insanity!

That's awesome, I wish I had someone do a good job as you do in my vicinity (Germany)... It frustrates me nobody is doing it right over here

this is going to be a nice little runaround!

sorry for the utterly shit pic, just to get an impression.

The BB axle is somewhat misplaced, and because I don't have the BB tool at hand I can't insatll the cranks yet :(

ok:)

You've ridden through the forest exactly once. Hold your horses young man

and a rear mech hanger while you're at it +1 for versatility, so you'll have it all in one bike

-edit: and please forget belt drive systems, it's just far too fuckin expensive yet. And I know you, you'll get bored of it in no time anyway;)

Why don't you just send the frame back to Jacek to get disc tabs brazed on?

Ah sorry, no I got the non disc ones. There's no disc tabs on the frame or forks.
Looking forward to the 1x1, it's been yonks since I had any kind of mtb.

Oh didn't even notice that, I thought all 1x1s came with disc + V options. What's the production year?

It keeps reminding me of your krabo lo pro

I'll see how far the seatpost is going to take me:)

The colour is really nice in the flesh

I can't figure out, did you get the disc version of the hubs? If so def. go for discs!

very nice frame btw. I own a 1x1 aswell, love it to bits:)

well, shit..

I was looking for a nice 27.0 setback seatpost which was long enough forever..

any suggestions?

Are the easton seatposts really prone to fail?? Never heard anything negative about them so far...

RIH Amsterdam and RIH Vienna are two different builders / companies.
The same name is just a coincidence

Hi all,

so last year I bought this piece of shit fixie skidder on ebay for next to nothing, because I saw potential. It's a RIH super made in Vienna (not the dutch builder)

I always wanted a nice steel track frame drilled front and back for singlespeeding purpose. In fact the original fork wasn't drilled, that's why the previous owner installed the road fork you see below, however the original fork was ready to be drilled.

How I got it:

Original forks drilled and installed + a couple of new parts fitted I rode it around like this for a couple of months:

It was nice but the paint was in really bad condition and the rust needed some treatment. The headset was knackered, the cranks were shit Miche ones and the brake cable routing zip tied to the top tube was pretty ugly.

So I decided to rebuild the whol thing, get internal cable routing brazed and a new paint job.
Off to Krautscheid Junior (Krabo) Bochum it went:

I wasn't really bothered what paint to get (shocker), so I asked him what he had in stock, he said Ferrari red. Okay why not:

New headset (Tange NJS) and BB fitted

The parts:

SG 75
Paul Levers
Sram calipers
pearl stem
VO Milan bars
brooks tape
izumi chain
WI freewheel
pedals are going to be some simple MKS platforms
maybe a wald front rack which I have lying around
wheels are the same (Mavic open pro, phil wood hubs)
etc.

I still need a seat post bolt and the I'll assemble it all:)

And still looking on decal options, might get some simple vinyl plots

that looks fun! well done

I don't understand icloud

epic!

should have gone for discs on the SSCX!!

ah come on, no need for a disc brake on such a build..

• If you decide to take it on the track sometime, you'll have much more hassle removing the brake. Not to mention the new front wheel you'll have to get built aswell..
  

^^what's that thing on the rack, a car battery? rad!
