1997 EWR E-Motion

Done!...I'm not so sure that a resto-mod style build like this belongs in pre 1997 forum here, but if it needs to be moved, then I'm ok with that. The frame is a 1997, fresh from Bilenky and Fresh Frame where the rim brake braze-ons and cable guides were burned off in favor of disc goodies.

Build notes... The stem and steerer tube are being evaluated before I do the final trim. Right now I've got two spacers up and one down. Sorta like it like that.

It's an N-Gear Chain Watcher. Not attached to the cranks at all, rather just a very simple, and inexpensive little bolt-on doodad. You can find out more on page three of this thread...

Awesome

Nice to see it finished dude, I know you weren't keen on the orange but it's amazingly vibrant paint

loving the single ring set-up. how are you finding the ratio's in real world use? do you use every gear?

Like it

Definately rate the 1x9 setup

I love that frame design - very much what I'm looking to get built when I have the time and cash available... pictures stored for later use

Awesome looking machine

Thanks, pal. You've put together some great machines of late, so that means a lot to me.

Orange is growing on me. It is actually metalic too, which I sort of like. Not quite bass-boat metallic, but a little more sparkle than most I've seen. Rather pretty, actually!
