Thar She blows (new build....sort of)

love those straps on the pedals - what are they?

The straps are some faux-leather straps - they're not the best as the straps keep coming out of the cages (need to wear them out or get some buttons or get some toshis).

I got them from bens cycles for about £12-14 I think

OMG ! No brakes ! Eeek ! get some brakes brother

haha - i've been riding breakless since the get go and am quite comfortable with it ;)

edit: Your aware of it.... cant you just move your wheel back and tighten your nuts?

Its quite hard without tugs getting a nice tension on the chain - il reckon il get some tugs in a week or so.

cheers for the comments guys.

upgrade the hubs! go DA!

they don't make em all black - wanted specific all black hubs!

goldtecs then, that frame deserves better hubs :)

haha - (i hate the font used for goldtecs!) - im happy with the nova's for the mo - il probably upgrade to suzue pro max soon

grancompe?
powder coated DA?

ohh btw i can trade you a 110 axle if you want?, less overhang

Just jam your hand between the seat tube and wheel. Perfect tension every time!

Come on.

Nice bike. Out of interest, why are you using such a short stem? I would have though, judging by te amount of seatpost on display, that you might be better off running about 90 or 100 mm

B4R Sp1nz!

dude, seriously not your problem!!

To be honest, running no brakes has never been an issue - its not a style/looks thing but I've learnt to ride brakeless and really enjoy it. I've never put anyone in danger nor do I ride like a dick.

I don't ever ride super super fast that I need to have a brake and even in that sense, judging from the accidents that I've been aware off, flying over the handles coz of the front brake, scares the hell out of me!

I got the smaller stem as I like the response of a shorter stem than a longer one - I do have long arms but find it quite comfortable.

No B4R Spins dude, frame says 'NO' when i try!

The hubs are 110 - It took some time but I found some non - DA etc 110 hubs. The hubs I have are perfect for me right now - I had think convo with Dale when I saw him; Il probably get another wheelset built up in the future with suzue pro max.

Powder coating a pair of DA's doesn't seem right to me.....

black phil wood will do the job . . .
