That seattube angle almost looks like 90°

I just don't understand carbon cranks


Ha ! Looks like a good fracture...At least he rides !

True that

Carbon cranks would freak me out mentally, I’d be checking them all the time, bad negative distraction I could never entertain

120-160 fork and/or mullet, get the protractor out

That will be my next frame though. Do-it-all

How great would that look with about 6” of seat tube missing as well as that brace...?

I like that CK blue ano a lot.

so subtle it's almost black.

What's with the dumb kink in the seat tube? Why do people do that?

I think ti is best when it's done with a matte finish. Makes it look double primo.

As for carbon cranks: never. They don't solve any problems for me and I've seen break under mediocre riders. Like, just pedals just falling out. They don't even look better.

Cheap & cheerful and your pedal won't fall out.

nice build, although i think matte purple goes better with a 'real' ano colour such as gold, purple, pink or orange. still, would shred.

can anybody point me towards the cable guides in the above picture?

I think the silver looks primo.

Cable guides come stock on the Honzo…I know because my frame arrived yesterday, stoked!! Will be a while before it’s built up though…

I’m guessing you can find those guides aftermarket, but not sure which company makes them. Couldn’t see them in the kona store unfortunately.

I love this purple and chrome. An amazing combo. But I feel like all the time the builder spent polishing that dropper, they would have been better getting a part-time job for a week or something and splurging on a longer dropper and some chrome hubs. Radical bike, though.
