Hello Bitches!

I bought some butt pads from Amazon, and now I can ride my hardtail without my ass hurting. I have been riding my On One hardtail, and it's really a joy. I have wanted to make some upgrades, but the frame will not fit it. I wanted to add a dropper post and an 11 spd drivetrain. I looked at many options, like getting another One Up 456 Evo, or a One Up 45650 Evo, or a Commencal Steel hardtail, but I ended up with a Production Privee Shan.

I have all the parts, but to save myself space, I ordered all 269mm spokes, and it turns out I should have ordered 2 different sizes. I ordered the correct spokes and am waiting for them to arrive. So, my build is stuck at this stage.


The Old 456 that I gave to my sister.

Porsche Racing Gulf colors? That thing must be fast! :wink:

Looks like a lot of fun. I'd never heard of Production Privee, and I suspect most in the US have not either. How'd you become aware of, and zero in on that brand?

Yeah, Productin Privee makes 500 in Porsche 917 colors.
I have always owned a hardtail bike, but didn't ride them much until recently when I bought padded underwear. I saw the Production Privee on a pinkbike video a few years back, and I wanted it. This video,

http://www.pinkbike.com/video/288199/

When I was looking for a new hardtail build, I was looking at all of the steel frames available around the $500 mark. My final choice was between the Commencal Hardtail and this fame.
Here is the commencal

I found the Production Privee Shan on Pinkbike for $525, and the commencal had a 20 day waiting list. I bought the Production Privee.

Why only 30mm rims?? That should be running 35mm at least.


I rescind my comment as I see they are 30 internal vs 30 external.
