Might de sticker the rim. Not sure yet. Ive got rim and lyric Slik graphics Stealth stickers but undecided. Feel it needs some colour somewhere. Hated HATED the silver Lyric sticker on the GG Megatrail but it looks fine on this.

Total weight - 15.9kg. With pedals, Cushcore and One up EDC too.

Also had a QC issue with the post mounts on the rear triangle with one of the bolts and surface ending up wonky so the caliper wouldn't bolt on square and the bolt needing dome washers to work. Contacted Deviate and no questions asked they are sending me out a new rear triangle and invisiframe kit. In the mean time I took a file to the wonky post mount and surfaced it myself and made it work. So it's ridable.

Ride report from Melbourne. It does SICK curb drops. The end.
