Rob_P Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 After no riding for 2 odd months I slowly built this up in bits, using some of my old parts from my BT but most is new. Here she is.....Rides like an absolute dream, no wonder these frames are so popular. Spec:Bars: Azonic DW 1.5" riseGrips: Richy WCSStem: Toxin 100 x 8Forks: FattysHeadset: HopeBB: UN 72Cranks: Middleburns + lathed bashPedals: Gussett slimjims (white)Front brake: Avid mechanicalFront lever : XTRRear brake: HS33 + koxx redsFront wheel: Gunmetal Hope Pro 2 on LMF (black spokes)Rear wheel: Gunmetal Hope Pro 2 on BMF (black spokes)Front tyre: DMR moto diggerRear tyre: Maxxis minion super tackyPlease ignore the blue headset and brake, when i've got some money i'll be getting them polished, also i'll be adding a heatsink tensioner and CNC coust pads.Suits my riding much better, feels so streety with the bar + tyre set up.I'm really pleased with it and think it cost me £680 ish to change from BT to this with the new parts etc.Please tell me what you thinkThanks a lotRob 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomN Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Looks great but even better like what you said about the bluenish but yeah quality PS. How you rate them pedals and thee front tyre? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_P Posted May 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 The pedals seem very very good so far! Exteremly grippy, replaceable pins throughout (from the underside so you can actually get them out unlike v8s) Look the dogs and don't hurt your feet much at all, very comfortable.The tyre is suprisingly good, very good in wet and dry (so far) We were riding a building site the other day in the pissing down rain and it was fine. I really prefur it over some huge downhill thing like a maxxis, this is really streety and rolls nicely, it's not like I ever ride natty anyway Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
