Duncy H Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 When i saw the frame i thought oh no, what have you done? But as a full bike it looks epic, well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Papasnap Maher Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 Yes Man! Thats lush. Glad to see people are getting away from the boring old, silver, whites and blacks. ( wish i could say the same, last 2 bikes being white and silver lol ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted July 15, 2009 Report Share Posted July 15, 2009 haha, I ALMOST resprayed it myself when i had it but then went stock, I was thinking either Focus ST orange or that sort of green.Looks great mate, missing it now but I just can't ride mods any more. Has the BB snapped? Looks like it might have done in one of those pics.Loving it anyway mate, give us a shout if you're working over this way again? Maybe we could go for a wee ride one evening? Glad to see you're using it and getting back into the sport dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only ever met one guy whos had a go and liked them (besides the guy I got them off), everyone thinks they're too flexy, but I always loved how springy they were.Just drop me a PM on here or a text if you ever fancy a quick blast, havn't changed my number and won't be doing for a while so should be good. Enjoy it mate, looks amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy it mate, looks amazing.Cheers,Nah i replaced the bars for V!Z, had the frame painted and stickered, new grips, new plate, rim tape and new tyres had the wheels painted and just done some little bits like service the freewheel and the brakes.Getting on ok with the forks , really good for pulling up now, at first i fell out with them, but adapted my style now and i find pulling up allot easier so going to see how i get on the rest of the summer.Cheers mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
