Alex Donnachie Inspired BSD ALVX Custom 🌧️

An overcast day in Brisbane, so we spent it in the workshop building up this Alex Donnachie inspired BSD custom for Nathan, a local rider. It's built around Alex's own signature frame, the BSD ALVX AF+ in Electric Blue, with a black parts kit so the blue does the talking.

The ALVX AF+ runs a short 12.5" rear end with invest cast dropouts, and this one has a 21" top tube. We slammed the back wheel all the way in, where BSD's built-in chain tensioners hold it in place.
Up front it's a BSD Dust fork with a 26mm offset, a Highriser integrated headset and the Tweeker front load stem, with the bars cut down an inch each side.
The wheels are Eclat Bondi straight-wall rims at both ends: a Cortex OS front hub and a Shift 9T freecoaster out back. They roll on Cult x Vans Wafflecup tyres in 2.4" with Odyssey Air Supply tubes, and four Eclat Venom pegs mean it's ready for anything.
The drivetrain is Eclat Tibia XLT cranks in 160mm on a Family Mid bottom bracket, a 27T BSD Guard sprocket and a Shadow Interlock V2 chain. Cinema Tilt pedals and an Odyssey Broc Pivotal seat on a 300mm BSD Blitzed post finish it off.
