Sweet hybrid but no eyelets (nor bottle bosses??) is a bit meh.

Tire hot patch not lined up with valve stem(but clearly intentionally placed, maybe it looks OK this way but I don’t make the rules), back rim has logo sticker but front doesn’t, cable donuts could be better spaced out.

I do like how the larger cogs being black helps them visually disappear a bit.

Just needs a disc low trail fork and track ends

Same.

No bottle bosses is bad ass.

I used to do the hot patch opposite the stem sometimes too. Kinda like it actually.

Also, canti brakes on a bike in 2026? Related, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the housing for the rear one routed on the drive side…

Re: donuts, how many are you supposed to have on the top tube cable traditionally? I have 3 right now and it doesn’t seem excessive but my gut tells me it might be.

I’ve always used three. Two to ensure the cable’s entrance/exit from the housing is smooth and hold it away from the frame, then one in the middle to primarily stop the rattling.
