Hi all,
here’s the first bike I post on the forum 
it’s a simple singlespeed atb/mtb-ish made of Tange Ultimate Superlight for the front triangle, Deda chainstays, 4130 seatstays (assymetric). Build mostly with 2nd hand parts or parts donated by customers, friends etc. It weighs a little more than 10kg as pictured with bags made from reclaimed fabric by local Liège framemaker and friend C.Pouki (https://c-pouki.be/).
Just back from a test loop on the borders of Belgium and the Netherlands, mostly on cyclepaths and smooth rolling gravel/mtb paths!
Stay safe!

Nice bike, very simplistic! I love the asymmetric stays, need to make one like that myself I guess

thanks! first time trying it, not sure if I will do it again but that was fun playing with the bends to have even tire clearance on both sides.

Hmm, I thought the whole Idea of building it like that is not having to faff around with this equal gap stuff any more

It’s an interesting question. I assume the reason Weiss do it is it’s just easier (they weld the stays, which are often Ti, straight into the back of the ST). Then you avoid either having to tack them onto the sides, or to squeeze them both in next to each other in the “shot-in” style which results in difficult access, especially if they are straight and you have a narrow rear spacing (they’re often making fixed gear bikes).
@karmawheels this is a lovely bike and outstanding for a first build.
