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

Greyish would be classy, red or yellow could also work good with that blue color. There is a shop in schmiedt gasse with leather, you can buy cut offs at cheap....

If you go for colored saddle you'd need to lose those grips anyway.. what bits are you missing, maybe I can sort you out with something till you get your stuff?

Finally got this thing together and my pump gave up the ghost. Maybe tomorrow...

yeah still looking to swoop an older flite for it.

Pinch flat 2 blocks into my ride. Spare tube won't hold air. I give up for today.

keep the motivation levels up, don't let these minor hiccups get you down
that first sweet sweet ride is tantalisingly close
hope the sun is out where you are

basically this is my bikes spirit animal:

and some:

can't wait to see the " boom " as modelled by mr t above
you make sure you let us know when it's all done

well its for sure not a serious build but i hope it will ride/look ok when its done.

and always gotta rep Rick Ross as a florida native haha

I lost the god damn crank arm fixing bolt and now have to atempt to find one if i want to use this stupid thing any time soon.

Well after failing twice and ruining a whole sheet of leather I have recovered my laser saddle. I eventually gave up on the leather and cut up some clothes from the bin of things my wife planes to donate and voala. Looks pretty decent but will need some weather proofing applied.

Now just waiting for disc to arrive to order wheel graphics, then can get something special made for the front.

should have covered that saddle with denim
would fit with the america theme in the title

or an old stars and stripes ( not sure if it is sacrilegious to cut up an us flag ? )

The saddle was blue to start with and looked bad. The black is much nicer.

Well the bolt the LBS told me would totally work for may cranks showed up finally and it dosent. so im about ready to say screw it and buy diffrent cranks and deal with it over winter. every little ting is a fight it seems. Disc still hasnt shipped either. i guess this is why people buy off the peg haha.

what are your bb and cranks ?
pictures and pictures of the bolts
maybe the sharp eyed amongst us can get it right

They should be identical to the on one omnium copy's. I was told an m20 shimano bolt was right but it's too big. My thought is an m15 sram bolt like on the Gxp stuff. But I already wasted 10€ on one wrong bolt. So I dunno, I need to find a better lbs. I have some ugly squar taper shit I could throw on or try to buy something in the classified and shelve these till winter.

After fighting with the cranks for 2 weeks I decided to give up and grab something cheap off the forum.

But rougher haha

These will compliment the 1" fork :) What LBS are you going to?

the one on elisabethtinergasse gave me the bad info.

guess now im waiting on parts again. new cranks and rear disc should be here next week. hoping the cranks will look ok with a black ring to dress them down.

Well making some progress. Disc wheel has arrived.I will be needing to order up some bits, based on the axle design the simplest solution wil be a alen skewer with chain tensioners. Need to take a few mm out of the spacers and throw on a spnk freewheel adapter. But for now just waiting for new crankset arrive to make it rideable. And a terrible ipad picture after a bit of a washup and blacking the brakeing surface.
