@ dogs - hows it ride?... ooooo massive BB, longy crank arms too.
bagsy first go!
got 170mm cranks, but BB is way off the ground. ride is mega stable, zero flex in frame.What were you aiming for? Looks dope in a kind of Hot Rodder way. You need fluffy dice for the geekhouse.
wanted chunkier flake

no, all those bits were either of the holdsworth or spare ;)

new polo bike :)
this frames designed for 26" wheels right? are those 650s or 700s you got in there. for some reason the sloping top tube that looks so awful on the wangster etc looks so right on this.

yes for 26", but they are 700x23 and still plenty of room ;)

Campy C-record group that I have hidden under the bed
The rims are 1980's Nisi Stretto corsa on low flange c-record hubs
20mm road rims low profile and grey anodized
not much in the way of braking surface on them
but they really look the part
got to figure out how to thread a brake cable through the top tube
and those tires cost an absolute bloody fortune
fuckin love that saddle, haven't seen it in black and white, reminds me of a humbug

Ok a bit late as I finished it a few weeks ago, but here is my lovely Pearson. Frame bought from Smeear on this forum.
It's sooo much fun to ride, although switching from spd pedals to toe clips has been 'interesting'.
the rear wheel is currently stolen from bike number 2, because I can't decide which colour to make one for this?
LFGSS saddle dangler dangling with pride off the back!

the same as the front?
do yourself a favour and put some bullhorns on it, risers dont belong on a lo-pro.

Nice.
Keep the risers, don't listen to that Melon ;)

Yeah, I've been thinking of silver back too. I do like the leary colour of the pink against the rest of a quite polite bike.
as for the risers, they're staying for the mo, I've been learning all sorts of dumb tricks at the trixie dix night, and I think risers are pretty much indispensable for that.

i dont want to start an arrogant internet argument, but why did you get a lo pro if you want to do tricks, having risers defeats the point of having a lo pro. you wouldnt do a rally in an arial atom so why do this?

picked up an old 'beater' off a guy who came in the shop, truns out its got full campag on it and the frame could be something interesting. After the usuall searches for old french/italian bikes and frame designs it started to look like it could be a masi, but the frame number disproves this, after a bit more digging it could be an old Wilier but finding info on these is like rocking horse shit! anyone got any info on where i could try yo find out more???

I don't just want to do tricks, it's my daily bombing around on bike, commute bike, everything bike, I just like to dick around on Tuesdays. The risers don't completely defeat the low pro, the stem goes down as much as they rise up.
and at the end of the day, I think the bike looks lovely like that and I can build a stupid bike if I like. ;-)
