if jetski doesn't take the forks then i definitely will. in other words, second dibs. just pm me if it falls through.
-
I emailed Fort about the serial number on my frame and apparently FO means it is a Fort and the first number is the year it was made. So mine was FO5**** (so FO then 5 numbers like yours) and that meant my frame was from 2005.
-
why all the spokes?
-
did you get the frame checked out with the forks? (in case it got damaged with the fork)
-
i want the condor track forks but there's no one in dublin who can thread them for me :(
-
i'm starting to consider this thread to be "less judgmental porn" more than "rat bikes, beaters etc."
-
I'm after one around 90-100mm too. got any pictures rik? i'd be interested so if that's ok with the op
-
i would love those forks if they were threaded... damn
-
i used to really like the look of the low but the toe overlap looks (and is supposed to be) fairly ridiculous.
-
not very likely i know but if you ever split the fork from the fort i'd be very interested...
-
i might want that, got any pictures?
-
i might be interested in the steel one with the 56cm toptube. could you mail me a link too? as long as supersonik zlad doesn't want it of course.
-
Quick question, I've got a friend who wants to swap his drops for straight bars so I was wondering if these bmx levers would work ok with standard road calipers?

i really wish i had a bike of the right vintage for these... bump

somebody discovered cycleangelo i see...

lots of good points there danifoffa but just a couple of things... first, the fact that your parts come from the same factory as other branded parts does not make them branded. for example, you find many cheap carbon frames on ebay that are sold unbranded because they didn't meet the standards of the big company that ordered them (those pinarellos spring to mind). so, just because they come from the same place doesn't necessarily guarantee the same standard. (EDIT: the fact that they're unbranded doesn't mean they're poor quality either)
also, about people dredging up your previous issues, i reckon that's going to keep happening until you get more public feedback from new satisfied customers so you'll probably just have to learn to deal with it.finally, i reckon your prima builds have actually looked really nice and while i don't personally like the ciao i think that will do good too. just keep patient and eventually your brand will get stronger. unfortunately your previous mechanic really did a great job of wrecking it in the first place.
good luck -
Well my langster has bitten the dust. Too much in appropriate use I think.
It was being used like this
and this happened. A bit tricky to tell what is ging on as it was in a cupboard and I could get it out to photo propperly. Basically the drive side chain stay has snapped near the drop out.
Is it possible to get this weld back together? I know with steel it's easy but with aluminium? Also what are the chances it's beginning to fail elsewhere?If it's not looking great I'll get a new frame. I'm thinking a pompetamine or a karate monkey. The karate monkey look really nice but you can't run a rear disc and a rear rack which is annoying. Any opinions on these frames?
I may keep the langster, fix and use it as a beater as it was my first bike - sentimental like.
my mate got a crack in his langster in exactly the same place about a year ago and specialized replaced it under warranty.

close this thread and start a new one. no one will begrudge you that given the amount of crap in here. it really is a very good price...

i'd be extremely tempted by the dolan if it had lugged track forks... anyway good luck with the sale, very good prices on everything
