well i got this frame to build it up my self, but to do justice i want to get some great parts for it,, when i was half done my friend mark saw it and totally feel in love, to make the history short he end up with the frame and with the help of a strong bank account,,,, we when to Town on the build..

the head angle definitlly got slack by about 1 degree, but the bike ride really well and still very responsive,.we always have the option, to place spacers inside the fork to reduce the travel but we never found the need..

detail of the front end , i confess i was a little scare about the reliavility of the Maverich fork, specially the seal but after i install the RED seals on it the fear also when away.
I will say Paul turner prove again that he is a visionary and a exelent designer , the steering column is very smart and super light and the front quick release is a piece of beauty and REAL quick release, i just wish he use a 20MM axle as soppose to a 24MM so you don't need special hubs and rack mounts..
we are running a Hope Ti-6 sistem with a 200MM rotor, if anything a little to much, but this bike is more a exercice of Exessss than anything else.
also we run tubeless mavic rims and tubeless tyres, so is a lot less rotating mass than ussual

we also install a Rolloff hub on it.. what can i say about it,,!?!? the closes thing to shifting perfection, for sure is heavy and increase the sprung mass to the rear end, but the "Brain" is taking it really well so far.

here is the drive train, xtr cranks with a 38 t ring (minimum rolfhoff recomends)and a 18T in the back, gives you about the same Rathios as a 46/26 with a 12/30 almost as wide as any bike,,i don't know the exact numbers..but you can check them on their site if you want, after all the are german and love Numbers...

I hope you gals & guys enjoy the little diferences, i only have a few miles on the bike, for sure not sufficient to have the ultimate review, but so far i really enjoy this little toy.
sorry we never measure it on the scale, i'm sure is not extra super light, but is bomb proff and plush
