As this as struck up quite the debate I can weigh the new blue setup. It’s had a couple changes so let me weigh it with some digital scales and post a picture of current set up! so since the orange bike I have changed the tyres to maxxis, pedals to hope, brakes to Hope, normal tensioner back on (waiting on a new 3D print for mine), longer stem and deity handlebars so it will be closer to 10kg I imagine now

Pretty standard components . My tensioner is a custom made 3D printed one I created. It was set up tubeless and the tyres helped too! Plastic pedals combined with cranks with an aluminium axle is good. Maguras are really lightweight brakes too. My new set up is heavier but is the best I’ve had so far

After the rear hub gave up on me on the Barcelona trip I thought it’s time to give her a makeover whilst the rear wheel was getting re built. Weight coming in at about 9.3kg. apart from titanium bolts no where else I’d really want to save much more weight.

A friend uses the extension bars which are higher that’s higher again! Feels quite good

Recently painted my hex in Volkswagen white silver. Will be changing a few more bits such as tyres, pedals and the tensioner to a new one. Overall happy with how it came out

Looks really good!! Reminds me of the bike Martyn Ashton had, the yellow/white one.

Nice to see one of these built!! Looks spot on

Hi all, fancied doing a build thread on a hex I’ll be building up as it’ll be getting a bit of welding done. I’ll be adding on a disc mount to the frame. I purchased the hex on Facebook, this is how it came apart from the stem which I put on to play in the street. I have some of my own parts already that I will be using. The next step was to strip it down and put the parts on that I could. This is how it is looking with the rear wheel and inspired forks I already had. The forks are the old inspired team forks and the wheel is an inspired rim built onto a inspired hub. The front wheel is currently getting built by a friend. That will be very similar with a matching rim on a hope pro 4 hub. I managed to pick up a new hope headset for £50 from someone around the corner from me! The fsa headset that the bike came with was a bit stiff and had non sealed bearings so had to go! Thats as far as the build has gone so far. I have actually custom painted magura MT5 callipers aswell which I will show when the bike is rolling and I can attach a brake. Will post more when I get the wheel back and after a I paint a few bits and bobs this week!

if someone would lend you one could make a carbon one possibly?

Can you do some rough measurements and drawings? could possibly get one 3d printed off my mate for you

Cheers! Yea it came out well if I’m honest. And for £20 and a few hours work can’t really go wrong!

Hi mate. I did it myself. Cost about £20 in total! Halfords Ford olympic blue paint was about £8 then I used a can of primer and laquer which was £1.99 each from home baragains. I find it just as good as the more expensive brands. Then about £5 on masking tape and sand paper.

Cheers all! Colour is ford Olympic blue.

Re-built the trials bike and played about with the stem height and geo. My sister painted drew some logos on that meant something to me and then it was laquered over!

Happened to me mate on a pair of inspired ones
