Thanks!!! I would say the stiffness is right between the Soma Valhalen and the Riff. So far I have been pretty happy with this build. The only thing I would change at this point would be a lower top tube using the seat tube gusset. Just because I like jumping and sometimes my knee hits the top tube when doing table tops.
@@BMXPete well that is fantastic to hear! It looks like you opted for the Reynolds 525 which is a good move probably keeping it more compliant. I have got a custom one on order from Axial in Canon City CO. So pumped.
Nicee, what color palette number (silver) was the large frame from your previous video? How long did it take from order form submission to receiving the frame? Thankss
The silver one is not powder coated it is raw steel. It took about 4 months for them to complete the frames after the design was finalized. I think they just did me a favor on the raw one as you will notice on their website it says raw is not an option. It does take about two weeks for them to get through customs and delivered.
El mejor cuadro MARINO ! ❤
Thanks for sharing this! Your bike looks great. Love the color choice too!
Thanks for watching! I am pretty happy with the color myself. This bike has since been named Purple Rain.
Awesome looking bike👍Nice choice in components as well..
Thanks, It has been super fun so far!!!
Awesome looking bike Pete. Man if I lived closer I would take that Soma off your hands!
Road trip!! 😂
@@BMXPete haha. I really would like a Soma Juice preferably
Sweet frame, build and mech skills.
Thanks, much appreciated!
Sweet ride! I'm interested to hear how the stiffness compared to the Riff or other steel hardtails you've ridden!
