My memories of Mid School are pretty much drooling over GT and Hoffman bikes. I saw this frame set going on here for a pleasant price and just liked the look of it. It's a little later than I would have been coverting back in the day as it's a 2001 Dave Voelker Metal Issue but like I say.......I just liked the look of it. I've learned a lot whilst putting this together as previously I'd had no experience of threadless forks, 3 peice cranks & U-brakes. Such luxuries were simply out of my price range BITD. I even bought some NOS Odyessy sealed hubs and laced them myself which I rather enjoyed and they roll sooooo smooth.
The only thing doing my head in is the brake squeel. I put the wheels on yesterday and the brake squeel had gone. I changed the front sprocket today and now the brake squeel is back
The pads are Odyssey ghost pads which are designed already toe'd in and none adjust in that sense. Any ideas on how to make them stop screaming?
My next toy is going to be a Hoffman Taj. Bought from Philbert on here and signed by Taj himself back in 2007. I was intending it to be a slow and steady build but I've already got some Hoffman Super forks, Slam bars and Profile Crank so it may be a little quicker than anticipated
