Riding around town it reminds me a lot of the rigid SS Vitus 26er I had a while ago. The steering is fast, but no handing it is easy so I wouldn't say it's twitchy. Maybe just a smaller gyro to overcome and a smaller wheelbase?

Whilst I'm sure everyone who gets one will be saying "rides just like a normal bike!" - -And I largely agree- the small wheels with high pressure BMX tyres definitely don't provide the kind of roll over or cushioning you get on a larger bike. I think the burly MTB finishing kit maybe contributes to that? Might think about moving some stuff around but for now I'm super happy with it. I'll experiment with dropping the bars lower and higher before cutting the steerer tube and maybe look into some gears next year or so.

For the record I'm 5'10 with long legs. Normally have a seat to BB of 71cm

Sure looks that way doesn't it.

Oh really? I'm planning to upgrade to gears at some point. Feels like a cheap win.

Peep that Kona to the side tho? buff

Waiting on chainring

Crazy that the roadrunner neutrino is on tubeless? I actually would have really loved to do this myself but I didn't think there was any tubeless 20" tyres??

Oh well, if I can tubeless all my other bikes then I'll still only need to stock one tube size..

Some further notes from round the web

You're right. I guess it's back to school for me to learn how to sohcahtoa once again.

Anyway, I'm trying to do some stem geo maths, but its kind of difficult because I don't really have anything to compare it with. Stock the L Neutrino has stack 504mm and reach 406mm. The HT angle is 73mm, so for each mm of spacer I add, that'll decrease the reach by 1.327mm.

406 is already pretty short for reach (as I understand it???) So I'm thinking of only having a humble 20mm of spacer which should give a stack of 524mm and a reach of 380. Then I'll put a 110mm stem on (because that's what I've got) and maybe get riser bars. Do those numbers sound vaguely plausible for a 5'10 man who normally rides a 54 top tube?

I took the tyres to the bike shop and the frame is there, apparently wheel build today. I forgot to take a photo but the finish looks very nice. The glitter is extremely subtle, but that's probably a good thing.

Tyres have arrived, frame is due this week.

gardening tbh. With the occasional night time walk.

Much in it between Decathlon, Alpkit and PlanetX if i want the cheapest rechargeable headlamp ?

(Default mode will be decathlon because I can just roll into the shop)

A mere Genesis Flyer, basically all stock. 28mm Duranos and SKS 35mm matte Bluemels. Cartridge pads really helped improved the clearance.

I thought this was hacks and bodges not permanent fixes that will definitely last.

Where do people get things like a thin strip of metal though? Mechano?

My mudguard snapped at the brake bridge so I've tried taping it back together (gorilla glue under the tape)

Hoping it's resilient enough for at least another year.

can't see any text whatsoever under there!

Can anyone ID this saddle? R...F? RaceFace? Doesn't look like any I've seen though.

It's comfy I just don't know what...it is...

I have changed my gearing request to 44x14 or 44x15. I am very strong and can ride up anything, but I am very lazy.

I'll fit gears sooner rather than later, shimano zee seems pretty cheap/easy.

These are about 240 so I'm going to say its 26". Thanks!

How do I know if canti studs are for 26 inch or 29 inch wheels on a fork that purports to support both? I think they're for 26, but short of putting a wheel in there and setting everything up....any ideas?

I apparently missed the email my LBS sent six days ago asking about gearing, grips, saddle, tyres.

Have presently specified ss, whatever lock on grips, cambium c15, and maxxis grifters.

Was slightly tempted to get Schwalbe big apples in 20" x 2.15 but I suppose if you've got the clearance you may as well fill it. I do feel slightly suspect about BMX tyres given no one rides them for distance (as I understand it) and I'd rather not be repeatedly puncturing but ho hum. Easily swappable if thats where i want to go.
