isitafox Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) Since I broke my ankle I thought I may as well give my bike a makeover at the same time as the Marino, besides I'll need brakes when I start riding again till I'm back to full fitness! Was just gonna go for a respray but when I managed to blag some new pimp rims on the cheap things spiralled out of control!Spec:Hope pro 2 hubs, Spank Spike rims, Holy Roller tyresInspired 2011 frame and forksTrialtech bars, grips and stemHope headsetSaint brakes on JAF rotorsTruvativ cranks and BBGot to give a massive shout to Adam and Tartybikes for helping me get the rims, JAF for sorting the rotors for me and Mr Ben Swales for the shiny new cranks!EDIT: Better pics uploaded Edited July 7, 2013 by isitafox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bike_dummie Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 That is one of the nicest fourplays I have seen to date! Why do you have your brake levers at that angle though? Seen it on a few streety bikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perez Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Are those rims heavy? They look very stiff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjewl Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 sweet! doesn't it feel crazy high with that shim stack on the hs and what seems to be 75x35 though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalopS Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Pretty awesome looking bike you have yourself there Dave! I'd be tempted by a silver Hope 70 25 stem but I suspect that wouldn't give you the bar height you need you giant. Jealous of those rims!

isitafox Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Cheers for the comments, might try a Hope on there. Only bought the trialtech as it was dirt cheap, basically brand new and the onza one I had didn't fill me with confidence! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
