Daughter turned 13 today (I figure that puts me in my mid 20s somewhere?) and as per my previous wanted ad, I got her a Titus "el guapo" frame. I had a few bits lying around, and thanks to a few burners I've managed to piece the rest together.
Frame - 2011(?) Titus el guapo 155mm
Shock - monarch plus
Forks - fox 36 talas 160mm
Wheels - dtswiss ex500 on Kore rear hub and ?? Front
Brakes - old xt calipers with slightly less old deore levers and super purty cables
Driveline - xt 11sp, old race face cranks
Such a wicked looking bike and super tempting to chuck some extra air in the suspension and take it for a spin.
...and I made her put it together. Watched every step, helped torque bolts up properly (first time that torque wrench has been used I think ), laughed when she put the caliper adapter on the outside of the is tabs. Quality time.
Thanks everyone that supplied bits at short notice, she's super chuffed. skipped lunch to finish it so she could give it a test run even.
