Kona Dream Builds: Druces' SlopeDuro Ready Process 134

Chainline Bikes have gone and build yet another genre defying bike for one of their happy customers. Druce's Process 134 is ready for anything, wether its a bit of  Slopestyle, Slalom or Trail.

 

The first thing that strikes you with this build is undoubtedly those Ride5Dev cranks and that crazy CNC'd chain ring (also from 5dDev), they are head turners for sure. they match up with a cable actuated SRAM GX rear mech. Braking comes in the form of a set of SRAM Level brakes.

The dropper post is an Aliexpress classic, the Exaform! Complete with the seat mounted actuation lever. This frees up the cockpit and eliminates all annoying wires and cables.

The handlebar and stem are both from Title MTB, they spin on a Cane Creek Hell Bender 70 headset.

I think only the seat collar remains from the original build, the stock suspension was swapped out for a Rock Shox Lyrik Ultimate up front and Rock Shox Super Deluxe Ultimate out the back. The stock wheels are gone, replaced with some budget 27.5 carbon hoops front and rear. The bike rolls on Maxxis Rekon / Forekaster tires.
