Dragonfly DFX :: More done 07/07/12

[Jaymz]

Had some tasty parts arrive recently for the dragonfly [Oh look I actually bought parts, I have money!]

So a OG double dragonfly clamp off ebay, bye bye double bubble DNA, Sweet Oddy Cobra from Neil, S&M Redneck off someone on Facebook, bye bye Primo Casket, Jive grips from Egg [ages ago and robbed off my General lee] Jive donuts from somewhere, and had a eureka moment with fitting a lever to the cut down knee savers, use a hinged lever, so stole the primo lever from the General and bang, fits over the fat part of the bar nicely

Almost there now, just a sprocket change left, really not happy with 36/16 gearing, I wanted my 44t Xposure bashguard [cheers danny] on it, BUT, the b'stard scrapes the AD990 , so some head scratching before total finish

BEFORE:



anyway on with the rainy day pics

Looks cool 

Maybe a chrome/polished sprocket but looks cool as is

you will find that you cant get 44t on it matey they are designed for 39 i belive or 36 smallest .i have same problem on me king frame the 44t it as good as touching the frame w,so take it its designed for 39 t as 36t makes the chain hit the brake too

I was wondering if that was the case fella, as even if i spaced the chainwheel from the frame to get a 44 on, the chain would be out of line

bit more done today as i was bored and started to tinker

Oddy giro and cables, and a demolition giro plate and izumi chain [that i got stung on ages ago on another forum as its only short, but fits the odd 'child like ' gearing i have on this]




Need a black top cable really, but it kinda brings out the orange in the seventies logos on the rims,but had this one off the general,  which is looking sorry for itself in bits at the moment

and im umming and arring about the chain after fitting it
