My 2003 SUB
« on: October 22, 2014, 07:46 AM »
Not for the Mid school purists in here but thought I'd share it anyways  :)  I got the frame a while ago and have always loved the raw finish with the blue heat blemishes under the clear coat  :smitten:

It's a tad smaller that the normal 21" TT i normally go for but beggars can't be choosers, so I went for a top loading stem and some huge new bars.

I had a lot of the bits so all in all it cost about £60 to put together  :daumenhoch:

I built it up so i could ride it, rather than a museum piece so that's why it has modern stuff bolted on it  :daumenhoch:

2 Hip SUB frame
Volume Black Mamba forks
FSA Headset
Eastern top loading stem
Xposure Infinity bars 9.5 rise  :shocked:
Eclat wheelset
Unites tyres
Prolite Stealth cranks
Standard 28t sprocket
Cult seat
Alone clamp
Salt plus brake (£1 online)  :shocked:
Primo lever

Nice looking frame that. :daumenhoch:
Weird how it has the dented chainstay for larger sprockets but brake lugs on the seatstays.
A borderline ride if ever there was one. What's the chainstay length btw?

Very Nice!!! I only discovered this model of frame a few weeks ago, looking through the old 2-Hip catalogs. It's my fave 2-Hip frame now.

I have and I'll swap it with a bottleneck stem Pete.
Was that my old sprocket Rob, I've still got the matching stem somewhere.

Might be Gary, I think I sold it to munnyellow who then gave me it back  :4_17_5:

Just like 28t with a 9t rear rather than 25
