My latest build based on @Ifonlyiwerebelgian 's ex-frame.
Forgot to took pics during the first proper ride (tho it was not muddy and basically did not cover any elevation, so would not count anyway) - so only have this one in the park of the local stadium. Rocking the 27.5 x 2.1 bandwagon, but sadly no handcrafted part or accessories - I substitute these with gold and rainbow bling from Aliexpress. -

After days of sanding the Bombtrack, finally painted it during the weekend. I was planning something neat and Rapha inspired, with straight lines and stuff. Well, did not work out too good, so gone mad and ended up something that Jackson Pollock would have done. But actually I like it a lot.
Hopefully It shall be built up Wednesday. Parts list:
650b wheelset - DT350/Hope4 hubs, XM401 rims, Maxxis tread lites in size 2.1)
Sram Force cranks, Stone 38T oval chainring, Ztto 9-50 11s cassette, Force 1 mech with a GX cage
Sram Force mechanical levers, Spyre flatmount caliper
46cm Venturemax bars, procraft 0 offset post, and the trusty Spesh Power
Oh and the same type Hylix carbon forks that I used in the Pickenflick after ditching the Lauf. -

Actually... I had a weak moment seeing a Lauf Grit listed here for bargain. But luckily been sold soon after. I was toying with the idea for the Bombtrack Hook EXT based build I bought from @Ifonlyiwerebelgian (and this one is supposed to be the n+1 'gonnabethebikeheretostay')
As for the budget build, its an old 26" rigid mtb, disc brake mounts welded on, decent 9 spd deore groupo and BB7 brakes. Put on the Billy Bonkers (cus' sidewalls, duh) and will get some wide gull-wing bars and a front loader or rack of some sort.
Firs hit already taken, due to the DIY brake mounts, the standard fenders cannot be secured, gonna need clip-on's or something. -
