  1. When I compare my 24" Inspired with my 26" GU Typhoon the 24" feels heavier on the backwheel but could depend on the heavier fork and different steam and handlebars.
  2. You can aluminse it by spraying lacquer or glue on it and then wrap it with aluminium foil You can anneal it to yellow,brownish yellow,purple and blue and then put a few layers of clearcoat on it to seal the oxidation. For you that don't know what anealing is a heating process to softening hardened metals. And a few metals, in this case steel(iron) builds up an oxide layer that creates an interferens pattern that creates the color and for iron it starts with yellow at about 240ºC and ends with blue at 300ºC. This low temps will not affect the steel structure more then releave some stress in the crystaline structure. But if you do this the best would be if you heated it evenly in an oven. If spot heated it could warp but I don't think that would be noticable but if you want to be safe then go for the oven. Otherwise you can heat it with wathever "clean"(oxy/acetylene burner works) heat source you have. I would like to try this myself but I don't have any steel frames so it would be interesting to see it made.
  3. Don't listen to them, first of all they don't know what metal is and second, they're trial nerds. The first clip fits the music perfect(if you know what metal is) and the riding is good. But a better mix and flow between the trial and BMX style would make it much much better. I'm looking forward to see more videos from you!
  4. I like the song and the riding. But it lackas a little trial riding and it's like BMX in one clip and trial in another. Try to combine the BMX and trial style in one line then it would look much better.

    Najs! Kul med en tråd på svenska också!
  6. I hope you don't mean it "that" way. I have long hair but I'm still a dude you know. Yes it's the custom painted GU. And soon it will have a matching frontweel too. It looks a little wierd now with that weel that is a tubeless XC lightwaight thing.
  7. Nice! I don't download many vids but this one is worth saving.
  8. Thanks! That was my point with it.
  9. Yes, today I have. And it's raining and my arms and legs hurt so no riding today either.
  10. See if you like the new version a little more.
  11. I'm making a new version with a little mix now.
  12. OK, I thought the opposite. I guess that I'm getting old. I like the movies that is not so fast. Jump after jump and you don't get time to reflect about whats happening and then loud and screamy music on that too I'm gonna see what I can to about it till the next one. But I'm not likte every one else
  13. This my first real trial video that I took some time to edit. I was riding alone with my photo camera on a tripod that I've made from a woodblock and a wire so that's why it's a little shaky in the wind. The first jump is exactly 1 meter and it's not high for you guys but it's a new record for me and I feel that I'm improving so I'm happy. Version 1 Version 2
  14. Thanks for the tips. I got them on now. I cut down the wedge, cone, thing... a little with a knife and then with some brute force and hammer I got them all the way in.
  15. One more thing. I would buy so many bikes and just ride them a few days and then sell them for almost nothing so soon everyone has bought a new bike from me for give away prices and everyone would "love" me :king:
  16. The bar end pluggs doesn't fit but I will try to make something. I was riding along a walking road in the woods so that's why the saddle is a little high for trials.
  17. Thanks! Me and a few friends was talking about going on a bike road trip after the summer so we may be go to Gothenburg and Area 51 too. But the first we are going to do is go to Gesunda and ride some Downhill.

    The screen is all black for me. I hear the sounds but can't see anything...?
  19. If I had that much money I would build a big workshop where I could build my own bikes with frames, hubs, sprockets and even the brakes etc. I'm soon a licensed welder and I'm interested in crafting so the only thing that stops me from building my own bike right now is lack of machines, workshop and some money. But in the future I plan on try to build a DH frame to start with and then a chopper frame for my MC.
  20. Ok, back to topic. I finally got some better pictures with some pixel quality.
  21. Haha! This bike is a girl and her name is Kitty. And to all pink dislikers I ask you, do you also dislike girls wearing pink?
  22. The finishing touch! I made this an afternoon. It's made in aluminum to keep the weight down
  23. I usually don't like blue on bikes but this on looked good. I don't know why but it may be the different colors on the brake clamps.
