I guess Joe just wanted to see more of his son growing up and ride his bike more. Fair.

Has that been ridden into a wall or is it supposed to look like that?

Grinding brake mounts off the BMW tonight, reverting back to original build, should have it back up and running tmr

Got it built back up today, new wheels and 38c gums. Had to sell my Phil wood wheelset a few months back so sitting on halos again, look alright and gums are pretty dope. Still on the hunt for a slr to strip

Remind me why you took the canti mounts off again. Must have missed it

Didn't really work out as a cx bike for me, ended up buying a geared cross bike and just missed the BMW how it was tbh, can't upload the pictures for some reason

Most likely file size is too large, needs to be 3mb or less or hosted elsewhere

First time I've uploaded with the iPhone 7 so yeah files must be too big

Ouch, nice paint, but £850!!

@Nice_Ben BMW looks great, plz polish it to a mirror finish that would looks gr8

quite an expensive experiment in the end then :S

I wanted a CX bike and have ended up with one, just took 6 months of tinkering. I transferred all the parts across a few builds in the end till I settled, don't think I'm too much out of pocket :s

I think your Brooklyn is my favorite build, even with the halo wheels ;-)

I might have to try mine with riser bars again.

I'm building a new front wheel for mine too. Archetype on an old Chris King mountain bike hub which I've had for about 10 years not doing anything.

Cheers dude. I actually like the halos, I'm testing them for halo, they got new spline style fixed hubs laced to standard aerotracks. The hubs have a built in spline like a road cassette that the cog slides on to, has adjustable chain line and no lock rings so easy assembly and no hassle. They're pretty dope

Not as smooth as my phils but they were too good to run into the ground on this thing really

they did them years ago for fgfs and were utter wank

These seem pretty bomb proof so far, must have re designed them

Are you sponsored by halo wheels?
