Just a big thanks to J.Russ / Sabrosa Cycles for the wool Jersey I received 10 days ago.
It's perfect to keep me warm while I commute in the morning. Just don't ask him
one, as I don't think he will order a new batch ! ;-)

Fresh news
Par Francois le mardi 13 mars 2007, 16:33
Hi !
I couldn't find a lot of time for framebuilding during the last days, but I was
still able to braze a stem. Now I need one or two hours to file the fillets and
I'll be able to add the bindings !
I also placed a big order at Nova... I should have enough tubes to build one
light/disc-only 29er, another 29er (perhaps with a retro double top-tube style)
and a cyclo-cross/commuting bike (in Tange Prestige...). I also took a lot of
little parts, dropouts, fork tubes, etc...
I'll try to post some pictures of the stem as soon as it's cleaned
up.

Vincent from Twentyniner.fr asked me a few "outside" pictures, here they are
! In fact I just add a few minutes to find a good spot before sunset !

29er pics

Hi all,
Here are some pictures of the 29er fully assembled. It was hard to take full
pictures of the bike as my workshop is really too small ! ;-)

Components list
Par Francois le lundi 19 février 2007, 14:14
Hi all !
I spent my Sunday afternoon building the 29er. Of course, one stupid thing was
missing: I only had one brake cable in stock... So the build should be finished
this evening (I also need to cut the fork steerer).
Here is the components list:
- Wheels: Mavic A719, Hope Pro II SS Hubs, DT SuperComp laced 32x3, Maxxis
Ignitor tires
- RS Reba Race fork
- Deore XT Hollowtech II Crankset & BB
- Salsa Chainring 32T
- On-One Groove Armada SS cog 20T.
- Thomson Elite Seatpost 27.2 x 410
- Flite Saddle
- Race Face Stem 100mm x 5deg. (should be replaced by home made 110mm
stem)
- On-One Mary bar
- Ritchey scuzzy logic Headset (looking for a Hope to replace
it...)
- XTR levers and V-Brake (rear), Avid BB7 (front)
I hope to have some pictures of the complete package by tomorrow !

Tools...

Hi all,
Good news, I should receive my Cyclus head-tube reamer very soon. I also
received my Reba-Race fork.
Everything else is in stock, so I should be able to get everything together soon !

First pics...
Par Francois le vendredi 2 février 2007, 23:06
Hi !
Here are the first pics of my first 29er frame, including pics of the
stainless steel plates I added to the track dropouts. As you can see it still
needs a little bit of cleanup...
I'm still waiting for my headset reamer and front fork (a Reba) to be able
to test it before painting.

First post !

Welcome to the Edelbikes blog !
For those who don't know me, I'm a new frame builder based in the French Alps,
in Grenoble.
I hope to have some pictures of the first frame soon. It's a single-speed 29er,
fillet-brazed with a mix of Columbus and deda tubing...
