Hi I couldn't find any contact email info on your website, so I figured I'd reach you through your blog. It's regarding the custom DMR Trailstar with 700c tires. Looking to replace my track bike with a laid back road/SS hybrid. Most options in the US market is BLAH..ran into your site and was blown away by the DMR custom build. Wondering what was the overall performance and weight? Did it meet all your expectations? How is the rear hub set up? I would love to build one and need some expertise on the set up.
Hi there! I'm happy to hear you liked my bike :)...overall performance of the bike is really good, but it's not a light bike... My idea was to create something I can use on-road and off-road just simply by swapping wheelset from 700 to 26" with knobbly tyres. Rear hub I'm using is DMR revolver SS. If you are looking for something rather light than there are some interesting frames on the market that come with horizontal dropouts so you can run them singlespeed. I can recommend Genesis IO and On-One Inbred, but don't know if you can get them easly in the US.
