New front end, new geo;

1005, +25, 380, 73*.

Going to paint the forks black and the hubs green when i can be bothered, but for now it's getting the thrashing it deserves :)

...oh and maybe a pivotal just for Dave :P

EDIT: and i'll turn that front tyre round. Lukas Mcneal, i trust you with one thing!

Already said it looks great. I reckon the forks look better silver on that, unless you're gonna do something with the cranks too - kinda ties them in together in my opinion.

I've got a pivotal post floating about you can have for next to nowt when you do the right thing.

Sooooo, I decided to bring the bike back into check, it was getting pretty scruffy and generally miles away from what my bikes are usually about, so now my riding's back up to scratch, it's the bike's turn!

Take this;

And after about 3 hours, some spraying, bolting, masking and painting every spoke individually with a tiny paint brush...

Looking good again B)

Small spec update too, now running a 90x10* Thomson X4 with Trialtech High Rise bars, and some skinny grips courtesy of Mark.

Also feeling pretty honoured to be running a Clean sticker fresh off the Dymo on my top tube, which i figure will give me at least 6" on my bunnyhops.

Comments welcome, and Dave - i'll get that pivotal soon!

Oh and once again, thanks to Tarty and Mr. Westlake for being heroes.

Latest update looks soooo sick. Think you should have kept the old stem to give you that little bit extra ride height with the Trialtech high risers.

Cheers! I'd have loved to keep the 90x15* as it's absolutely perfect for it, but as Luke said - major compatibility issues!

New seat, black cranks, do it!

Seat, yes, cranks, no. I can't afford new burns when these are fine, and black ones look shit after 2 rides :P

Is that DJB's bike?

Looks tidy too heavy though, your only a skinny runt :P

Yeah it's Dan's old one, loooooving it. It is heavy but i'm getting used to it, which in turn is changing the "skinny runt" bit :P I can't make it any lighter though which sucks.

Paaaaaint them.

But you've got a point, it'll look shit when it wears off.

On the subjects of seats, I just bought this - http://www.alansbmx.com/product_info.php?products_id=10608

Probably go nicely on yours too.

Bike looks 100x cooler now which is good because it's looks are improving at the same rate that you're riding is. HIGH FIVE

Also..
