Current projects in Dublin

someone has been studying! I'll keep that in mind, like I said, there's no rush, although the sooner the better I guess because I'm going to have a frankenbike for a while

two to three hundred bills of forks on a bike for tricks. What the fuck are you smoking.

Ha I've never bought forks before so I don't know what to expect to spend

MMMMM...

It's a nice fork alright! I think I might go with a 650c front wheel (but again, I'll be investigating it). It's what Keo on bootleg 1 does although he also has a lo-pro

You should get a 650 front and rear, keep adding more heavy gauge steel, get a smaller frame and keep going that devolution until you have a BMX.

In fact I'll just take the Bmx wheel an forks I have already and attach them! Great idea scaryeire!

Im so tempted to borrow a 10" wheel from the shop and put it on the front of mine:D

@Scaryeire don't forget to shake!

I had bought an old Raleigh to convert but I really don't have the dosh so I'm going to focus on my fort, starting with a powdercoat once I get new forks. There has been discussion on it over on boards.ie with some dude that works in tallaght powdercoating even commenting about it. It apparently costs €120 for a frame (I don't know if forks are included) and if you go to their website you can get a 10% discount too. I'm thinking of popping in there on Thursday to see what colours they have

Hmm... €120 sounds reasonable enough if the quality is good!! What colour are you going to go for? They look great in white with some coloured rims!!

Nah white is too much upkeep I think. Although..... It does sound pretty cool

I was thinking of green frame forks and stem and purple rims grips and pedals

in the last week i have obtained 2 new bikes!
here is the most recent 350 earlier today

i call her NEMO!

and i have no pictures of the track bike but it is a sexy lugged frame in a little need of a respray.

MMMMM...

How about this?...

Yeah thats the type of fork I meant when I said mtb rigid forks, very nice on some bikes.

I was talking to my mechanic friend and he is gonna see if he can get me the fu manchu forks

Check chainreaction, they have some nice ones.

yeah I was but I don't think they'd fit my headset for the most part. Mine is 1"

Brooklyn are 1" aren't they?

What...Why 1"? Ahead?

Yeah I think so... I was fairly sure Brooklyn forks are 1" Ahead? Some random american manufacturers do it for some reason... Fort for example...

Haha fools, going back to the days where different was thought of as better:p.

Stick up a pic! What is it?

I found some cracks in my forks so I'll be getting some new ones, any suggestions from anyone?

These look good if you're planning to do much tricks https://www.benscycle.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=188_902&products_id=8442

I would but they won't fit my frame, those forks come only in 1-1/8" not 1"

Also decided to change my ratio. So I'm running 51/17 at the moment and I'm thinking of getting a fyxomatosis chainring. Just need to figure out what ratio would be nice and easy for tricks but if I change the cog I still need a bit of oomph for speed when commuting. Suggestions?
