This is my second attempt at an aggressive hardtail frame. Designed it around this 170mm ZEB Ultimate. Rides quite nice and isn't too heavy. Slapped a bunch of spare parts on it for now. Probably won't change too much while I test ride it and start figuring out what to improve on for the next version.
Messed up pretty bad with the seat tube. It warped slightly during welding and I can't get the seat post as low as I'd like. Oh well, another thing I know to keep an eye on for the next build.

How did you weld the frame?
Hell yeah. I had a buddy on my Ultimate team that made his from some leftover Reynolds tubing. This looks fantastic! How does she ride?
That’s a gorgeous bike.
That’s wholesome AF, also it has just the proper amount of aggression in the lines. Definitely won’t be mistaken for a gravel bike 👌
Looks great, did you purchase the dropouts/headtube/bb or make them? How hard was making the flat spots on the chainstays?
