Now that's just showing off 
You are missing green, orange and purple.
nice.
Sick
Tyre logos and valves? Otherwise a good effort, grass and brickwork looking good too. 😉
Looks rubbish.
Very Close to my current dream bike! what did it cost?
Shopping around has meant total build was sub £5k which was my budget.
Looks very nice. Just need to fit your pedal reflectors and front and back ones and you're good to go!! 😉
Very very nice obviously! I'm sorry to report that high-rise bars are all the rage now though, sorry, you'll have to scrap the whole bike 🙁
bars are too big and so are the wheels and no doubt eye wateringly expensive, but I wouldn't complain if someone gave me one of those for christmas.
What's the back wheel? can't really see but rotor looks like a CL

Bars are 740mm so not massive.
Wheels are hope pro2 evos on flows (front and rear).
Its like looking into my future.... hopefully. Wonder how long it will be before these frames are available second-hand at a slightly less astronomical price? Currently on a second hand Blur LTc, amazing bike. This is definitely what I plan to ride in a few years. Let us know how you get on with it. Looks great.
tidy. I'd have gone 1x10 myself, with a blue RF thick/thin, but otherwise a nice setup
holy moly thats nice, pure envy apart from it needs a dash of xx1 in its life!
really really nice though
very nice. Now go and get it muddy and scratch it! 🙂
Truly a thing of beauty
Which one of those two bikes was being wheeled around Leisure Lakes last week when I picked up my Soul?? If neither, someone else has just picked one up too!!
😀
Looks nice and it's got me a little bit more excited for my Solo build tomorrow 🙂
Far too nice to go and get all muddy.
pics antares when done please 🙂
currently dreaming of building one of these up, got all the kit to
go on, just need the frame, forks and wheels! and of course money 🙁
Very, very nice. I'm loving my TRc at the mo but if I ever break it a solo (or whatever it's called now) would be top of the replacement list. Or a Bronson if I fancied more travel.
Will do Oscillate.
Just noticed the strange choice of rear mech cable routing. 😯
Needs orange or black rim decals.
Mmmm, hubba hubba.
Sweet bit of kit....almost as pretty as its big sister...... Google rockguards for Santa Cruz etc and get the on that wraps around your BB......if its the same as Tallboy the built in one doesn't cover it.........love SC bigly!!!!

This is the rockguard I got the Ultra model
Pimp your ride & add a custom frame pack:

Beer babe - can you make a downtube protector?
how can you be pleased with it when it has quite clearly never seen a speck of dirt....

well, it's late in the year for the "comment of the year" award, but i think we have a winner
Very very nice. Gettin myself a Santa Cruz next spring, probably won't be able to stretch to a Bronson, it'll be a Heckler for me I think
Willv
Anything is possible. Contact me via the website with details about the model & frame size, & I'll see what I can do: http://www.beerbabe.co.uk/contactus.html

Looks nice
I don't want to think how much it cost, probably get 6 of mine for that
Jam Bo - I had literally just finished putting it together and went for a quick spin round the block to make sure it was all working as intended.
Proper riding to come over the weekend.
What's that funny looking thing you have clamped near the bottom of the seat tube?
have you not seen those threads saying "1x11 is great but sometimes it's a bit much for me so I added a granny ring and when I get to a big hill I can stop and manually swap over the chain by hand". Them new fangled mechanical dooberys can do that for you, while you're moving! ****ing genius!What's that funny looking thing you have clamped near the bottom of the seat tube?
Blimey, whatever will they think of next. Sure it won't be long before we start seeing chainsets with three rings!
Wheel/tyre logos not aligned - have you learned nothing!?
Bars and grips need to be black.
Otherwise...Phwoar!
It's totally not my cup of tea.
But I have to say, it is lovely.
My mates had one for a few weeks, & loves it.
Now get the bloomin thing dirty... 🙂
2x10? In this day and age!
^^^^+1.....1x10 surely?
That is is lurvly...really tempted by a pair of pikes.
Really nice... Thats top of my list!
As promised for Oscillate Wildly. Finished my Solo this aft.

Are you a trials rider? Your brake leavers are almost vertical!
Nice bike.
Wow! Brake lever angle, I didn't expect that as a first comment. My money was on the garage door needing painting 🙂
Niceeeeeee Antares cheers for the pic as promised! Any more close ups of the frame and stuff?
Not yours, the OP 😛antares - Member

Aah right 😳
I'll get some more pics on tomorrow OW, was in a bit of a rush today.
As I stated in the first post this was just after I'd put it together.
Cable routing now changed after looking at some factory put together bikes, bar and controls moved and saddle height now comfortable for me.
Been on two short rides so far plenty more to come and very happy with it regardless of what others may say/think 🙂
Antares - 5010/Solo looks lovely! What travel are your pikes?
They're Revelations mate, and 140mm
Serious Bronson's fellas!
Thinking of a 650B Heckler or possibly an Alu Bronosn - what size forks are you running? 150 or 160?
What your opinions on the Pikes - I will be speccing mine with Solo Air pikes just can't decide 150 or 160
cheers
That's done nothing to diminish my thoughts on buying a solo...
SBrock - I'm running 150mm solo air pikes on my bronson and they're very plush, extremely stiff compared to any single crown fork I've ridden before. No down sides yet. As an added bonus they're also pretty light too.
Bell?
Nice build buddy!
Only one issue -
why high roller up front and ardent on rear, would have thought better other way round IMO?

Thanks, I think 150 will be the sweet spot TBH so gonna order a set of 150mm Pike Solo Airs
OP. What is it? The stickers are not very clear. Maybe get some brighter ones. Nice bike mind
Antares also that a alloy one or carbon? Looks really nice in the flesh if it's the alloy version
Just above rear mech in last photo ,fractured house brick I'd phone a structural engineer immediately could result in death or serious injury!
Even worse the bike is at risk of falling house.

Carbon 🙂
nice, damn im tempted with a alloy one, and if it looked like that then im sold! but doh, had to be the carbon one 🙁 which is way out of my budget unfortunately
some more antares please?
