Your missing a trick then.

What do you do when you run into a tightening corner too hot?
Or a car pulls out, it's wet and mid turn?
Or your going flat out in the wet and you need to brake HARD, but don't want the front to slide?

Endo.

Why, what do you do?

Nose manny, wallride and then barspin out...?

Both of you are fools.

If it's a normal car bunny hop. For a 4x4 front flip, hand plant, and back over the other side.

Obvs i was referring to the tight corner scenario. Gah!...

are people still really arguing over front brake only vs rear brake only?

really?

Quality post.

post of the day for me.

Crash.

:D

Almost finished! The frame's a Jonkers, made in Rotterdam, almost certainly Columbus SL, although it's been resprayed (according to the columbus sticker). I've seen a couple other Jonkers, but never one this nice IMHO. Groupset is full shimano 600/Ultegra.

Gears still need to be set up, spent ages trying to look for a fitting cable bolt for the rear derailleur, but I managed.

Rattlecanned my beater black today. Quick and dirty.

There's a really nice frame hiding there ^

Yep, thanks.
But it was red/orangeish and the paint was fucked anyway.
Needs a nice paintjob and a proper build i know. Got no money, so i went for the ghettojob ;)

Ghettojob on the rear rim as well? How'd it work out?

Yeah rear wheel looks shit i know....but technically it works. At least i hope so.

Wow, painted the stays through the crank/chainring and left the seatpost in.
Laziness x 100000

Not sure if what you've done is to be loved, or really, really hated.

Love is winning. What is it?

Hating on the painting. I'm jelous. I'd give some decent paint.

It's going in the Rat Bikes thread >>>>>

Some pretty lug work, and a very nice looking fork crown.

Nice bike.

Jonkers is an ace name.

bit of masking tape over some bits would of been nice

Yep, thanks.

Sell it to someone that will bring it to it's (deserved) glory (beautiful lugs), and get yourself a Plug?.. (just an idea. Don't want to sound cocky, but that's almost criminal, IMO)
;)

This^ those lugs on the head tube look really lovely as does the fork crown

Nice bike.

I admit it sounds funny, but in Holland it gets no notice.

I'll try to post some decent final pictures soon, once I some cable ends (I used to be able to find them all over my room, now there seems to be none left...).

Anodized red or silver cable ends?

And the oversize seat stay caps have a 'Special Products' look about them.

I ride the shit out of that bike, was my messenger bike for almost 2 years now, it looked shit before the rattlecanattack and it looks shit afterwards. Got the frame from the Velodrome, where it was rattlecanned red/orange and had yellow "wheeler" stickers on it, sponsor i guess. Looked awful. I won't sell that thing ever, too much love, but one day it will shine in its deserved glory i promise. I'm only 18, so theres enough time to build that beauty up properly ;)

I want that frame and i want to spend weeks refinishing it beige with polished lugs.^
