I want to start off by saying
that this frame is everything I thought it could be and more. I've been trying to promote your business on mtbr.com by
getting your frames listed on their web page because I believe in your products and want your company to be recognized. I
also posted pics of my bike in their SS gallery.
Here's what I built the bike with:
18" IRO Mia! frame
Manitou Black Comp 80/100
(Rigid fork is cut w/ starnut and bearing race for easy swaps)
Shimano Deore Octalink crankset
Blackspire SS Chainring 32t
Shimano BMX cog 18t
SRAM PC-1 SS chain
Avid Speed Dial 7 levers
Avid Straight Jacket cables
Deore mechanical disc brakes
Deore hubs rolling on Mavic 223s
Sette stem, bar, and post
Specialized Durango grips
Aerion Ti-railed seat
IRC Mythos 2.1 tires
Aheadset with carbon spacers
Trusty old clipless pedals
This bike takes me back to my younger days. Back in the day I had a red
Schwinn BMX and my first "real" mountain bike ('95 Trek 930) was made of chromoly steel. The chainstays and seatstays
on the Mia are works of art and the brake mount/dropouts are a snap. The butted head tube is a nice detail and
I love the color. Thanks for making such a great frame for the real enthusiasts.
