BJ.

Travel around a bit, ride with new people. I always enjoy I big group ride with people I don't often ride with.

Get those forks sprayed up!

This is an old one I did on my old echo 24 'cause the drop out had been welded and couldn't run a tensioner screw. Found these from an old thread.

It is indeed haha!

New hashtagg cranks look interesting, they're very ugly but look pretty beefy

Would love to see the Lacey all built up with all black parts

Thanks for the help guys I'm starting to think my new pass time is building bikes rather than ride them

You must have a terrible wheel builder if your spokes bend while taking a sprocket off!

At the end of the day just do what makes you happy. If you don't enjoy something why do it?

I was aiming more at the structure of the older style frames rather than the geometry. The older frames seem to last whereas modern frames have a shelf life of about 12 months. But yeah it's a good point you raised.

Nowadays it's all about really short high bb bikes when it comes to 20" bikes. There's a big gap in the market for a medium/low bb mod frame and there's not really anything out there much bigger than 1000 wheel base. best thing you could possibly do would be to get A few old skool zoo's/echos and try and copy them but with a slightly more modern geometry.

Caddy!

She's sick of hearing me moan on about wanting my bike finished I guess.

Another update! The Mrs took me to the bike shop yesterday and bought me some cranks and pedals! Just waiting on the last few bits and it's finished!

The only thing left for you now is a sponsor from Yorkshire Tea and you can then die a happy man

It looks really solid. tubing is a fair size. It makes my wallet weep just looking at it though. it certainly doesn't look cheap.

Just noticed this when scrolling through my Facebook feed. Tubing and shape looks similar to the koxx kloud

That gap to foot jam was incredible! Can you go up to front (foot) jam?

It's just a reach adjustment screw. You don't really need it it just makes you able to set your lever further away from your bars / closer in. A little pedal grubscrew would probably do the same job if you feel you need it in there.

Managed to strip the graphics from the bars. They look pretty cool now

Surprisingly not! Now you mention it, me either! Only bought these as they're the highest rise I could find :'( May have to try and remove the graphics and see what the look like then. If all fails I'll have to order a set of Inspireds.
