yoyoyo Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Well, i've been looking through my pictars and found these of my ashton. And seeing as no-one has posted one up for a while. I thought why the hell not.I'm not going to go and get any super dooper pics, mainly because it's not finished yet. Just needs tidying up in a quite a few places. Plus new forks,wheels, probably a disk and sort out the mech with a tensioner. Just need to wait until my next paycheck... or possibly the next three.But it rides nicely for me, so i'm happy.

Mr Plod Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 I like that. Very nice. I think the red is better than the black as it looks alot more cleaner. But yeah very nice. What wheels and such you thinking of getting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyoyo Posted October 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 No idea yet. But something wider than mavics. I just don't think it looks trialsy enough with thin rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross McArthur Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 does it have to look trialsy? why not just keep the rims if your happy with how they ride?...just asking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted October 4, 2006 Report Share Posted October 4, 2006 Gotta agree with the others, just save you're money and keep the mavics, there tougher and lighter than any of the wide rims around at the moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoyoyo Posted October 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 does it have to look trialsy? Yes. I'm just not that happy with the mavics. I want something wider with either drilled rims and red tape or those cool scoops, but i can't remember who did them.It's the way i want my bike to look, not because thats the way everyone elses looks. Just the style i think looks sexual.Before anyone says to drill the mavics, i a) Home drilled don't look right and i'm too lazy to do it and sand it to make it look nice.But the wheels are currently last on my list of things to get. Next it's pedals and single speed kit with possible chain tensioner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
