« on: May 24, 2010, 08:59 PM »
Ok people... have brought one of these...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180505776116&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

this is going to be my daily rider so I need advice on the following :

- Bottom bracket - its pretty small and threaded - what do it need bb and crank wise? if you have anything you can sell me - whatever condition.. I'm interested.

- same for seat post and clamp - bigger than old school thats for sure... do I need a shim or a new school seat post?

away from home at sec but will put some measurements up when I get back..

thanks in advance for any help

I just sold one of these a few weeks back to Del. lol

The seatpost is 27.2 and seatclamp is a 31.8. I have a specialized carbon wrapped seatpost and blk seatclamp which will fir this

The bb is euro sized. I also have a set of Funn DH 180 Cranks with BB and 44T Chainring of a 09 Kuwahara Laserlite that will fit.

Also got a set of blk Redlne Flight forks barely used that will fit it to. You would need to buy a semi integrated headset if you didnt get one with the frame.

LMK if your interested and i'll sort out some pics

Marc :daumenhoch:

p.s. Have a couple of other options too

Black Redline 31.8 seatclamp, Black Eclat Complex Seat/Post Combo with correct shim if you want an almost slammed seat.

Chrome 175 Twin Pinch Flights (Like New) complete with Profile Euro BB but no Chainring

Thanks for the help Marc - clueless about new bmx stuff except for what James ( Heywoodbmx ) has tried to teach me.

Never had an aluminum frame... couldn't believe how light it was in the box :shocked:

Apologies for the 7-year thread resurrection but I was doing a bit of research on these framesets and this thread popped up! :daumenhoch:

Anyway, I'm trying to find the spec for these, so can anybody help? Do you still have your one Ed, or for that matter Del or Matt? Thanks in advance!
