if i had any money that id be all over this.
is building one of these kinda bikes as simple as just finding an old mtb or atb and just getting someone to change the dropouts? -
• #3
i think it's pretty sweet. I have little or no taste. Or the money to build it up.
Tempted to dibs though.
How much does it cost for people to braze on track ends anyway
-
• #4
That is very cool.

• #5
How much does the frame weigh?
-
• #6
..although I would have ground the rack bosses of the seatstay and filled them in too

Easy superjoe, yeah in my opinion converting an mtb can be a good route to a cheap Trick bike, especially if you got an old frame kicking around....
Strong, low top tube for better tricks, high bb, out of fashion so often selling cheap! Perfect!
Re-space and change dropouts. You will be limited to maximum chain ring size of about 38t for the right chain line, but with cog sizes down to 12t available - No problem even for speed.
owenreed,
Track ends about £80 up, but spend more and use a rated builder if converting a nice frame.....
Was gonna drill the dropout and fit a rack for a transporter / baby carrier sort of thing, which is why the rack bosses are still there, but a better frame came along for that job...
Transporter frame anyone?

Skid + ice* = instant faceplant (twice TBP).
Fun nonetheless. -
