Mash?

Nah it's expensive and canto mount.

disc brake braze on on the gangsta #belikeaustinhorse

Nope, It doesn't fit enough like a cross bike and I'd need new forks which would put the BB too low.

Mash is nice but pricey, I'd prefer steel anyway

This.

Fit wise isn't 73degrees pretty much cross angles? This is a genuine question haven't looked at cross geometries and am on my phone, and forks, disc tab on the v1 forks? I'll be pm'ing bout that tomorow by the way

I don't think I can do the forks as I've dropped money on a frame :(

The problem isn't really the angles, it's the tiny head tube.

the 60mm bb drop goes down about 7mm after you change the a2c from 410 to 395. Quite reasonable for a crossbike. But the front end is quite low on gangstas.

It's not that low, still rideable.

Yup but I'd rather have a higher front end if I were racing and doing loner rides on it, like I'd do with a cross bike.

Get the Kinesis fork then, 5mm lower just mean a 5mm spacer.

well, it is in the surly territory.

good find^

seems safe

Oh my dayz

wowzy

But......why?

Thats the original track gangsta from austin horse although I think it needs a black set of forks instead of rusty ones.

Those forks are from his original BMW Gangsta that he won the NACCS on in 2007... The same frame that I had to leave behind in Japan when it was given to me by Joe (BMW owner) in 2009. When Austin got that orange BMW Gangsta.

I was gutted.

Austin is rad and fyi was the main rider that doubled for Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Premium Rush...

Yup.

Dat's the new new sheriff hub hanging over there.
Like that hub. Very nice hub.

^ +1 on the sheriff... been on one for over a year and it feels just as solid as the first day it was built up

Another poor frame set to suffer at your hands?

I thought you are constantly say your struggling for money, and yet seem to be fucking drowning in the stuff?
