America is all about speed. Hot, nasty, badass speed

Maverick, Ice man.... these are not gay names. Goose, shit ill give it to you thats pretty gay.

how long did you wait for mielec?

About 8 weeks

Found some replacement forks on the forum. This thing might be rideable just in time for the heavy snow.

About 8 weeks

Damn, still gotta wait 6 long weeks... anyway, I am also in Austria and also need to figure out my knee injury problems! You've got a nice ride there considering I had to pay 300 Euro just for Mielec...

Well originally quoted 10weeks. Best thing to do is check in every few weeks. Now I just need to gather the final bits and find a place with the tools I need in graz to put it together.

the new forks to replace the too much rake too tall forks i had laying around.

the question I have now is what to paint the? try for a rattle can color match or keep black. or some bright ass contrasting color?

Fluro orange or pink.

bit garish but that could work.

Blue with white vinyl stars?

you have 1" headtube or 1 1/8" -> 1" headset?

Frame is built for a 1" headset

thanks man, great to know that there is such an option.

Minor update.
Pedals are ordered, platforms since this is no that serious of a bike and so i can make use of some burro pedal straps I have had squirled away for like 4 years. Have to support my home state a bit. http://www.burrobags.com/

This build, it's missing something....

...a technicolour flite?

yes, and money to buy it from you haha

Guys in the bike kitchen will probably have the wrenches you need, you might try visiting Bicycle shop in Körösistraße, they are quite friendly and may or may not lend you do the tools (try going there in the afternoon)!

Good call on the bike kitchen.

Some more build inspiration

So new fork showed up tightens up the front nicely. Sadly the axle in my plastic wheel is to fatt for the new fork dropouts, so there is a new problem to solve. It's looking like its a 10mm axle 9mm fork situation. No more precise measurements possible at the moment.

Edit:
Looked closer, it's off by a hair. I'm gonna file this bitch and be done with it.
Wildcard bitches

minor update, just ordered a gatorskin for my tubi trispoke to hopefullyyyy make this thing a little less sketchy. Hoping to make it to the bike cooop tomorrow to assemble an maybe ride a bit.

I think this shell be the first Mielec in town :)

We will see its been here for weeks and still have not gotten to ride. Some of the new bits won't make it from America till February but will hopefully be rideable this week.

Well didn't get around to putting it together but I did get the fork filed and fitted for the most part.
