Endohopper Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 You intend to replace the casette ? May I suggest a road casette , with smaller gearing . Having found your ideal front chainring size , the small steps of a road casette will allow you fine tuned variations without the weight of a conventional MTB casette . Good lookin' bike , dude .

Sam Nichols Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Please tilt the seat back a bit so it follows the top tube line a wee bit better... It'll look so much sexier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich4130 Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Ye, and slam it down, right DOWN. (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Posted September 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 thanks for all the comments! road cassette is coming soon Endohopper. On the seat thing, thats as far as i can tilt it, my seat post is poop but I will push the seat a bit more foward so i can slam it right DOWN.

Skeedy Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 i definatly think you should keep thoes grips on tehre, they're sweet....i have the same ones by the way. and this is definatly not the same skeedy as the other site >_<" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 I think the seat looks nice and that, just doesnt look like it will fit on the bike properly without catching on the tyre. Sooooo, try clampoing the end bit of the rail of the seat so its as far forward as possible and give it a slight angle/ that direction. That way youll give it a lot more clearance and aswell as performing better will look nicer too >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Dave Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 nice frame. first thing i would change would be the cranks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaRtZ Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 nice frame. first thing i would change would be the cranks ← Same. Its still incredibly sexy. The raceline yellow maguras really suit IMO Loving it mate :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Posted September 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Thanks alot guys, it rides so lovely. The cranks are holzfeller urbans which I agree aren't the best for trials but they're stiff and strong, its just that they're heavy. I will eventually change them but for now I'm leaving them as they are. :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
random Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 Old school style Clean lines Clean build You've sold it to me dude. The above is required to make me like you and your bike. Hope you get it tunned up a bit more so your fully happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 You could chop an inch or so off the bottom of the seat post, that'll enable you to lower the seat right down. Very sweet ride :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
