here is another ALUMAX ALUMINUS MAXIMUS custom customer build for you with the standard fork. First “flat bar” build. Customer suggested the Crust Loose Bar by nitto. happened to have one in the bar bin already, so that went well. it is my size and all, so I’ve gotten to ride it around to test various bolt tightness — and I gotta say i like the bars. fun to think with these 700×45 Rosé rubbers, that this is a verrrry capable fast and comfy off roader, especially with those chonky velocity cliffhanger rims.

I have my own little way of adding a “clutch” to these old derailleurs. its just enough generally. Luckily these frames have that little fender mount tucked away on the seat stays to anchor the “clutch spring”. Gearing is 29-44 up front and 11-34 in the rear. 9 speed.

couldn’t help adding some heat ano to the post. tired for cheetah spots.

okay I have 2 more custom builds nearly done in the queue coming up!
