Orange Crush

So Nobby Nics then

Fork and dropper delivered, no headset or seat clamp.
Cheapy temporary headset turning up tomorrow so I can start building the thing, exciting.

Things are turning up

More pics tomorrow, or later if I can peel myself away from the PS4

Also have a cheap headset but can't remember where I've put the bloody stem.

So Nobby Nics then

Who doesn't use Nobby Nics?

They're very popular on e-bikes, apparently

This went a bit quiet, but I have been accumulating parts since the last posts.

Now you can enjoy me attempting to panic build this things for riding on the weekend 😵

More pressing things to do:
•Refit proper front hose and bleed brake
•Get some useable bars and a seat clamp
•Start building the bloody thing

time is ticking!

Also there's a tree with your name on it in Surrey Hills.

As in, it's rideable in some way or is there actually a tree with my name

Is there photo evidence of this tree

Super Nova?

I know a Nova, not me though.
My name is like an upgraded version of @Dogs 😜

Okayy, went to put wheels on, need a boost rear axle. But before that, I've misplaced the countersink bolts that hold the mech hanger 🙀

Oh yeah I've lost the stem again ☺

Found the stem and counter sink bolts for the hanger which are both fitted.
More updates later

Rad. I'll finally be building the Santa Cruz (was San Quentin) tomorrow. Very similar bikes by all accounts

Almost toyed with the idea of putting some short travel forks on that small frame you were selling and using as some sort of franken-jump bike. Which would probably be silly

Seat clamp arrived this morn
Cheers @Tadpole

Well, I managed to put the rotors on the wrong wheels in a rush and ran out of time so no proper update. Other than I'm still not sure which set of bars will be on the bike

But Saint brakes, Ice Tech rotors and shifter/mech stripped from the Omnium 😪 ready to be fitted

Progress!
Hanger fitted with original countersink bolts.
Seat clamp is also on, seatpost will be fitted this evening.

Chucked the bars from my cargo bike on temporarily.
I need to change the front hose to a normal length and bleed it.
