Sette Reken as 650B

[mcscycle]

I just built up a Sette Reken frame into a 650b! It's set it up as a 1x9, with a XFusion Fork. I took it out saturday for a 7 mile ride and so far I like it. This was my first time with a 650b.

Nice build! I like the green. I might have to try that with my Reken.

That's pretty cool! I'm thinking of building one of these too.

Do you know what the BB height is?

Also, how does Sette do the graphics? Are they painted or under a clear coat; decals?

Thanks!

Nice Reken! Can you tell me how much clearance you have by the seat and chain stay? It looks like it clears well, I'm just curious how much. You're using 2.35 tires, right? Thanks!

I see no response but they look like 2.1's, could be wrong, but I have seen another build with 2.35's.

I'm always looking for the tire stamp that's usually just out of focus or off camera.

The sticker is under a clear coat, but proper sanding and a new paint job itll be legit! I'll be painting my Derro to a all matte black powder coat next month. Hope this helps.

But in case you're still wondering it's still fairly low for a conversion.

Bump!

After recieving my frame yesterday and throwing my 650 wheel in back for a quick check, there's plenty room for a 2.2 Wolverine and 2.35 Nevegal! In shop now for a an SS build. Should be a nice little trail zipper. Pix to follow.

Ok, some sentimental bling carried over from parts bin.....

Nice!

[JMac47]

Nice!

Yes, surprisingly so. I'm happy with it. I put my WTB trail center lock wheelset on so I could run the XT brakes. Couold probably lighten things up abit if I used my XD Lite's and CrossMark's f&r, but those are on my Bastardo to help lighten that up.

I may even put a 2.2 Wolv on the back of this too, for a little more cush, as it fits.

Looks good bro!

I want to do this as well. Do you think itll work with an 18" frame and a dart 3 fork?

Frame yes. Dart afraid not.
