Finally got the chance to build myself a drop bar hardtail… it was trickier than I thought it would be lmao (mostly because of brakes and fit) It's a rocket ship and I can't wait for it's maiden voyage

Damn yall just get an accidental cat pic I guess
Looks smart dude good work
Nice work. I’ve been debating going with that Trek fork or the Salsa Firestarter for a similar XC Hardtail to Dropbar.
Back to the days of “cat tax” on picture heavy posts. Good job
That looks like a fun ride!
I did this to a S-Works Epic HT as an alternative to my Crux for adventure racing. It performs on gravel sections much better than I anticipated.
This is awesome. You’re probably about 3 years ahead of the current gravel market haha by 2028, this will be the new Checkpoint
Fun build. I saw Gen 1 Procal frames on mega clearance and had a similar idea. Vallnords roll terribly even though they look fast. Peyote or Thunder Burt could be some good fast rolling options. Enjoy the bike!
What chainring size is that? I’m guessing if it’s less than 38t you’re gonna want to bump it up.
Please cut your steer tube.
