Misuse of nice classic parts

[fuzzywig]

Machine tech V brake lever (it was all I had lying around at the time)

I did have the pair at one time, crash casualty along with a pair of carbon bars (never again)

nowt wrong with that, I've seen pauls levers being used before now with a motolite V brake on the rear.

I'm only jesting, I'm no parts snob!

Paul components actually make a BMX specific v brake.

The machine tech lever was needed anyhow, to bring the bikes weight down below 35lbs

It'd be cool to see some other spangly bits on not so spangly machines

That's a good idea for a thread - let's call it "All the gear, no idea!"

This is from a guy (gruenbär @ mtb-news.de) from Germany who has built that TI-bike for his little daughter...any questions
The coolest thing I have ever seen :shock: I wish I only had some of these parts

For comparison only

That is awsome! :shock:

But why the crappy pedals?

 

[posh26]

I guess that the idea was not to have any sharp edges on the pedals...
