loose the spacers and flip dat stem for horns and I reckon the extensions will work nicely.

It lives...

looks great fun mate!

collar bolt, a nut bolt and washers do a better job!?

Use some fibre grip/carbon paste on the post, you can get away with less tension on the collar. Seen a few newish frames where no amount of tightening would stop the post twisting.

The BB7s are nice and all, but will they sort of wear in? Stopping power is a little poor right now. I'm assuming they'll get better with a bit of use?

Thanks :) As does your leader! I'm liking the colour of the frame for sure.

Different pads will help, the stock ones are made to stop inexperienced riders from doing inadvertent endos.

^^ BB7s can be a little fussy to set up. A variety of things, such as lever type ( Obviously not much you can change with STIs ) & cable housing can make a difference. I read a tip somewhere on grinding the cable outers nice & flat after cutting them. Unfortunately I did this when I first fitted them, so can't comment on any improvement.

Could also be a case of pads bedding in & ^ what Mr Tester said.

TTSBs are the way forward

That Hertha tg in the back ground is ironic right?

Can you reccomend any? My stock pads have been okay but need replacing and it'd be nice to have something with a bit more bite.

Swiss Stop DISC S are good.
It's number 17 for juicys, so I would assume the same for BB7.

Looks great.

Not what I know of. The post had some images, about six, all of them within size limit.
I guess it'll show up when someone has had the time to check it out.

front zipp

Doesn't look like a Zipp to me.

It's got Zipp stickers. It's a Zipp.
