the whole purpose of the build was to annoy you, scratch that, the whole purpose of my life is to annoy you x

Looks like your cranks dont fit on properly

looks like your pants dont fit on properly. zing

Looks more like a Charge Scissor.

Going to have the original BMW fork on it soon, the Clusterfork is a lots lighter and thinner than the Scissor's fork.

I fancy making one of these.

do it.

My bad - I thought you were posting that in answer to Wools' question.

@miller - I like it! Primary colours ftw.

Schoolboy error there Ed, your finger is in the way.

mmm?

The ride might be ok, but I can't see the grip being up to much?

Where can I get a load of springs for [strike]cheap[/strike] free?

It's now magically disappeared, ah the wonders of the internet hey?

Flash Pic.. sh*t pic, pardon me!!

Too long and too soft.

Forgive my ignorance but what is this thing?

Mike, you so crazy! It's a bike to replace my Lo-Pro as an everyday bike. The gearing looks tiny, but as I said earlier up the page it's actually 61GI so it's high enough for commuting and low enough to skid on demand. After bashing about on a serious bike for a while now, everytime I got on my BMX I'd almost forgotten the joy of riding a bike like a twat. So this way I get to ride a big BMX. It's technially a trick setup but I'm not going to be doing tricks, I have my BMX for that, I just want to dick about while I ride to work. Pop wheelies etc.

Funny you should ask Wools, I think it might be a bicycle of some kind.

Joker.

I'm guessing you're referring to mine since Ed's has a massive BROOKLYN sticker on it... It's a Volume Cutter (V4 I think).

the prblem with that wheel, will be when you try to break or ven worse to skid....

Nice work MrC. You already know I love this frame.

It's got a bit too respectable in here, everything is kinda... nice.

Time to dirty it up a bit, behold: The "ProBike":

Frame found in a skip, old deep V's and big ass tyres make a perfect winter rat bike. Almost sorted all the parts, pity - cause I'd love to ride it around today. Unfortunately originally built for 26'' wheels so the V-Brakes I've got won't reach the rims - has holes for calipers though.

Get thee to the Beaters thread...

Yep, from the photo I thought you're restoring a vintage wood stove crossed with a Singer sewing machine.

Steal the valve springs out of any V8 chelsea tractor, kills two birds with one stone.

Did you get my message about the fork?

I did, yeah. It's been my birthday and I've had loads of work on, so haven't really thought about it. I'm interested in an upgrade, but don't really know much about them.

At the moment I have a really cheap Dart and it's heavy and clunky. I don't ride much gnarly stuff, but the upgrade in weight and comfort would be worth it alone - better performance when the going gets rough would be a bonus.

Powder coat, rattle can or enamel? You know it will chip as hell.

Ed that Brooklyn looks fucking aces. How long were you waiting for it?

I also have a Marzocchi MXC which would be a step up from a Dart in terms of weight - 1754g on my scales.

Price?

2011 project now has hubs, but not yet finally decided on a frame.
