do it!

Cross posting from CP… :)

I dropped off my ESB to Super Ted earlier this week. He replaced my stays with wider ones to allow for up to 2.25" tyre clearance. I'll be ordering something fat after Christmas – maybe Halo Twin Rail 2.2 or Conti Race King 2.2 for full on winter mode. Anyway, yesterday I picked it up from Armourtex and built it straight up.

To give you an idea of clearance, those are 45c tyres on there right now and the wheel is slammed in the dropout. :)

(Cheers to Apollo for lending me his finest hairspray.)

Will, I've been inspired.
It's gonna be fixed, front hydraulic brake, MTB cranks and BMX platforms and restraps or ATACs.
Rigid Carbon forks, gonna be a beast.

^^ sick.

my vote is for Conti Race Kings - anything knobbly from Conti is grippy as fuck, plus the orange logo against the black will look boss

^^^despite thinking you were a fool. That shit is so boss!!!! Definitely in for buriser ride on the 30th!

^^^^ how many gear inches is that ? I never seen a bike geared like that & I am curious

I'm probably wrong, but I think Dom's running 36x14 which puts it in the low-mid 70's

JB has a bruiser???

I'd love to have a go on that bowling down the middle of the road :)

JB has a bruiser???

Hahahaha must spread rep etc

It will be mine.

After looking at some of the last couple of bikes I'm wondering where you'd draw the line between bruiser and FGFS bike....

Kinda tempted by this

swapped to fixed, remove the brakes and with higher bars.
Oh and a quick rattle can.

Hhhm Sumo there's a scissor on eBay for £250.

I don't like how low the BB is on the Scissor.

Doesn't the scissor have 0 bb drop?

Doesn't the scissor have 0 bb drop?

Whut?

The BB is at the same height as the hub.

No BB drop.

you're looking at this year's model, the one on ebay is last year's model.
