Well, Friday was new frame day. So shiny 😀

Saturday was build day. Used mostly existing parts but needed a new boost rear wheel and crank.

Today was ride day.

Very happy with how it rides. I'll probably add a dropper remote with internal routing so I can use my spesh post and will switch to my black pedals.
The frame came with a carbon fork so I expect in the summer I'll pick up some plus wheels/tyres to experiment.
In other news if anyone's after a large steel hardtail I'll be listing my Genesis High Latitude soon, once I've cleaned it up.
Is that a Tarn without the rigid fork? Looks very nice!
Good colour match with your yucca.
Very nice that, mudguards excepted obvs.
Your background mountains want demisting.
Lovely looking frame!
Great frame. Just surprised you didn't consider a Boost adaptor for the existing rear wheel as this would have also meant keeping non-boost cranks.
It is indeed a Tarn! Always liked the look of them so decided to go for it.
The yucca is currently wrapped in fairy lights hence its dazzling greenness. I should have sorted that out and tidied my socks away before the big build.
I find mudguards essential in the winter round here despite their offence on the eye. The hills should be demisted around May-June.
I've not read much about boost kits, but what I had sounded a bit complicated. I wasn't aware it would have worked with non-boost cranks. Thankfully the cranks, chainring and BB were rather cheap (Ribble). My existing wheels are a bit narrow to so happy to upgrade to something wider.
neat.
neat area as well.
Cheers!

Nice work. You could do with a shoe rack though, and a Yucca is a poor substitute for a woodburner in STW terms.
I certainly do need a shoe rack. I've got a couple of pallets to make one, so that will happen sometime never.
No wood burner as I've got an open fire in the living room. I liked fire before it was cool 8) and all the heat from my smokeless coal goes straight up the chimney so it's even more wasteful!
