thank you much Hombre3000!

i was glad the grips showed as much of the carbon fiber as they do.

i reweighed with everything and it weighed in at 27lbs not 26, still happy since it is a budget build.

Nope, I didn't, because it's not my bike. I was posting those photos for someone else.

It's a factory tensioner. There are lots of tensioners out there that do that. My favorite is the Surly Singleator, which works as either a push-up or a pull-down.

Agreed, but I like handmade ghetto ones best! Plus the surly ones are derailer expensive!

I was put off the Surly one after a mate had one and it gave him crap, so I was rather taken with the Gusset bikes equivalent that is simply a rigid arm that you fix to using a bolt through the hanger eyelet jobber. It can push up or down and it seems to be working thus far...

I was running the Surly one for a summer, worked great until the arm snapped Confused homemade sounds like the way to go

Built it up at work yesterday. The ride feels much nicer than the alu frame I was riding before. New wheels are in the pipeline, probably one of the hope pre-built wheelset's.

I'm planning a build and a 2:1 gear ratio seems to be the go? 32 + 16
