You'll miss the front brake Ed if you don't have it

If it's a lack of lugged forks Ed, I've got a set of 1 1/8" 14mm lugged Redline forks you can have for the cost of postage? They're mid 2000's though so might be a bit weighty for your NS.

Dan at the minute anything that fits is going on there... but it is getting built

At the mo I've got some 2000 Haro forks on there from my Sport ( so I can run a front brake too ) but I've got an offer of a nice new pair from El'Stodgo a la RADSHOP

Thanks for the offer though bud

Dannywhac · « **Reply #105 on:** March 28, 2012, 04:27 PM »

No worries Ed

If you need a lendsy of a set of Profiles (not GDH's though) let me know fella

Also got a pair of white S&M Slams you can have a borrow of as well fella, as the bike they're on won't be used for a long old time

Had some profiles on my Sport cheers Dan so I'm using them - BB & headset arrived today so I got the BB in at lunchtime.

Just working on the forks now... first thing to change will be the chainwheel as my 42t Sugino looks a little wrong

... but I need a new rear wheel for that to run the little cog on a freecoaster... mmm can't wait for a freecoaster

... then forks

fugazi · « **Reply #107 on:** March 28, 2012, 04:35 PM »

What Freecoaster You going to run on it Ed?

no idea

but the idea of rollbacks without peddling makes me happy

got it built up with what I had from my Sport and took her out for a brakeless spin tonight ... felt GREAT!

griff · « **Reply #109 on:** March 28, 2012, 10:18 PM »

badass

ED209 · « **Reply #110 on:** March 28, 2012, 10:21 PM »

need to sort the chainwheel out asap... think I'll swap back to my Primo V-Monsters as well

QUADROPHENIA · « **Reply #111 on:** March 28, 2012, 10:36 PM »

Yep deffo needs a bigger chain ring

88t?

I'll get there Peter... need new wheels tho... spent up on the frame at the mo.

I'm sure it will be galvanized in my mind the first time I try and ride in over coping

Just needs a bashgaurd Ed...

Surprised the chainring even fitted on a new school frame

Lovely Ed - how does it feel geometry-wise - you likeing the standover on the bad-boy?

fugazi · « **Reply #117 on:** March 28, 2012, 11:04 PM »

That's going to be real nice when You've got it all sorted Ed

The KHE Astern/Federal V2 freecoaster is probably the best of a bad bunch out there at the moment, just stock up on driver bearings as they can mess up pretty quick. You could stick a retro looking bashguard sprocket on it if You're missing the Sport!

pickle · « **Reply #118 on:** March 29, 2012, 07:29 AM »

looks ace Ed

how does the high BB feel?

Clean · « **Reply #119 on:** March 29, 2012, 07:31 AM »

Looks pretty, Ed, although for some reason the pictures make it look a little "compressed"; what TT did you opt for?

Loving the DTT and '80s Haro style Paint / Chrome job.

I went 20.75 Rich and it feels fine ... I could have gone 21 I reckon but well happy with this

pickle · « **Reply #122 on:** March 29, 2012, 07:56 AM »

awesome! good to see the bars are in the 'correct' position

will look even better when you get the sprocket sorted

same as I had em on the Sport Rob - Lenny made me move them back some time ago under threat of having my tin foil privileges removed

Just held them up side by side and the wheelbase is the same but if anything the BB on the Sport is higher than the Supercross... I couldn't work out why Peter was going on about the high BB... well used to that

pickle · « **Reply #124 on:** March 29, 2012, 08:20 AM »

That's fine then, she should feel a little better then than the sport. The thing with the BB being high means you feel like you're being forced forward over the bars a little bit. WTP frames often come up like this. look at mine (the fly and the Goose) and you'll notice the chain stays are pretty much horizontal to the ground, where yours go upwards towards the BB.

But at the end of the day, if it feels right for you then all's rosey!
