A new Element

If i was to go full suspension, it would be with one of these Rocky Mountain designs. I love that it still looks like a bicycle. Watching with interest

I think it's the best definition I've ever heard, very well described.
I'll add it to my book of famous quotes.

It's certainly not very light, but it's beautiful, and it's hard to find a better project than this one.
The saddle is a Saevid, the first one I bought, I think around 2004 or so. It had a broken stem, but my kids gave me the repair for Father's Day (I was really excited about it). It's important for me to be able to ride this saddle, because it's my favorite. If I want to use the bike frequently, I have no other option.

The wheel skewers are clear, Tune. I have no doubts about it.

The Ace 11/28 cassette (I installed a small 20-tooth chainring), and it's a cross-country bike, not an enduro bike or anything like that.

And that's all there is to it: some Middleburn grease nipples (that invention is incredibly good, especially if you use Grip Shift), Time Attack carbon Ti pedals, in their XS version, older than the current XC ones.

To start making it I will use the old wheels, making new ones always makes me a bit lazy
