The box of rizla behind the counter at the local offie clearance.

Was going for that joke but stupid image didn't work

Lovely stuff from the Donohue thread.

Yeah, Prolly's version was an inspiration (if mine was black, they would be almost the same) while working on mine, lots of parts are the same, although I've opted for bullhorns and some other small differences (Sugino's, Custom Nuevo's etc). And I wanted raw clear-coat (I can easily paint it if it ever becomes an issue).

Brake bridge could be nicer, I agree :) But overall I am 100% satisfied with the build and ride. Lots of hours and money invested dialing it in just right. Steel FTW.

I kinda wish I had bought the awesome black one that was sold on here a year or 2 back. I don't mind the brake bridge at all... Main question though, how does it ride?

Couple of little changes and this would have been perfect. Still though I reckon a new paint job for my donohue is all I need in my life.

I don't have much to compare it to, but IMO the ride is flawless, if the build is right, and I've spent quite some time selecting the right stuff... Couldn't be more happier on how it turned out.

I run it on lower ratio (47/19), tight rear clearance, 28 tyres and it's a riot around town. TBH, I don't really have a single complaint. I might try a different chain (Izumi V) or some other tyres but that's it more or less, everything else is already dialed.

Here's more info on the components:

Yeah, not bad...

You need a Pista concept in your life!

I think you need to send donobro to Reeen for new paint.
This would be splendid.

It's already genuinely rusty why pay for a faux rat? Also, did discuss this with him, can't afford.

You offering?

Think I want it dark metallic blue or purple, or maybe even black... Simple and sparkly

@IR just saw the green c'track on pedal room its super lush
