Luke Rainbird Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Be nice to see the whole bike... Looks nice from what I can see though, even if it is long, low and silver... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 Looks like your chain's loose?As nice as close up's of your bar-end are, i'd like to see the full bike in one pic too.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted March 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 full bike pic up, cheers mr cal.endohopper: it's a fresh products tensioner, with some spacers i got custom made for my surly cog.. the chain was a bit loose yeah, but was fixed. i've had better tensioners to be honest, this keeps slacking off after a while.

reine Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Your bike is too nice Robert I'm coming down there to steel it some night so bewaaaare! If I would complain which is always fun I'd change the fork, I'm not that fond of those kinds. How do you like the Big betty? Thinking about getting one when my minion is finito cause it's much lighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janson Posted March 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Hi,I like cousts (thats y ive got one) but i dont like the stickers or the whole spec of that bike to be honest.Clarkylol it's like the perfect spec. err yeah i know that the forks are ugly, but they're working pretty nicely. i'd like something silver and curved like echo forks, but my urbans were creaky bastards. the 'betty is pretty nice. taller and lighter than maxxis, but still very very grippy. i like it lots.

Either that or clamp your rear wheel like a b*****d, seems to have kept mine in the same place even wghen i land on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe b Posted March 24, 2006 Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Looks sweet. I love the custom stickers. What is that bash. Janson styleee custom job?Cheers,Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted March 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 i can't use up-tension on it, tried with both 18:15 and 16:14, just won't.The bash is indeed a janson one-off. Made it last summer, works really well.. Hard anodised too! the thing is, i've had this frame for 18-20 months or something now. I love it to bits but i think i'm getting bored of it. i guess it'll crack soon anyway.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janson Posted March 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Dunno. Ashton? Nah i seriously have no clue. Well, basically, I don't want anything over 1100, preferrably little or no bb rise, and something not produced by deng. But I'm planning on keeping her forever, makes it easier.

Walleee Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 The wee cable ties on the back wheel? the're purely for decorative purposes right? I actually kinda like 'em....I do like the bike as a whole though, coust's are the original long low and silver as far as im concerned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted March 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2006 Zip ties, like soldering wire around the spoke crosses, theoretically makes the wheel stiffer. These just snap if they're stressed much, so I put them on just for a laugh. They're the same colours and order as the UCI banners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted April 1, 2006 Report Share Posted April 1, 2006 just a technical remark over here, don't you think that the loose chain is wasting all those engagement points you have in the king? keep it tight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mat hudson Posted April 2, 2006 Report Share Posted April 2, 2006 long? low? little bb rise? why that would be a t-rex sir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted April 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 The chain was tightened after the pictures were taken. It pwns all rex frames. Hasn't got the hideous headtube gusset thing you know, and the horrible paint job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
