Hi Nate.
How do you lead the gear wires through the bottom bracket?
Beautiful seatstays BTW :D
Nate, that paint makes my paint jealous! Just beautiful!
Officially started practicing aluminum Tig welding. First session.

Absolutly beatiful frames and I dont usually look at road frames at all. Keep up the good work!
That last frameset is pure Zukas, I would recognize it miles away, good stuff Nate, you're making it your way all around
How do you like this ritchey combo ? Is there a way to hold the garmin upfront with it ?
I don't think the Ritchey Monocurve has the mounting holes, but I think the Solostreem does. Looking at the specs I think I'd love this setup.

Nice, this must be new because I cannot recall seeing this one before.
The prism paint on Nate's new personal ride is crazy cool, photos don't do it justice.

That paint! Love the fade and splatter.

So awesome Nate. Is this by chance for yourself, looks like about your size, but it's hard to tell from the interweb-only perspective. Can you say annything more about the design choices, i.e., why the short front center and low bb, etc.?
Thanks Andy! Yes it is. Being 5'7" twenty niners are a tough fit. A 650b would be ideal but most of the trails here are fast and flowy, so the bigger wheels are definitely faster. Every stock size felt like Iwas higher of of the ground and the front to center being so long made the tire plow through the turns. Pretty bad especially in the loose stuff. So I thought what if I could have the same crank height, tire contact points as a 650b but with the big wheel advantages. After some designing I figured out the geometry that matches the 650b wheelbase and crank height without any toe overlap and no pedal striking especially through minor rock gardens. The best part has been the flickable handling dsspite the bigger wheels. The front end is very low beacause of my fit and really puts the weight on that front tires contact patch. That with the lower BB drop it rails turns! I have such a need for a big saddle to bar drop that I used a straight steerer fork fearing that a tapered steerer would not have the room for a stem to clamp onto to! The short wheelbase helps with the low BB over rollers as well for crank strike. Kinda like a small truck going over a hump compared to a tractor trailer that hits in the middle. This by far has been the single most effective design for myself!
I take it that as an XC machine you're forgoing a dropper post. Any reason not to do one of your ISP deals?
