that looks very nice!

did you spec the frame yourself?

Yup, all my own work, including frame geo, huzzah! It's basically a downhill bike minus the rear suspension :)

Kowa's are awesome forks. I'm lucky enough to have 2 of them hehe.
How does it work that one?

Just been reading the links on your website earlier and that was the first I had heard of Kowa :cool:

Who built this hardtail frame? UK Builder? Why no name attached is it a secret?

Looks good, almost too good, hard to make the lines out with the white glow on the pictures!
 
It was built by a UK framebuilder, Rick Kent via Caygill Cycles In North Yorkshire, he's now retired though. The Kowa's track amazingly well....however they do need a top up of air after you've not been on the bike for a while.
