Another build is coming up

Some time ago I was contacted by a guy who had a few frames he was willing to give away for shipping cost only, witch is a good deal even though shipping unpacked, he didn't want to have any hassle about it, costs quite some money. (approx $120/bike). He was moving, wanted to travel light and was just gonna toss'em away. As time flies I realize that's a no deal. There's a limit of how aggressive I can be towards a person who's actually willing to give away two frames. The big downside is that I've already gotten all the parts needed to make the builds.


Anyways. Now, only a few blocks away, this frame turns out for sale. Me, with no money to spend on bikes for a looong time, or spend on anything else for that matters, ask this person if he's willing to trade it for a pair of wheels (Shimano 7800. Barely used). And that he is!! All the members of the house are exited over getting another bike in the house.






The frame is made by Daccordi for a Norwegan brand (DBS) using SLX tubing.

Joda. Hun vet å verdsette det dog hennes entusiasme ikke alltid vises i den mest konservative form som gledeshyl og ekstatisk dansing rundt i stuen.

Takk så mye. Nå er komponentene satt også på denne. Her blir en del innslag av sort. Bakveksler, setepinne, styre/stem (hvit tape) og friktion skifterne (carbon). Jeg velger å spare vekt med å kjøre 'gammeldags' bremsewire løsning. Muligens rød strømpe.
