carbon shite but it rides nice

wow

Holy. Crap.
I'd love to get that out on the Tarmac.....

Was fixed but recently been trying this out

2 rides later and it's already got some play in it...

Sorry but that is a beautiful bike, barspin?
What frame is it?
looks like an NS to me

It's an NS Analog 2010 model, and yes it is barspinable, not that i have the ability/balls though. Can take up to a 38c tyre, but i run 32s as i wanted a bike that i could ride over distance, but still throw around without worrying that i was going to snap something in half.

@ Chief - just worked out from the NS pics that your Tumblr is BikeBuilds - nice stuff

Nice one, I was already reading it. funny.

I was looking at building up one of those NS frames for tricking. Whats the weight like?

Thanks, bikebuilds is pretty new and finding time to go out and get some original content while balancing my dissertation is proving a bit of a challenge at the moment, but now the weather is picking up I hope to make updates a bit more regular.

About the same as a well-specced BMX, i've not actually weighed it but i'd estimate somewhere around 25lbs? Possibly slightly more, i'll weigh it at work on sunday and get a decent figure for you. You could probably build one to be a lot lighter than mine with different cranks/wheels etc.

I'd probably drop a profile crankset on there and some velocity chukkers and some big fat 42c tires.
well if it took up to that much I would, what do you think? 38c?

NS say it's designed for a 38c tyre, i reckon you might be able to squeeze something bigger in as they come with 38s as completes, and i can't see an OEM bike running tyres super close to the stays.

those shots under the motorway - which section is that?

It's under the M6, next to Witton cemetary

Stoopid electric type writer is playing up... Cant upload my pics!! My now Beautiful Olmo is back from Mercian (They aint so great at painting by the way!) Buying Brookes saddle as we speak! Watch this space!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dub - that looks so nice mate. Really would like to see it in the flesh soon.

That is a tasty looking Olmo! Is it some kind of metallic brown?
