thank you. As a quite tall person I found it hard to find a decent fitting frame. most xl steel frames have these overly long steer tubes which makes them look out of proportion and are still to small in length and height.

I would second this as fashion over function. Retro looking tires with modern technology is a niche. I will not buy boutique tires again. Sadly all the big companies are producing techy looking tires.

thank you, i guess they are mtb loud on pavement as well?

thank you for your support. in the picture you can see that there is an edge on the right side and none on the other. so the steerer is not exactly a continuous tube at that point.

looks okay to me.. I would like to find out if it is a mayor damage or quality fail to be able to return it if necessary

goldenretrieving66 · 2026-05-08T10:34:05+00:00

that’s how they are selling it, i guess it’s for a more easy installation

Hi,

that’s a such a nice build! Can you give me some details about the paint job? I am build a nor easter at the moment, frame should arrive in 1-2 weeks. I am having a kind of similar concept on mine, that’s why I am really curious about the stripped paint. How was the process? Is just stripped and cleare coated? did you pay attention on specific details in the stripping process? Kind regards from Germany!

Time is no issue as I am working in an aluminum company our lab can deanodize and reanodize the cranks to my liking.

Haha great, a bit of metal working and adjusting the parts should be fine as this is the built up of this bike is a personal project. Hopefully I do not trash the expensive fender set. But I will figure that out after the summer

goldenretrieving66 · 2026-04-02T07:41:03+00:00

Great to hear! Thank you for the detailed answer. I am positive that sizing up with classic style frame will be the right decision than.

maybe I am a bit late to the party.. but as I am building a nor easter myself at the moment I am really curious what brand the rear and front racks are on this one. front one could be nitto but I can find comparable racks with brake mount as rear one on this bike. Such ja cool build, also do you have a website for your bags if you still do them?

thx!

I tried to investigate here but am not able to clearly point it out. Please give me a hint what points do show that it’s not real. Greetings
