I have been enjoying my riding so much I decided to succumb to the lure of lightweight, modern engineering design and have gone over to the dark side.

A big thanks to our very own Gashead for sorting this fantastic deal

I have tweaked the components, and colourway - see, I is even spitting New School, now - courtesy of some very shrewd eBay dealings, but the original inspiration is Ollie Gashead's - all credit due!

So here is my 2010 Federal Steve Hamilton Signature Frame, finished raw, wearing:

* Unknown Forks and Bars
* Sun Rhyno Lites laced to Seventies Hubs wearing Shadow Conspiracy "The Truth" rubber
* Macneil Swaggercell Stem
* Fit Bike Co Integrated Headset
* Macneil Conjoined Cranks wearing a Stereo Rewind Sprocket (25t) running on a United Mid BB
* Primo Josh Stricker Pedals
* Odyssey Aaron Ross Space Bar Grips
* Macneil Stump Pivotal Post
* Federal Slim SL Pivotal Seat
* Federal Slim Seatpost
* Dia Compe Dirt Harry Lever
* Alone Linear Cable
* Macneil Cable Strap
* Primo E-Brake (impending swap for a soon-to-be-rawed Fly Brake steal spotted by Pickle)
* Vocal Screech Pads

Edit - and a white chain on backwards, apparently!

The geometry is perfect for me, and the build is strong, light and whippy.

Big thanks to Nick for being such a genuine and fair bloke in his dealings.

Roll on The Boardroom / Ramp City / Terminal 1...... the Vanderoll to Cowboy Barspin is no more!

Cue the abuse...........................

very nice, you'll not regret it i love both my S&M and KHE so much. I do favour the older S&M more thoguh, my riding came on leaps and bounds from riding new school

I'd have to put a front brake on, just to piss the kids off

It doesn't piss em off most of em want a go, you end up having to ask for your bike back...

First outing for my New Schooler this weekend past at the Leicester Boardroom with the Usual Suspects, and I can honestly say I have never had so much confidence in a kid's bike!

Fooking awesome!

brettypeeps · « **Reply #22 on:** October 31, 2011, 01:19 PM »

Very nice bike Rich

and good to see you at the BR on Saturday

Spen69 · « **Reply #23 on:** October 31, 2011, 01:36 PM »

Great photoshop skills Rich, how did you get the pic of you and your bike onto the back-drop of the Boardroom so convincingly

Had a go on this on saturday - it turns nice and looks pretty (for a N/S of course!) so you'll be droppinging into the big bowl at Terminal One in two weeks no problem buddy
