Wrapped frame in 3m tape. Decided to leave decals off. The bike will be attention grabbing enough as it is with all the bright green bits.
Finally fixed the 6mm dish on the rear wheel. See upcoming post in the f@#kwits thread.
Fitted 140mm linkage plates which nicely match the DVO Topaz. Also changed the chainstay linkage to the 27.5 setting. It's nice to see that Liteville use really high quality needle bearings and titanium bolts for their linkages.
Fitted headset, fork, stem and bars. Far out the crown is low on the Diamond. There's enough space between the legs for a 27.5x3 tyre but you would struggle to fit a 2.5 with the crown height. The photo with the fork has a 2.25 tyre fitted for reference.
The setup of the lsc/hsc controls should work well with the intended purpose of the bike, i.e. I can lock out the fork for road sections on epic rides. I'm looking forward to comparing the Sd components DVC air spring to the MRP ramp control on the Pole.
Overall really happy with how the bike is looking. The photos are from my phone and they don't do the bike justice. It practicallly glows from the forks and the polished raw alloy.
