So why didn't you drill in the down tube? Go full stealth instead of half stealth???

You mean a second entry hole and a third exit hole at the head tube? I'd have thought the BB is too tight a bend to get it around that way?
Anyway, the routing doesn't bother me. It looks great now and I can live with the one hole.

No I meant a 1st and 2nd hole, one so the cable enters the down tube by/near the headset then exit above the be like most do and into the seat tube..
Wouldnt be an extreme bend.. but fair play.. your happy with it and took the balls to do it. Hats offs to ya

Nice, but what is that huge spacer at the bottom of your head tube for/why..?

It's a crown race to run it with a 140mm fork, original design is 160mm with B+ tires

It's a Large. I was on a medium Oka before that and the fitment on this one is much better

Eh? That's still 3 holes but backwards to how I described it no?

Hole 1 - from bar into downtube near headset.
Hole 2 - out of downtube above bb
Hole 3 - Into the seat tube to meet the post.

I wouldn't drill 3 holes. I wouldn't drill 1 hole either.

You know that PVD guy even his frame cracked around the hole by the headtube/top of downtube.

So after the frame above cracked by the top dropper routing hole he welded a brace over the hole and painted it blue.

I was hesitating between the M and L, as I was an M Oka before. Glad I went with the L.

I'm 1.78m, inseam I don't know really, but I'm more of a long legs/ small torso proportion lol

Thanks. Think I will go XL then. I'm 1.86m and all legs and stubby torso also. I can get away with putting the seat forward a bit as the seat angle isn't that steep.

How does it ride? I can't find any reviews at all.
Have you had any other similarish bikes to compare it with? Stanton? canfield? Etc?
