up onza cantilevers and a ringle stem. I had a 3x10 xtr drivetrain laying around so I decided that’s the way to go

Levers and hyperlite bar came in. Big issue I’m running into is a way to connect the Xtr 980 shifters without the handles…

Are the XTR 985 just shifters? If so, they should mount up with those levers. Awesome build. :)

Story of my life but my dad came over today and he’s really liking this frame so….. the build is switching frames. Might all move to a black beast a few years newer…. Need a fork though. I was thinking girvin carbon. What’s everyone’s thoughts?
