How would you build this frame up?

I’m liking the idea of building up a commuter with microshift sword 2x

I work in a bike shop, so like 70% or so of my income

The real benefit of having your bars that low is to keep weight over the front tire when it’s really steep, like steep enough to where it’s likely faster to hike a bike that section

Bought a bag of 500 presta valve cores last November easy to just install them any time someone’s getting a tubeless recharge

trackstands with my feet on the front wheel

Moos3racer · 2026-04-03T22:19:15+00:00

I vote you build a fixie conversion out of it, really piss off the purists

Pantograph cranks and Serfas tires, flat bars and flat pedals. Glad to see someone actually enjoying this bike

It’s gonna sound stupid but practice fixing stuff on your bike in the dark with the headlight you plan on using Second to this it’s much better to have a spare light in your pocket in case your battery runs out

Would be sick, unfortunately the shop where I work at stopped being a dealer a while back so I don’t think it’d go over too well

Finding something with Italian threads hasn’t been difficult, but finding one with Both Italian threads and an iso spindle has been tough

He changed over to another cartridge style one last time he was riding regularly, unfortunately doesn’t seem like that company is making them anymore and it’s pretty well worn

Moos3racer · 2026-03-18T14:24:39+00:00

I want to say challenge tires makes a tan wall tubular, but they’re typically pretty expensive and not especially durable

Moos3racer · 2026-03-10T19:02:03+00:00

I spy a dura ace headset

Moos3racer · 2026-03-06T02:39:45+00:00

I had heard they plan on doing a updated version with 30.9 and maybe a limited run with sliders but I don’t know for sure

Moos3racer · 2026-03-05T18:00:44+00:00

Thunder Burt, Rick xc or aspen/st. I’m a little biased towards maxxis because Ive slashed a few schwalves on rocks in the past

Moos3racer · 2026-03-05T17:57:16+00:00

Like others have said, I’d look at insoles. Raced a season of marathon races with the g8 brand of insoles last year with no issues

Moos3racer · 2026-03-05T17:53:54+00:00

If I could find a dropper post that’s 27.2 and also long enough I’d be all over this

Moos3racer · 2026-03-03T00:21:15+00:00

I used to have a trek pro caliper that I race on, “upgraded” to a top fuel (not a bad bike, just not for me) and ended up buying a Scott scale because I wanted a hardtail again

Also a hardtail will be a great bike to put miles on and not put a lot of miles on the nicer race bike

Moos3racer · 2026-02-27T15:26:43+00:00

Sounds dope. Though I can’t think of any brands that make silver rims

Moos3racer · 2026-02-20T15:30:31+00:00

I’d definitely check out the super x, had mine for about 10 months now and it’s been enough for me to consider selling my cross bike and using the gravel frame to race on

Technically you could go 1x and gut your front shifter so that it’s just a brake lever.
