The Real Pedant
Heya All,
Finished this about a month ago now, but haven't had any spare time to post it up Was looking into options for a new commuter recently, and came across the Chinese 29er craze, so figured I'd give it a go - especially as I wanted to build it on the cheap as much as possible.
The only brand new things were the frame, fork, wheelset, tyres and seatpost(s) - everything else came across from my old XTC commuter and the spares collection laying around.
Started with a Thomson Masterpiece on there and that was great when the bike was on the street. Ended up getting a great deal on the Funn post, and figured heck, why not?!? It's now on there as I like this thing on groomed trails (OMV) as well as the road. It certainly is an absolute weapon on the trail!
I've posted the weights for the parts I was able to weigh myself
Enjoy!
