  yes, but am also now concerned about getting decent guards that will fit over those tires :(

  an arkose instead of a lithium? feel like lithium definitely has a more relaxed geo

  was wondering about this - coudl i still rig up a rear dynamo light using the same hub/front light combo?

  put a lowball bid in - the shitty paint and logistics of getting it to glasgow sort of put me off. It didn't sell!

  cheers, will see what @edscoble says.

  Any idea what the maximum tire+guard combo on the 920 was?

  @Georgel that's helpful ta, bodes well for huge 650b and guards.

  @PhilDAS - surely 'just buy a lithium' now?

  aye, was drooling over that! Lovely build.

  I should have some faith in Pinnacle - the designer clearly knows their stuff.

  There's disappointingly few examples of people doing cool shit with their lithiums. It appears to me to be a pretty cheap bike with decent potential for something a little different. Is there a catch that I'm missing?

  Have to say the paint on the 920 is pretty lovely and a light bike is always welcome, even if weight isn't a priority for this build. Why does it need mtb wheels? Do you mean 26" or do you just mean wide rims or what? In terms of reach - would using flat bars be a problem, then?

  yeah, uber gruber did - i quite like it. Still not proper internal routing but ticks a few other boxes.

  Still, having seen how cheaply I could do the Pinnacle lithium, I'm tempted.

  beautiful bike but not enough clearance with guards and also not internal cable routing. Also too expensive at around £1000 for the frameset alone
