Kristofer Carlsted's 69er

I set out to build a replacement for my current single speed, but his time a 69'r, (26" rear, 29" front). The geometry was roughly based on my 1994 Klein Attitude Race, but with a few adjustments to accommodate the rigid 29" front fork. The end product was just what I was looking for, I can't wait to ride it.

DT: 35mm 9-6-9
