walker Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) Yeah man! I like that!The build isn't completely to my taste, but its not my bike im sure it rides really well. Think that chain could be a bit shorter though Edit: but it seems you have the short DH rohloff, which makes things more tricky, i got a longer tensioner arm made so that it tucked up nicely under the chainstay.
