Hulsroy's Hustle

saw this carbon kidimoto at the cycle show at the NEC a few years back.
pretty sure it had carbon bars as well.
i think it was just a prototype and never intended for production.

edit apparently it is available if you've got £400 to spare...

Steel makes for stronger offspring (and parents). Useful when you need help with carrying groceries

Huh just discovered CK don't make seatpost clamps.
What's the OD of the tube? QR probably makes sense considering how often you'll be raising it

I think I'll be using this. It is fine. OD is 30mm.

Balance bike is done

Paint? Or leaving it raw?

Very cool.

Yellow.

Either ral 1027 or ral 8000. But if they can't do any of those I'll find one on the spot.

Thanks man

Awesome job !!!

Thanks @gaรȶ๏ภ

I dropped off the bike this morning. I ended up with RAL 1027 as RAL 8000 isn't really yellow. And the wife asked for yellow.
They didn't have matte so it will be a gloss ish finish. It's fine. My daughter won't care :)

Also had my rando rack and car roof rack clamps painted same colour to save money!

Fingers crossed they have it painted before June 27th. The guy that owns the paint shop totally got the urgency and let me jump up the sandblaster queue.

Blance bike looks great!

The bar, saddle and wheel relationship reminds me of a speedway bike

Yes it does have that moto vibe going.

I was thinking it looks a bit like a gravity bike actually. Which it sort of is I guess

RAL 8000 isn't really yellow

Of course not. It's Århus-brun.

I know I know. I just fancy it. So was trying to tell K it is

RAL 1027

Curry yellow? Lækker.

Yes same as that cross bike I broke

Getting my rack tomorrow

What stem is that?

Painted 3t arx or arx team

Ta. Does it hold the paint, or does it chip easily?

It is alright I guess. Not more chipped than the rest of the frame :)
