This is my first build from scratch. Bit of a learning process for me, but after doing most of the upgrades on my Cotic, wanted the challenge of putting together my next bike myself (well as much as possible). Sourced a few parts from Rotorburn (frame from @r.ayres1, fork from @Litenbror), took what I could off my Process (brakes, drive train, seatpost, handlebars, pedals etc) and bought a few bits new (wheels).
Its going to be a bit smaller than the Process, might be too small even, but also wanted something a bit more lively with less travel for riding Stromlo and Majura which I mainly do. Went 29er too because I just like them more at the moment.
So here it is at the moment - still need to get the steerer cut, the front wheel redished and the shifter rebuilt after screwing that up.. oops. Also need a few more little bits to tie it together (seat clamp, new NW chain ring)
