Tanglefoot Hardtack Rival/GX Build

Wanna Tanglefoot Hardtack but don't need to pick out every last detail?  We've put together a tight build that saves hundreds of dollars off a custom Hardtack. Every bit of this bike is stuff we ride and like.  No filler, no fluff.  It's even got our favorite 12 speed mod from Ratio Technology, so you can have a quick pavement gear and a super low off road touring gear.  

Three wheel options: 27.5 Velocity Blunt 35 rims with 2.6" Continental Cross King Pure Grip tires, 29" Velocity Aero rims with Continental Dubnital 29 x 2.2 tires or 29" Velocity Aero rims with Panaracer Gravel King SK 50mm tires.  

Spec highlights include Bitex hubs laced to Velocity rims, Paul Klamper brakes, a Discord stem and a GX / Rival SRAM 12 speed drivetrain.  Plenty of other stuff to love on there too.  More specs when you scroll down.

How it works:  Have a friend help measure your pubic bone height.  THIS IS CRUCIAL.  Do the measurement 3 times, and take the highest of the 3 numbers.  Please put your PBH in the order comments!  Also put your desired bar height in: top of bars level with saddle (very aggressive fit), 1" higher (standard fit) or 2" higher (touring, relaxed fit).

Extra Small Frameset:  76cm to 78cm PBH, rider height from 5' to 5'4".  

Small frameset:  77-80cm PBH, rider height 5'4" to 5'8".   C

Medium Frameset:  80cm to 84cm PBH, rider height 5'8 to 5'11".  

Bikes are assembled to order.  Generally factor 2-4 weeks for us to build it.  

Shipping is invoiced after we have boxed and weighed the bike.  We ship via bikeflights with full insurance. 

The bike will arrive having been test ridden, with cables pre bedded in.  You will have to install the pedals, bars (which will be preset up and wrapped, optimal tilt noted so it will be a snap to install), put the front wheel on and bolt on the rotors.  Slow poke mechanics will be at it for 45 minutes, reasonably fast folks could have the bike ready in 15 minutes.  All assembly and packing is done at Analog by Mark.
