This is another one of those bikes you never forget building. I custom painted the linkage and Better Bolts fork top caps with real 24K gold flake and contacted Stikrd to make matching decals for the rest of the bike. Needless to say he knocked it out of the park! The way this thing looks in the sun is insane! As with all my builds it is covered head to toe in Better Bolts titanium hardware and it is the perfect compliment to the stickers and paint job.

Just a few more small things left to do to make this the ultimate "dream build" such as a smashpot coil conversion and a few powder coated touches to really finish the "Blingduro" look.

All in all pretty good, but I think Magura rotors would complete the look. For bling builds I always match the caliper and rotor.

They're pretty good I haven't had any irregular issues.

Just the occasional truing/tightening of the spokes.

I have had a few sets of these rims and have only broken one of them but that was definitely not the rims fault, I don't think there is a rim on the market that would have held up to that type of hit.

As much as I like the MT7 yellow, those calipers stick out like a sore thumb on such a detailed custom build. TRP Evo would have matched the theme nicely. Also, why go with the Bronze groupset and not the gold one?

To each their own. I happened to think the race lines were a nice break from the matchy matchy. Copper cassette was already on the bike and didn’t feel like dropping $600 on a cassette and chain just to switch up the color. When it wears out it’ll get matched. 
 

Also the crank stickers due to the extra thickness could not be printed on metallic material so they have a more bronze look to them which matches the drive train well.

Thanks! This was a update/modification to a bike I have been riding for a little bit so some parts were purchased before the new gold theme was established.

I have been a long time Magura fanboy so MT7 were probably still going to go on the bike however might not have gone with highlighter yellow knowing now the direction the build ended up going. The company I work for makes parts for TRP DHR Evos so these were definitely high on the list but ultimately went with the Racelines.
