Here she is. I think she's a Looker. I have to wait till next week for the complete build as the wrong brakes were ordered and the wheels are not done. The frame looks spectacular. I love the small steel tubes and the small welds. Sycip Bro's did a fine job....

Cool, that gives me glimpse of what my Curtlo will look like.

What are it's dimensions and angles?

 

[threesixeight]

steel/aluminum

Very nice. Steel front and aluminum rear? That will make for a great ride.

 

[IBIKEAZ]

It's a custom, but the dimensions I remember are: BB height 13.5" (dictated by the Ventana rear), head tube angle 71.5, seat tube angle 74. top tube around 23.25 center to center.

Not that it matters..

What does that thing weight, just out of curiosity? I was wondering what the weight differance between that and a regular El Cap would be. I bet they are about the same since the El cap is built so beefy.

 

[IBIKEAZ]

According to Jay Sycip, he thinks they weigh the same. I think beefy is OK, I'll save some weight on the parts.

 

[DSR]

Wow! That and the Silk Ti 29er definitely stand out in my mind. But I have a thing for both Ventana and Ibis. S

 

[el-cid]

Man, I love Sycip bikes. I like the color combo with the blue decals, too. That must be the 4" rear, huh? Ventana should make the 4"/5" rockers available aftermarket later I'd think.

H-O-T. That's exactly the bike that could one day lure me out of my rigid ways

Take some more pics after - or while - it is being build. It is a real beauty and I would love to see more.

 

[Enel]

Gorgeous!

4 inch rear?

More photos please...up close if possible.

Build it up, ride it, and let us know about any front triangle flex.

Get a weight if possible.

Come ride in Prescott so I can see it in person.

Now that's exactly what I thought!!

Very nice, looking forward to the pics of the finished build!!

Have fun with it, hope to see similar builds on the Handmade bicycle show inMarch!

Someone did some good thinking before welding the downtube to the head tube. I'm sure a Reba fork will clear

Guess it's not polite to ask the lady's weight?

 

[IBIKEAZ]

It's a 4" version. They said they can get and make the 5" version also. I'll try to get a pre-built weight, but the frame is still at the shop this weekend. I'll try to get some more pics up soon.

 

[nwmtb]

hot damn that thing is sweet ! I really like the looks of the traditional front triangle. Do you have any idea of what the stand over height will be ?


What fork did you decide to go with ?


later, Chad

Fork: Reba 100mm non pop-lock. I'll post the rest of the build with the final pics. It will be top stuff though: King wheelset, Sram XO, XTR level.

 

[IBIKEAZ]

I sure hope the Reba clears. I told them of the issues and they assured me that it wouldn't.

 

[tamjam]

And me my Inglis. There were 8 ahead of me on his waitlist when I sent him my deposit 6 weeks ago. Must be getting close....

WOW! Going to keep a eye out for your bike. When I see a orange blur go by me I'll know that was you.

Hot colour..
