Here it is. I've already upgraded the rear tire to a Der Kaiser and have a new front wheel. I may make some other adjustments such as going to front Maguras - but the BB7 is dialed and I have a Hope sitting around too. Definitely new pedals, though. I'm having a hell of a time with the rear Magura mounts not going high enough, so I had to go from Echo TR mounts to the stock ones with the washers. Ghey.

Otherwise, I'm loving it. I was riding a +60 GU before this, and the Meta geo feels pretty similar except lighter on the rear wheel. I don't want to grind the rear wheel, just because it looks stealth, but I'll kill myself if it gets wet.

Thanks to pav for the frame, and props to Tarty for a whole bunch of integral parts. You guys rock!

I really like these in blue! Out of interest what do you use to tension the chain?

this frame have horizontal dropounts, so I think he´s using snail cams

Dont like the front tire...

But the rest looks sweeeet.

What about the angle of the handlebar setup? It seems to be leaned on to front too much, doesn't it?

Thanks for the words. I am using snail cams. I had to make some spacers, because the ones that came with the rear hub were too wide and wanted to have them just in case I decide on going back to vertical dropouts. I love the front tire. I do mostly urban, so it works perfect for me.
