After months of gathering parts, I should have everything else in next week to build up this frame. It'll be a 1X9 setup. I'll post pics when it's done. Parts include:
Love the Candy Apple Green color. That build looks very similar to my Juice; just finished it up two weeks ago. Wish I had gotten the white brakes though, they look good. I agree with all about the ride quality; I have an On-One Inbred 29er and it doesn't feel as smooth as the Juice.
***edit*** I tried to post pix, but haven't posted enough yet.
Love the color!. 34x17?, thats no joke. I am running 34x20 on my Juice and my Soukri. The Juice feels flexy running 34x20 to me. How does 34x17 feel to you and how much do you weigh?.
34x17 is simply perfect for most applications...I raced it on Short Track this year..current weight 172
I am not afraid to walk it if the hill is to tall for the gear...I like to pedal and a 20 is simply to short of a gear for me
Thanks for the info. I just moved up from 32x20 and thought it was tough going to 34x20 on the Juice. I weigh 250 and get a fair amount of bb flex when climbing on the Soma. The Soukri is stiffer in the bb and 34x20 has been much better. 34x17 is something for me to work towards. Especially after seeing how much faster 34x20 is than 32x20.
What does a sub 20lb bike feel like on the trails and when climbing?. Does it bounce around more while descending at speed on techy terrain?. I cannot even imagine a bike that light!.
Meltingfeather, that is a reality nice build; amazing to have a sub 20 lb steel frame bike.:thumbsup: Mine tilts the scale at 26, but I did build it for a 210 clyde

agreed... the one-off/custom appeal is nice too. :thumbsup:
i dig the badge as well... i almost got the new adhesive badge for mine, but just never pulled the trigger.
I have been in limbo cuz of trail running lately. Plus I have a stable of so many bikes, with so little time. My main ride is the Giant NRS3, oldie but goodie!
I am in the process of building a Juice SS and have ran into an issue mounting my Avid brake caliper. Not matter which Avid adapter I try it just will not line up with the rotor.
Not on my (former) Juice, but on a couple of other frames I've used presta valve nuts as spacers to get the caliper in the range of the alignment flexibility.
lol
Glad you got it figured out.
At least it's an easy fix
