what brakes are those? :?

won a giant atx 970 from gay bay for £17.99! got it the other day and built it up using any spares I had lying around. I was ready for a crap ride to say the least but I was almost dissapointed by just how increadably well it rode! all the pivots are nice and smooth with no play, the rst shock...

pm'd ya fella!

anybody got one going spare?

check this guy out! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=VnMMqut0RbE

I was -6! :lol:

I reckon with a 1 1/4 inch steerer together with a fairly beefy frame even by modern standards it should have very fast and direct steering! :shock:

yeah i'll stick with it. i want build it old school with seven speed and canti's and it will my "reality check" bike! i've been moddy coddled by my 06 kona kikapu full susser with it's xt hyd disk brakes, 180mm rotors. 5 inch of travel at each end, 27" riser bars and super grippy maxxis high...

just trying to build up a proflex 753(ish,prbably!) went to put a headset in and found it used a crazy oversize thingy, got lucky and found one on ebay for £5! fitted the headset today. only thing is i thought it just reduced the 1 1/4 headset so a 1 1/8 fork would fit....but they don't :? . so...

A slightly shorter term and perhaps less frightening way to lose weight through illness would be to do what i did and get a reall nasty stomach bug and the squits for a few days from not washing my camelback out properly!.that bug does sound very nasty though fella! :shock:

yeah i thought the same. it will be ok though cos being in the RAF and all i know a few aviation standard welders who are used to working with alloys!

no i think its non-replaceable. i reckon i can get it straight though.

cheers fella! 8)
