So finally starting to build the Fluro Gangsta. Have silver wheels and cranks, so wanted a silver stem and seat post.

Seatposts…I did have a shim to use a 27.2 post before painting but it was a nightmare to remove the post when I wanted it painted. Steel Frame, Alloy Shim and Ti post was a seized nightmare. Trying to find a silver 29.8 Thomson post though is like hunting for Nessie….should I be looking for any other brand or just shim it again ?

Ohh I am going for drops this time, what v-brake road lever combos should I be looking at ? I did have an XTR setup prior

I had to order a smaller post as I couldn't find the right size thomson and I made a shim out of a can to work with it.

You can live with a black inline seatpost?
Very much non-bling but I rate the BBB skyscraper posts. Available in all the diameters and looks sleek. Barely visible logo acetones off.
If your really so inclined you could strip the anodisation quite easily too.

Still have a new v4 medium if any use to anyone

Who ever done your welded brake mount done a good job. Ive got a disc on mine too that Phil Das done and he done a boss job too!

Taking inspiration from @skrtluv?

Please don’t ride like that.

I need a brake booster thingy

I just commented on this about ten minutes ago,came on here and here it is again.

When I was there, there was an orange gangsta with dual aerospokk and the wheels were blue or red or something.

2024 or 2006, still a funky build

The raw frame is nice but I think the aerospokes as much as I was desperate for one then I think look absolutely shit now also needs a black stem too.

They’re your teeth. ;)

Reminds me of how my one used to look. Also I had a green and blue aerospoke set at one point.

such a bright good hhsb

You might be the one I was talking about. Loved the colour of the frame a classic london fixie skidder

I think I can remember seeing this around Trafalgar Square years and years ago, before I lived in London. It made quite an impression on a small town youngster with big city fixie skidders dreams.

it reminds of the days were you see differences in the different fixed scenes globally/nationally. back in the days i had no eye for a gangsta, nowadays i am still searching for a v1 in my size
