nice, and the ss cranks suit it perfectly, normal profiles would look too skinny on that frame

yeah i really wanted SS for this build, cos alot of newschoolers still run profiles, i wanted people to be able to see the contrast! 

[gobshite]

nice,

i've got a nos in the bag kink guard that would suit that spot on,


warpig=legend.

yeah mate, ive got a Nos guard myself for it, just need a decent condition chainring- think the one i have ran a bog chain- it is mashed up!

little update on this rainy day



primo tenderizers (i found hidden in my garage! win)
primo rod, ideally wanted back but couldn't find one!
and the S&M seat ive had in my cupboard waiting for a ride to go on- was torn between this one or the black and white one i have,  i think ive chosen rite

[kev-s]

seat and pedals look nice and chunky so suit the frame well

you just need some chunky looking wheels next, maybe a set of alex supra e rims, they only weigh 845 grams each

cheers for the link mate, i was thinking some sort of crazy heavy triple walled radness

[kev-s]

no worries, its gonna be a proper midschool heavy weight 

[SaMAlex]

YEAHMAN. Gotta love a heavy build!

We've got matching bars, cranks, pedals, seat & post.

Alex is that yours?

Yep 

Its an extra short, custom flatland one that was made for the far east.
I found it NOS in a shop in the UK a few years ago.

nice find, ill have to get the scales out once mines done and find see who's is heaviest! it currently weighs in at 24lbs, more than my complete LTF!

[andy_116]

hahaha.  My Bennett weighed around 34/35 complete when  it was finished.  And thats using new school parts 

Lets see the LTF Andy?

i can only guess what the warpig will weigh in at then 

and the LTF, its wet outside but the most recent pic i have is this one, ive had it since last christmas- best frame ive ever run- imagine it with slightly bigger 4 peice and no doughnuts and thats how she sits now:

[Bettyswallocks]

Can we have a guess the weight when its finished?

I'll go for 39.5 lbs....

well Alex's HAF certainly lives up to its name! I tried to pick it up once. lol.

[SaMAlex]

I would weigh it but I dont have a set of scales. Not fishing scales, bathroom scales, nothing.
I have no idea how much I weigh, let alone any of my bikes 

[JT71]

put it on your Wii fit board!

(note: this is also an excellent way to weigh a suitcase if going abroad)

[Dr.Robotnik]

Nice build this. Looking forward to the finished article.

[SaMAlex]

put it on your Wii fit board!

On my WHAT?
FFS!!!! 

[JT71]

oh I thought you had one of those Wii boards! lol.

 

[fugazi]

That's going to be tough when it's finished  get some Supra E's on it as well! I'm going for 42lbs if the E's are used.

[andy_116]

haha im liking this guess the weight competition my bet is 38lbs

 

[kev-s]

my guess is 45lbs
