I just got that chain for my bike, I kinda had a laugh when it showed up in a jewelry box (I didn't know that when I ordered it). I think one of the only things I would change on your list is the cranks, RF Sixc or Next SL. Other than that, looking sharp!

Nah, I like the idea of doing a full SRAM build.

sparing absolutely no expense. I'd still say Argyle over Sid, the black and silver Argyle would still look rad on this bike and would perform much better throwing it around. isn't that Bontrager's road saddle?

seraph (Apr 25, 2014 at 9:47)

Yeah, it's a Bontrager road saddle. I like road saddles on short travel bikes. And no Argyle. I don't need the extra strength it provides, and it doesn't come in a tapered steer tube yet.

mfbeast12 (Apr 25, 2014 at 12:52)

itll look dope anyways and you, being seraph, are one step ahead of me (if not more). but bro... do you really need the carbon nutsack holder too?

seattlefreeride13 (May 5, 2014 at 21:34)

haha get an overture for that thing. The only way to go. As well as maybe decedants or a non-carbon crank. they can get annoying, from experience.

I'm not going to get a Chromag saddle like every other Ticket S out there. My current build plan actually calls for a WTB Volt Carbon. And I'm sure the XO cranks will be fine. Descendents are overkill.

That is going to be SUPER sweet! get that built!

I see you're going for the overrated stealth look here? good luck having a similar bike to everyone else

ktm87 (Apr 25, 2014 at 4:05)

Scotj009 (Apr 25, 2014 at 8:15)

That is how to build a ticket s!!!

Nice build buddy

Sweet!

Why the hubs?

seraph (Apr 25, 2014 at 9:48)

White Industries is a local company and I like to support them. Plus everyone else has Hope or King or DT and I wanted to do something a little different.

GaryOrange5 (Apr 25, 2014 at 12:56)

Buttttt Hope

seraph (Apr 25, 2014 at 12:58)

And there's nothing wrong with Hope hubs. I have a set on my Solo and I had a set on my Nomad Carbon. But I am inclined to try something a little different this time.

GaryOrange5 (Apr 25, 2014 at 13:02)

Nothing wrong with that dude. Looks like a great build. I couldn't pull off an all black build though, no girly colours like my bikes

I think the only thing I would change, and I know your reason for spec'ing them, is the brakes. Would go Tech 3 E4s. Again, being a bit patriotic for English kit

seraph (Apr 25, 2014 at 13:04)

I have run Hope brakes once in the past, but I know so little about them these days that I am better off running something that I know how to work on.

GaryOrange5 (Apr 25, 2014 at 13:15)

Yeah that's true, can't argue that. Been running them the last 12 years or so, so know a fair amount about them.
What's the time scale on this then?

There is a frame on hold for me at Trek's West Coast warehouse at the moment. It will ship when my Employee Purchase form is processed.
