Custom steel 29er

slimjoe · Jan 26, 2015

I've had this since last May. Built by my colleague to my specs, ideas & dimensions. Tubing is mainly Columbus including their 29er stays. Top tube is 853 for a bit of strength. Rear dropouts are Paragon machine works. Latest Build shows it with Whiskey carbon forks and Blackwall tyres. First build has Onza Canis amberwall tyres, X fusion forks and Ritchey Wcs controls.

Thanks to Gil for making the vinyl panels.

I like it. Not a fan of amberwalls and hence i think it looks better with the black walls.

Agreed on black walls

Got any more pics. Any close ups? Looks tidy!

Here's a few of it in the raw! Not had much chance to do any decent close ups... Too busy riding it :facepalm:

Looks a quality job, very nice indeed. Seems plenty of clearance as well.

Really like it. Who was the builder?

Re: 29er

Thanks mate. The builder is Andy Robinson. He builds under Creative Metalworks and builds custom frames for hewitt cycles.

It took a bit of persuasion to get those stays to give some extra room.

Love it. Those dropouts are a thing of beauty!

Yes I love Paragon stuff... It's great.

The seat stay bridge is stainless steel, bottle bosses are blind eye sealed type. Head tube is a tapered type by Columbus. Andy worked his magic on this frame.

Another bonus is the ride! Very comfortable and pretty nimble for a 29er.

Very nice and totally unique.

beautiful. Kudos for putting gears onto it and not making me swear because I put my effort into opening a page to see a sigle speed in it!

love the seatstays bridge. Just out of curiosity. How do those skinwall Onzas perform? Did you convert them to tubeless?
