How many of you have been dreaming of the bike that could do (almost 
) everything?
The German Magazine "BIKE" that claims to be the most selling MTB Magazine in Europe has published an article about one of its latest projects that had a goal to build a perfect Bike for every occasion resp. riding style, no matter if it is marathon, XC race, uphill and downhill or freeride!
Looking at the available frames that could face these challenges, they decided to go with the Cake1_DLX frame.
The result is a very light, superfast and very stable bike that could face also freeride and heavy downhill trails. The weight of the complete bike is 11 Kg or 24 lb.
The Bike is fully custom build with following components:
Frame: Cake 1 DLX with carbon swingarm
Fork: Rock Shox Reba SL (Poploc)
Rear Shock: Manitou Swinger 3-way air, SPV
Wheels: FRM FL-M 12 ZTR Olympic with Tune titanium quick release axle
Rear Der.: Sram X.0
Shifter: Sram Trigger
Front Der.: Sram X-Generation
Crank: Shimano XTR
Cassette: Sram PG990
Chain: Sram PC990
Headset: FRM Worldcup
Stem: Syntace F99 (105mm, with Titanium screws)
Handlebar: Easton Monkey Lite XC Lo

Seatpost: USE Alien Cyclops Alu
Saddle: Selle Italia SLT T1
Pedals: Time ATAC XS Carbon

Bottle Holder: Specialized

I have included the picture of the complete bike, so you can enjoy it as well
Should you have interesting pics or informations on custom build Cake's then post it here for review.
