  1. Yea I know where your coming from, so far it's holding up well, haven't used it much and only just done the initial re-tightening of the non drive side after first use, my profile is 48 hole so had limited choice, thinking I should have gone 4 cross, other than that I have a set of todestrieb chrome rims I was toying with putting on but there laced to a fixed hub and unfortunately the death mobile runs a Spanish bb or I'd have a front free wheel set up on the right
  2. I know tell me about it lol kids go back to school tomorrow so there's still a chance of summerish weather
  3. Thanks man, difficult to get in those shots but when the sun hits its like there's a bit of flake in there too
  4. Yea it's lhd, my first lhd drive wheel build, trying different things out on this build, getting some short chubby pegs for the right hand side for grinds, also in the process of a custom grind guard for the right side of the totem. Honestly thought more eye brows would be raised for using one of the biggest sets of single crown downhill forks on the market as landing gear lol
  5. Yea man had my doubts myself with the tig welds but after breaking a few alloy bars wanted to go chromoly and a little different than usual, 4130 chromoly tig welded was about as far out as I could find lol have you experience with the sankuki bars yourself? Any other suggestions to try out instead?
  6. Been putting this tank together for a while, nemesis project death mobile frame, (ex factory rider frame) 48 spoke halo sas rim with profile high flange left hand drive bmx hub with maxis hook worm 2.5 tire sun rim on nuke proof hub with onza XIII tire (2.3 I think) rockshox totem coil slammed to 80mm ( in these pics) since then tinkered to 90mm on a firm coil and mission control fluid gate removed nempro camp stem (no.099) stem thompson seat post 24 bikes sankuri bars avid ultimate rear v brake and lever, extra long good ridge, nokon cable for bar spins charge spoon seat definetly not a light bike but to be honest I never thought it was going to be or tried to make it light, just something to last a while, still tinkering with it and changing things after nearly every ride but that's just part of the love I have for it Hell im not even sure what kinda of bike type it comes under, grinding pegs coming soon lol
  7. 1997 cannondale f500 in Dodge Viper red, modernised (where appropriate), barn (actually a garage) find, been working on this since I got it around 2009, finished most of it, upgraded headshok cartridge with an oil damped unit with a lockout, most recent was the middleburn cranks and Isis bottom bracket. The avid black ops levers and xtr v brakes have some of best modulation I've came across, still a few tweeks to make, seat post (thinking Thompson) and seat, not too shabby for a 19 year old bike, no bubbling under the paint as with most dales I've seen from this kind of vintage, still puts a smile on my face riding it

    My Bikes/Bike Frames

    A collection of pics for the Frames and Bikes I've made up and collected over the years
  9. Ok a rough weight measurement for the original design just came through (apologee's but only old scales available and this is what I've been told but will confirm myself on modern scales as soon as I can) and it's at 9 oz so roughly 255 grams. Of course if someone has one handy and a set of modern scales It would be great to see what they come up with
  10. Cheers for all the feedback positive and negative again fellas, I've passed it along, seems like the main issue with why people wouldn't use it is because of the look or weight. I can totally see this point and pointed this out to the maker who said "Some people say that they are hefty an ruin a bikes aesthetics, but I think most use them just to practice new tricks until they get it sorted or at comps, but take them off when street riding and show boating". I think he'll still be taking the feedback all on board to see if he can modify it to increase the demand. Personnally I know as a single parent on benefits (thankyou tax payers) I'd rather use one as I can't always afford to replace a frame and need them to last as long a possible, but like trying new things like rails etc.
  11. Ok quick update, been given a price, I've been told they should be £15 direct
  12. he can produce them in different colours and with or without the logo, cheers for the feedback The Ideas above have been passed along, cheers for the feedback and suggestions fellas
  13. thanks for all the response so far with the votes, this is my first time with a voting poll, I suppose I should have put different options in, like possibley for the people who voted no, Would you have said that because maybe you don't feel you need one because you don't mess up much anymore or maybe you just don't want something like that on your bike a messing with the clean lines of the frame?
