Done with time to spare before the Oregon Handbuilt show in two weeks! Really pleased with how this one turned out; 18.5lbs as shown.

I'll just have to wait until after the show to get it muddy.....

Cheers,
Rob.

What an awesome bike Rob!! That's really one of the nicest mtb's I've ever seen, really love how clean it all looks and all the technical details in the frame. The thin tubes with those huge tires really make it look like it wants to go fast

Let us know how it rides?

Amazing... The definition of clean lines. :applause:

Most Excellent Rob. Where is the break for the belt?

Wow! I'd love to have that bike for just a few minutes in the high school I teach at. It's got to be at least a quarter-mile from one end to the other (probably longer now, we just expanded) and that thing would be perfect for getting around-- especially with all those kids in the halls! (kidding folks)

that really is just incredible.

thats super nice. I love the paint scheme, and the kink in the seat tube, and the simpleness of the handlebars.

There is a custom machined split dropout on the driveside to get the belt in; keeps it nicely hidden.

Do you have a close up shot of the custom dropout Rob?

We've been asked recently if we could do a carbon version for the belt drive chainring, seems that they're getting more popular especially as Trek have taken them on for a 'street' bike model. It's not so easy but we're thinking about it.

Your bike looks great

. I can't help thinking that it looks like a monster truck interpretation for the cycling world. Big fat tyres with a relatively small chassis!

THIS sums it up for me! :applause:

Here you go (I then added a countersunk M4 bolt as a keeper - the axle/skewer does most of the holding together):

And here is a close up on the bike of the one on my winter bike

Thats clever!!

The attention to detail is amazing. Like the way the brake caliper post mounts flare out... it's those little things that make it stand out.
Really nice option to clamp the stem at the fork crown too...

do you have any other pics of the seat mast?

its absolutely stunning, love the fork and stem/bar with reverse steer clamp
