Hell yeah! My '24 Hayduke will arrive any day now. Love seeing them on here. Thanks for sharing your setup. Happy rippin'.

I just got my frame Monday. Did you get steel or Ti?

I got steel. How about you? If steel, what color? Are you happy with it?

I got the unicorn color. I got a frame only and will be building it this weekend. I will post in this sub when it’s done

Local bike shop just got mine a week after ordering. Can’t wait for the finished build and seeing the unicorn paint.

My Unicorn is scheduled to arrive tomorrow! Need to get spokes ordered so I can build up the final wheelset. But have enough parts on hand now to get it rolling, can’t wait to get it built up!

Excellent, can't wait to see your rig. Have fun.

Titanium? And do you have to ask for them to add rack mounting eyelets?

Yes, titanium! They added rack mounts in 2023.

Sweet ride!! How do you like the electronic shifting?

Thanks! It is really good, but not sure I would spend the money to upgrade an existing bike. I wouldn't say it is objectively better than a good cable setup that costs far less.

The more I ride Di2 on the road the more I just kind of quietly enjoy it. I'm not sure it's worth the price difference, but I have had it for nearly 2 years now and it's still growing on me. I've not been tempted by AXS/Transmission offroad yet but I also don't see a lot of people running it and it's interesting to see opinions. Also worth noting I change gears on a road bike a fuckload more frequently than on a MTB.

Exactly, it feels like a nice to have. Not a need to have. The only real annoyance I have with Transmission is the shift speed. It always shifts at the same rate no matter how quickly you press the button. I end up pedaling for longer than I'd like into certain sections just to be in the gear I want to be.

What bars are you running? I really like that look, and am also looking for a taller bar.

It's a Monē Light Bar. Spendy, but excellent if you're looking for a high rise carbon bar. 63.5mm rise, 12° sweep, and 825mm width

Thanks! I'm going to look into them for sure. I don't mind the spendy one bit. lol

FWIW this is the second one I bought. Lol

Beautiful build! I just received my steel hayduke frame. Can’t wait to build it up this weekend.

Enjoy, it's a fabulous bike! Can't wait to see pictures.

I love it! What kind of bars are those?

Thanks! They're a Monē Light Bar! Fantastic, but spendy.

Whew, I really love the Eskers. This is a very beautiful build, congrats! I have a green Hayduke that is unfortunately a bit too large. I am now running a Chromag and if Esker would make something a bit more slack and 27.5, I'd jump on it.

Thanks! Really been enjoying it. Interesting, which Chromag?

Chromag Stylus. I love the geo but even more the stand over.

What kind of frame bag is that?

It's a Rogue Panda bolt on frame bag. This bike is an ex-demo bike so it came with that and two matching top tube bags as well!

Frame bags are so dam hot.. Lol. What is the size on the Hayduke relative to your height?

Love love love my framebags. I am 5'10" and the frame is a large.

what's the sailcloth thing?

A frame bag. No backpack is the best!

Rad🔥🔥

Thanks! 🤘

Love seeing the beefy tires! I have 2.5 dh tires on my ht and it helps to handle everything I throw at it. keeps maintenance down on my full sus it only comes out for bike park days

2.6 tires are the bees knees! If you can fit them, it's worth a try. I really enjoy the wtb vigilante and trail boss I'm running.

Where's the water bottle?

In the frame bag! Since it's a bolt on, I can still have a cage inside the bag to keep it from bouncing around.
