    Since @HBkites didn't want to sell his Why S7, I picked up a Kingdom Vendetta X2 :). This is a frame that I got for a smoking deal, so I couldn't be picky about sizing or geometry. Super short 416mm chainstay and fairly long reach for a medium at 443mm.

    Timelapse of the build

    Nice looking rig!

    Is that a Franken- 1up garage bike rack?

    Yes! Someone backed into my rack and bent one side, so it worked out perfectly. Chopped one side short, and suddenly I had the makings of a bike rack.

    Thanks! 64.5d headtube angle makes for a capable downhiller, way more bike than I can handle. Thinking about hitting Whiting+Luge - a first for me on a hardtail.

    In case anyone is interested, here's the site: https://kingdombike.com/
