Tanglefoot Moonshiner 29+ SWORD Build

You've landed on the Moonshiner Microshift SWORD 29+ build, with 29 x 3" tires. Ideal for rough terrain where speed is the need.  

Quick note: We don't have pics of this build up yet.  The bike in the pictures is similar but not identical. The parts list below is accurate and indicative of what you will get!

Shred singletrack, devour class 4 roads like they're double stuffed oreos, and conquer epic tours without the custom price tag.  Dig the Tanglefoot Moonshiner 29+ Microshift SWORD 10 speed build. A delectable offering of components that rides like a moist dream and saves you serious dough compared to a full custom build.  This whip is stuffed with solid parts we love and trust, from the buttery-smooth Bitex hubs laced to Velocity Blunt rims to smooth stopping and hyper adjustable TRP Spyre brakes. 

SWORD is Microshift's bike packing groupset, including ergonomic 10 speed levers, a clutch rear mech and a wide 11-48 rear gear spread.  We round out the kit not with generic cranks and questionable bottom brackets, but with a fully nickel plated chain from PYC (who makes chains for the big guys), a SRAM SX Dub crankset and SRAM BB, and super slick stainless cables. 

The stock Moonshiner comes with tubes, unless you choose to upgrade to a tubeless set up, but if you start with tubes and wanna go tubeless down the road, all you need are valves and sealant.  

Sort out your size:

• Grab a buddy and measure your pubic bone height (seriously, this is key!). Do it three times, take the highest number, and slap it in the order comments with your desired bar height (level with saddle, 1" higher, or 2" higher for that relaxed touring vibe). 

• Extra Small Frameset:  76cm to 78cm PBH, rider height from 4'11" to 5'4".

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

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

• Large Frameset: 84cm to 87cm PBH, rider height between 5'11 and 6'1.  

• Extra Large:  88-98 PBH,  Riders between 6'2 and 6'8".

We hand-build every Tanglefoot Moonshiner in our Vermont workshop.  Expect a 30-day turnaround or less, then bam, your new two-wheeled BFF is ready to ship and rip. Shipping is a snap with Bikeflights and full insurance, and your bike will arrive fresh from a test ride, cables nestled in like cozy wee kittens. You just gotta pop on the pedals, bars (pre-wrapped and tilted to perfection, mind you), slap on the front wheel, and bolt those rotors. Slow pokes: this build takes 90 minutes, but quick types can have it ready in 20.  We'll bill the shipping after we build and box and weigh the bike.  It will come as a separate invoice.  You are of course encouraged to come pick the bike up in person at Analog! The system will automatically bill you something for shipping.  We'll invoice you for whatever the difference is.
