  1. She might not even like riding. If i was andy I'd tell her to f**k off if she asked for hopes. He probably paid for the bike anyway, lol.

    Actually 90% of it was made from old parts lying around in my garage (yes I'm a hoarder, still got far too much clogging up the garage). The rest we got dirt cheap from forum members / friends.

  2. You would think the amount of money you spend on them frames that they would be abit stronger.

    Judging by the crator of a dent in the downtube, I think most cheaper alternatives may struggle in those circumstances.

  3. Yea I gave up with my rear disc as it rubbed ridiculous amounts, no matter how far I shimmed the calliper.

    I also found that the rotor hit against the frame, so there was one a few positions that you can place the wheel.

    Also likely to crack around the seat tube, where the weird tangly bits of metal are, I think they are designed to be there to crack as a stress point, as apposed to the frame crack in a more serious location.

    Been tinkering around with the rear profile, and managed to get the rotor far enough away from the frame, but had to shim the caliper a bit.

    Should be ok, chain lines a bit shabby though. Need to sort out the cranks / bash / sprocket combo, add in some more spacers to make the chain line better.

    And Dave, yes I know. I'm really not digging the jewish racing gold. WIll be sprayed soon enough.

  4. The resident bike whore returns...

    Picked this up at the weekend, first impressions are really good, aside from a few design flaws. Few tweaks still required, but all good so far.

  5. It was the Atomz Premier 20" full build. Had the Atomz bolt through forks with a standard non disc Atomz hub. I thought about cutting the axel down, but it then meant if I ever changed my forks, the wheel would be useless.

    Had to wrench the forks apart so far and almost smack the wheel to get it to go in. Wasn't fun when you had front HS33 as well!

  6. I thought the front wheel that came with my Premier 20" was wrong! I had to pull the forks apart really far to get the wheel in / out.

    Ended up grinding the dropouts down so I could just about squeeze the wheel in. Glad it wasn't just me being stupid.
