cannondale trail sl5 26” mtb
this is an xl 26” mtb frame that was able to take a 650b wheel in the back and the suspension size corrected steel rigid fork is able to take 650b upfront too, could even go 700c and go mullet but don’t really want to raise the front end anymore
the larger back wheel has raised the bb giving more clearance and changed the geometry a little to give a more modern gravel bike feel than the mtb hardtail feel of a more sloping top tube
single speed with 42:18 ratio
custom paint job by myself
@___punx on insta
a friend drilled holes and welded in mounting points on the fork

Amazing paint job but can’t find you on IG…
That’s straight up sex biking.
The chaos over at r/scorchers would also welcome you I believe. Nice rig
Peak I’d say! Paint job on its own makes this beautifully unique
I’d say so.
I’ve been coming here for a few months and it really seems like this genre of bike is the new Tarck (which I love).
