View fullsize I recently finished up this hardtail for myself, it's been on the back burner for a while so it's great to see it done. It's a mixture of tubing, with a rear end from @columbus_official zona and a @reynoldstechnology 853DZB front triangle. I love wor

View fullsize I built these matching fixed gear frames for some friends about a year ago. They're mostly @columbus_official spirit and life tubing. We also opted to build the smaller frame around 650c wheels to make the geometry more suitable for a smaller rider.
