Shall we just post the full pic here then? It is lovely though isn't it!

The stripes are pissed though, they should be straight imo

I kind of like that, it looks more fabricy...

If they tried to show that frame on tv you would definately get that weird interference pattern (Moire?).
Eyecatching!! Congrats.

Just bought this bad boy, going to be resprayed in Baby Blue with Red polka dots

Wasn't that the wheel that doesn't take a lock ring?

But congrats, disc's are the new black :)

Yeah unfortunately it is...little bit of modification will be required but I'll figure something out...to be honest there's so many good reasons not to use the wheel except for the obvious winner which is that it's a disc...

I think you can actually get really far with rotafix'ing and a bit of red loctite.. But I guess it could be a good idea to have a front brake.

If I don't intend to ever change sprocket(which I'm not too fussed about as it's really just for spinning around and looking fancy) then I'll stick it on with a bit of the above...it's the most terrifyingly efficient adhesive I've ever seen, I've seen it used to anchor bolts in concrete and the concrete will literally tear before this stuff will break...have a bit at home aswell

Resin anchors work because of the porosity of the concrete, and the threading on the bolt.

Loctite will work just as well or better, on a sprocket.

Pretty sure you can get a metal to metal version of that though, or else their normal adhesive which is really good too, I'll probably just go with the loctite for now though...I was also considering drilling two small holes in the lip of my sprocket and then getting grubscrews to hold it in place...any thoughts on the idea?? Is it a shit idea or am I secretly quite cunning?

most things are possible...
could work very well...

word fail! "LUSH" seriously, i don't want to know what you caught off that nasty ho in kings-x

Translation fail

LUSH is a stupid word used by taffs, geordies and teenage girls

An Australian LUSH is a slut, right?

Also, what's a HOON?
