Congrats on the 5spot Edwin. Can't wait to see you shredding the trails.

Awesome frame! You gonna LOVE it!

My first ride will likely be my "Ride from home" to dial in everything...but the real maiden voyage should be a trip the East side of the San Gabes: Manzanita Trail over to Devils Punchbowl. Low traffic and lots of fun...

Looks like a very nice build plan you've put together! What color did you go with? Here is an updated picture of mine with the cut steerer and my front wheel on it.

I've got a weeks worth of riding on mine. Continuing to dial it in, but I'm really enjoying the ride...next step is wider bars and I'll be good to go (eventually I'll put a different crank).
