Carbon Rattus

[Rossi46]

I haven't seen too many other carbon rides on this site...who's built one?
The bars flipped cafe like this look dope for photos but are wrist killers...I usually ride with them upwards...

Looks fast! havent seen pneumatic shifters in a while. If you could find some hydraulic brakes you could ditch the cables all together! Nice one..

You went there and I love it.

I think you're the FIRST to build one....Very cool bike..

Thanks for the comments fellers!
I like the disc brake idea...Shimano had some 4" XC proto's a while a go...maybe some of those still exist.
Might be tricky finding a fork w/ a disc tab though...maybe a touring fork or something...I'll start digging...dang it - I thought I was done

Magura made hudraulic road bike rim brake sets a while ago. Probably hard to find a set but it would be cheaper than going disc and less invasive to your bike!

hmmmm.... carbon frame with a welded steel handlebar... :?:

From your opening line I thought you had built the frame like this fella:

I don't think carbon fiber would qualify as a rat bike (more adequate for fixie site)... maybe in 20 years? when carbon frames will be found everyday in dumpsters like Schwinn frames. looks nice though!
