Bike upgrade and test ride

I just finished a few changes to this bike. It belongs to Manolo. He’s had it for a year now and wanted to get the Fat fork after trying my bike with one. His bike got the new 135mm Fat Truss fork with the carbon steerer. I also rebuilt his 29″ wheels with wider rims, wider Paul front hub and then built a Fat front wheel to go with the fork.

Originally the frame did not have any bottle bosses or the Crudcatcher mounts but he decided that they could useful so we added them.

The bike also got a new King BB, Gore Ride On rear derailleur cables and housing and I polished out a few parts.

I finished the bike just as it was getting dark but I needed to test it and I REALLY wanted to ride, so I went.

After the ride I cleaned, tuned and packed it up.

I very much like how this one came out.

FedEx picked it up today and it’s going home.
