Orlowski Lo-Pro

Until you've ridden straps on BMX pedals you will never appreciate how epicly rad they are... No comparison to cages.

I meant not tasteful rather than not rad. And the rad is what matters most.

Almost as tasteful as your kicks...

Whatever suggestions to improve the build will not lessen my regret that I don't own that frame. Chain appears blue, which I'm sure it isn't. Cranks look excellent, I'd be dropping the stem a touch. Nicely done. Want.

Love it! good effort, I like the wheels, they really suit it. maybe mirror polish deeeeep but I don't think carbon would suit the frame...?

Wheels are pretty shiny, he only needs to give them a good polish.

needs bigger ring ;)

Almost..

they would match this frame actually, spotter you should get some.

+5 or 6

Oh and my red zipp on the back to go with your zipp front, then it will be mega slave and you can be like colin arlen and macaframa yo....

That looks really nice Spotter. Top job.

thanks everyone for the complements.

Ok, well, just be careful, I found riding a lo pro the equivalent to fitting a racey exhaust to a Datsun... Makes you wanna live FAST!

Just went for a spin down to my work and back, felt bloody nippy. Having now ridden it i know now i need to lower the saddle by 2 cm and get stem thats a hair longer. The 3TTT chrome pro's are quite cheap on PX so i might get a 100mm one.

I really like that style of stem if anyone has one they don't want before i buy it?

finally

now i am well jelly and want to build something like that for myself!..

dooooooo it

regarding the pedals, have you tried doublestraps and quad gate if you don't want clipless? I wear size 13 and have never had any issues.

I haz some all black Eighthinch track pedals (wide for big feet) with BLB double straps and quad cages if you want to try them out...

The main problem i find with cages is that when i need to skid i have a habit of pointing my toes down so my feet slide back, and out, of the cages.

As Malaysian says nothing feels as quite as secure as big fat straps and pedals.

Cheers Paul, the chain is just the wippermann basic one. That stem can;t actually go any lower becuase its super long, i think its of a mixte so its meant to be quite high. As i said above i'll probably replace it.

double zipps is a good idea

Ha, I'm just looking for a stem like that for the Dolan... Wanted an italmanburi really but that looks good. Link me?

I would definitely recommend trying bullhorns at some point, alot of fun.

^ You're not having mine. Not a chance

Too scratched up for porn anyhow...

(:

This.. Do it.. Look great though, although my vote would go to bullhorns.. Cranks also are a treat..

The last thing on earth you want hanging out the back of your slave is a tubular disc.

come on guiz.

I've only got OS bullhorns knocking about atm, so i'll get some in the future

^ You're not having mine. Not a chance

yours a tubs aren't they? rubbish for skidding.

Speaking of which i forgot how grippy new gatorz till you skid them a few times. it was like being glued down just now.

Too scratched up for porn anyhow...

(:

its made it to the sled thread, that good enough.

I forgot to say when i just when for a quick ride it was all fine, stopped a few times to get my straps right etc until i got back to the house and couldn't get my foot out the straps fast enough and fell over sideways on the drive. thankfully no-one was about, because i looked like a total dickhead.

That comment was directed at Oz.'s stem bro, Orlowski could be porn in no time.

What OS bullhorns ya got? I've got some 26mm but need some 31.8...

i really want a lo-pro now :(

profile airwings' what you got?

... profile airwings.

I was after some 0 drop but could achieve same by not flipping my stem, want swap?

Think mine have a couple of scratches...

very nice build jack.

It looks really nice, great call on the cranks, they are beauty's. Damn I want a lo pro.

Corrected

Same as mine. Mine was only £10 from condor. You wanna hook up?
