I saw Nate's pink bike while he was building it around the same time as mine. Like the Bike Radar article suggests, the pictures don't begin to capture the beauty of the actual bike.
Nate, you've built quite a few adventure/cross bikes lately. I can't wait to see the tiny one with paint.
Another 50+ mile ride on mine this weekend.

Very blue!
Can we get a side shot of that, Nate? Looks like it might be pretty close to what I have in mind.
Maybe this FNL or next week. Every time I try to get some "outdoor" studio shots the clouds with storms roll in!

The builder makes the frame, not the jig.
These recent fade paint jobs are sweet!!

Just some fillet shots, I know seen one saw them all. Just proud of my progression to get to this level.
I can definitely appreciate those fillets! I have enjoyed watching you always produce some great bikes. Keep up the great work!Quote:

Thanks Darrel! Same to you, knocking it out of the park with that gold one.
Love that mtb!

unreal paint work.
Damn, Nate.
Interested in hearing your thoughts on the Valor rims, and their long term durability. A rim designed to flex radially, like all the new Stan's carbon rims, is really really bad for spoke life. Early reports I've seen on MTBR, it doesn't seem to take that long before spokes start breaking. But it's hard to get good info, seems like there's not too many of those out in the world, and most who do have them have some sort of sponsorship deal thru a shop, so they're probably a bit reluctant to talk about any issues.
