Cos you're a willy.

Can't believe I just read that.

For £500 you could build a perfect bmx. My last 2 builds have been under £600. And they include ti spokes, ti bolts all over, profile hubs and cranks etc.

Lol, takes more than just riding at a ramp. Depends if he wants to ride "street trials" or trials.

Although paint comes in lots of colours.

4wd? Or handbraking into corners and hope it works? Car looks as though it hasn't been setup for drifting.

I looked on a dolan spec thing and doesn't say shell width. I've built a fair few wheels. Always built mine before. Will do it, just working out spokes is effort as I cba measuring it all aha. That gap tells me it'd be easy to get a brake to fit. Agree? Also, if I do ever decide to fit gears is there a cassette hub with the right spacing to fit in the dolan (120mm?) and is there some sort of adaptor you can fit to the frame so it has a hanger?

They look 3x to me. I'll probably get those sram s100 like you have as they're fairly cheap new. What bb size would I need with the dolan? and what arm length? I know it's personal preferance but 175 is what I always ran on my bikes, so guessing that would be best with 48-16? can also buy new chain rings for the front if it's not right for me. No readily available spoke calculators is pretty turd. There's someone on lfgss that can build and work out spokes for 25 a set. So may be worth doing that. Saves me hassle. I googled clincher/tubular after I posted. So clincher is the way to go then. How far from the tyre is the middle of the bridge on the frame? The road fork comes readily drilled. So probably the better option for me. Just liked the look of the track fork more.

And also, does the dolan have a hole for rear brake? Or is it not spaced well enough for it to even be drilled?

Would those wheels be alright? 120mm sealed bearings and come with a freewheel too. £65 so cheap too, on that lfgss or whatever forum. Other people have dibs but I'll see what happens. Don't need amazing stuff. fixed/ss seems cheaper than bmx and trials. Apart from carbon wheels. I can happily build my own but they'd need to be perfectly straight really and id rather get them built, for peace of mind lol. Would rims need to be 700c? Oh and what's the deal with bbs? Is square taper the norm? Is the fork you got the road one, or track one? If I do decide to build them, whats a good spoke calculator that will have those rims, hubs and all that jazz listed? Also, what's the difference between tub, clincher and whatever else wheels there is?

Ahh, ok cheers. I knew they'd be more expensive but just trying to get an idea of what I want. 100 miles would be the absolute maximum on a ride, probably never do that. But wanted to give an idea of usage. I'd say roughly 45 a week like you would be closer to what I expect to be doing. Maintenance doesn't really matter to me as I'm used to messing with bikes all the time (I couldn't ride if my bike wasn't set up properly) I think I'll be going with a fixed/ss and a front brake. Probably with one of those dolan pre cursa framesets like you've got. £200 for frame, forks, headset, seat post and clamp. Havn't a clue what to do for wheels. What's good fixed wheels? Also, any clue on what a good computer is? Just something that does the top speed, average speed, distance, time and as waterproof as possible would suffice.

I would have probably taken it if you hadn't. Looks nice and a good price. Will you ride it far? I'm looking for a bike I can use on the road, but don't know if I should get gears or if I'd be ok with SS and fixed on a flip flop hub.

Ok, I'm looking at possibly building a bike at christmas. Now, I first thought gears would be better. But I'm not gonna be racing and maximum it would see in one ride would be no more than 100 miles. Would I be better off with gears or a SS speed bike with a rear flip flop hub for choice between SS and fixie. Doman?

Will it actually be used though? It's for his school/college work. I'd imagine having that would help get marks. Could say that for most materials...

More photos?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Oh, wait... Looks nice, but don't put as much red as possible on it and make it look gashtastic.

I've always pre-ordered from game and recieved early. I've heard of play being a week late too. why not just pick it up in a local shop when it's released?

Must say, that looks really nice.

Ironic how? So you take the piss, and then post that? Ok then...

It doesn't matter who he is, or what he was known for. You would expect us to be respectful if someone you knew died. Same applies here. Wind your neck in you disrespectful willy.

Put something on it so you can lock bikes to the stand.

Shut up you f**king willy. RIP. Always made races more exciting. He was a good friend of Rossi too so you can imagine how he feels right now.

People on this forum try way too hard.

What's wrong with banter?

If you know someone with a Lathe I can send you measurements for the spacer.
