So after having my 456 stolen a few weeks ago I've been dying to get back on a bike so with the help from a friend we've put together this and think we've done a decent job..

Titus El Guapo 29r frame
Shimano SLX M7000 Groupset
WTB ST I25 TCS Rim On El Guapo Rattlesnake Hubs
Rockshox sektor gold 29" solo air forks
Fox float RL
Ancho Riser bars
Charge saddle
El Guapo seatpost

And many other little bits.

I'm still on the lookout for my stolen 456.

Well done Andy, looking good - I could do with your feedback on the wheels as I am considering the 27.5 version - did you weight them and if so did they match the description in that respect ? Do they appear well built ?

Hi mate. Sorry I didn't weight the wheels but they feel of good quality.

Good to know - cheers Andy - are they delivered with the original tubeless tapes ?

The wheels didn't come with tube tape unfortunately. That was something that was a surprise.

I guess they build them in house so need access to the spoke holes but then discard the tapes or sell them on.

Lol, help from a friend
😆

Rims are tubeless ready, I took the bike on a shakedown last week and the wheels stood up to my abuse.
