Word. I will be walking much of this, but I really want to at least get to the point where you can see Lake Currie.

This route was my proudest climb. It was soul destroying. Towards the top, my legs would start cramping whenever I stopped pedaling. The only way to stop it was to get back on the bike and ride.

Soul-destroying, punishing... What is it w/cyclists? We love the pain!
We realize that suffering is good for the soul!
You guys should come out here to do some riding if you have masochistic tendencies. The climbs are short compared to west coast hills but they're extremely technical and will put most riders into the anaerobic zone. Most of the trail pics I've posted are from a system of trails that I describe as "XC riding for masochists" when asked about them.
Oh and speaking of ocean views:
Frame due today, according to FedEx tracking... got a few forks on watch, will give LBS a chance to price match today. Will pop back in w/some specific comparisons(forks). 
NFD. Gonna order an X-Fusion Velvet RL tomorrow, need to lace a 15mm hub into the ex-Scalpel wheel set. Pics tomorrow

Edit#2: Looking into chain adjusters(BMX-style, ala Surly Tugnut)- any recommendations? I like the Surly but it comes as a single piece; I want a pair.

You'd dig it, I'm sure. I gotta throw some old parts on to get it up, but will upgrade down the road: wanna go carbon on bars & seat post, maybe a nice crank.. Parts parts parts
Thought so. I like the drive-side chain stay- looks like there's plenty of room for rings, tires, mud
Yeah , It looks different than the model shown [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
I asked for a little longer chain stay to accomodate a certain ratio/lenght for the Belt , that's probably why they made it that way.
Can't wait to see it "Live"
