BuBu's Fairlight cycles

XC or Gravel ?

I don't have a Fairlight cycle??

 

[Rusty_68]

Holt. XC. Just waiting for the hubs and rims to arrive, so I can build the wheels. Then we should be good to go. Got most of the other parts.

All that dicking around with brake caliper mounts and they forgot to put sliding dropouts on

(other than that it looks like a very well thought out frame)

Acceptable.

Hubs and rims turned up today... Next step is to get the verniers out and calculate the spoke lengths.

This looks fabulous.

What was the frame weight?

What was the frame weight?

No idea. I never weigh anything of mine. Just go with components I know that work. It won't be light, but then I'm carrying about 20kgs more than I should, so neither am I...

Fantastic looking frame.
How much did it cost including shipping?
Did you get stung with import duties?

Cost of the frame, with a HOPE headset and seat collar and one spare hanger, including delivery came to $2240AUD.
Customs stung me for $337 import duties.
So door to door total was $2577.

Got the front wheel built this morning, but those silly boys and girls at Bikesportz sent me an Ebike rear hub, not a standard one (they weigh 70grams more, as they are built stronger), so I am still awaiting the arrival of the rear.

Also just need the T47 BB to turn up and it's GO GO GO...Roger wilco...chocks away...tell Bunty I love her.

 

[beeb]

Such a tease. But those silver Hopes look great!

 

[Rusty_68]

The Hope T47 BB turned up today, so popped that in, along with the cranks and RD. Spins very smoothly too...
Spoke to Bikesportz and the raer hub is on it's way. All being well, I should have the wheel built and the bike finished by Sunday.

Turning into a dream build!
