Why do manufacturers insist on the curves? if only that toptube was straight it would look awesome. Nice build thought, im starting to realize ho0w much of a money pit my Solo is as well :/

That looks sweet... But what do you use it for? Single speed seems an odd choice?

Mostly freeride, so like at warrimoo or oxy, but also some AM every now and then.

Gears just seem unnecessary. I had them on my bottlerocket but I never really used them. Even riding a local loop im not struggling climbing.

I trust the people making the frame to judge what shape tubing is strongest. Im rather pleased with the look of it though.

its about 13kg, not super light but reasonable. heavy tyres and rims mostly, and could probably get away with a 34 831 instead of the 36, but I love the feel of a mid weight but solid build.
