Additional Info
Heavily inspired by @Kirkt's (much fancier) Engin cycles frankenbike. I got this frame off pinkbike locally to try out a pinion gearbox, and I love it but I just found I only really ride my spitfire for actual mountain biking. Had been wanting to do this project for a while, and then a set of TRP hylex brakes popped up for sale used and I figured that was a sign to go for it. Idk how long it'll last, the use case for this bike is pretty niche, but for now it's pretty fun. Almost always the most interesting bike in the room at any given time. ALSO trying out a Wren fork right now, Intend and Bright racing forks were a bit out of my price range, but this was much more reasonable. so far the damper seems pretty good, weight is extremely reasonable, airspring is a bit wonky but I haven't had the chance to toy with it too much, or pull it out and look at it yet, so I shouldn't make any harsh judgements.
