Shall point out some ghetto mods :)
Milk carton mud guard on downtube and a bit slipped inside the brake caliper to try and stop it clogging (worked)
A boxed inner tube would almost neatly ram into the space above the rear brake caliper.
Seat tube has bit of inner tube taped to it to hold a 13/15mm spanner.
Also a lump of wood taped to it to screw the blue bottle cage to.
Saddle is held down with very big zip tie as stripped the splines while landing a jump, so had to hold the saddle down to stop it pointing upwards everytime i hit something.
2 scariest memories.
trying to chip a chicane at speed after overtaking downhill because "Brakes" i hit the apex perfectly to jump through..... my arms and bars locked in line... the stem/frame/fork all deflected and followed the contour of what i was trying to jump.
Next day the game was trying to peel off stickers to see if my frame was cracked as the bike crab steered badly.
Build up a bike, add CX tyres, get rad. have fun for cheaps.
