I’m approaching 20 years of bike building but I’m still finding new things I haven’t done (or rarely do) to keep it fun. Chip’s bike was a first for me on a few fronts and I’m psyched with the final result! Is it a mountain bike? Maybe? It depends who you ask. It can definitely go a lot of places. Thru axles, discs, 29”x2.2”, electronic shifting, high BB, etc. The Anthracite Gray metallic paint makes the bike look pretty mean and I dig it! I don’t know how many of these 29ers I’ll be doing in the future but it’s nice to mix them in from time to time. I was pleased at how the clearances worked out on this one. I’ve learned to trust the Bikecad drawing and it always works out!
