That is a beauty, everything except the tyres I love, would have preferred black to keep it stealthy.

 

[marin man]

It is a single speed though :roll: I have just been sick....hate single speeds...they are for people who cant afford gears

anyway all personal preference isnt it......

Ohh yeah the skewers are the wrong side.....did you buy it from halfords like that

 

[the_duke]

What I like about it mate is that you can tell its a bike you built. Bare with me here. . . .

If you lined up 8 bikes in a row you could always pick out the MM one. Always.

A bit like if you watch a Tarantino, Scorsese, Boyle, or Coppola film, you could tell straight away without being told the director. They are auteurs, in your way so are you

The moral. . . .dont back down, just cos you wont win Botm doesnt mean it aint worth it

I have gears
I went for Sram X9 shifters with XO mechs.SS is fun and helps build the legs.


Least i ride my builds

everything except the tyres I love, would have preferred black to keep it stealthy.

Tyres are changing to specialized fatboys 1.5"
Im also changing the headset from blue CK to a black one,same with skewers and seat clamp.
And saving my pennies for a nice syncros Ti seatpost.
Maybe change the cranks to something else :? either that or ill polish it up.
