  • as soon as you put your violin down you mean, Louis Spence is less of a drama queen than you.

  • Almost finished, sorry for poor taste

    fixed.

  • Definitely needs more red on it ;)

    Also, just noticed front brake lever on left 'bar - it's a polo bike, innit?

  • the first bike i have ever finished. a strange feeling.

    weighed it at ride yesterday - 6.9kg

    now bring on the summer rides!

  • its not finished until you take a hacksaw to that steerer tube...

  • sorry dude love the bike but tht mud guard looks out of place :(

  • Mudguard keeps your arse dry dunt it, chuck mine on whenever its pissing.
    Tristan, grow your arms and slam/get a longer stem, your bike reminds me quite how 'ickle you are. Is your chainring as big as your chub? #ooerrr

    Weight weenie? Looks like a good build.

    To be honest, wouldn't mind weighing my Track Champ. It has to be near the magic 6.8kg mark with all the carbon fibre goodies that are on it.

  • Tristan, grow your arms ..... your bike reminds me quite how 'ickle you are.

    Like a T-rex on a bike...

  • the stem I've got at the minute is too short, it worked on the gangsta, but i need at least a 90mm on this....

    gonna cut the steerer once I'm 100% happy with the riding position, coz you can always cut more steerer off, but can't cut it back on.

    weight weenie-ism wasn't the intention, but it ended up happening! i wanted a wheel set with less rolling resistance, a stiffer crankset, a more comfortable saddle etc etc and this is what i arrived at.

  • its a good 2.5kg lighter thn my hardisty

  • i like it, how much

  • lovin the pink crank arms. what phil said...

  • FINALLY R.I.P. DAYGLO WHEEL YOU WILL BE MISSED

  • i like it, how much

    Probably spent about £200 in the end. Got a lot of it for free - only bought stem, headset, BB, Cranks (half price due to colour!), seatpost, saddle, chain, tubes and rear tyre. Pretty good going getting F+F, wheels and bars for free!

  • cool

    i have a frame i want to build up but cant be arsed spending money on wheels and shit. anyone got anything let me know though

  • what kind of frame, bmx?

  • yes a b mx frame

  • Phil I have some bars and possibly other stuff but not sure as it's all back home. Will look when I'm back home next month if that's any use?!

  • Ok cool thanks

  • Nearly done, waiting for stem
