Not looked too much into any of the meets as yet as it'll be easier to meet up at a weekend while giving the new ride a go.

Ive got so far:

ACS Z-Mags
MX900 brakes
Am'e Tri grips in white
Redline flight chainwheel 45 tooth
NOS GT platform pedals (got to change these for some 9/16th ones)

The rest of the stuff is being sought as we speak.

As soon as i get the rest of my stuff it'll be built and piccies taken - rest assured.

I'm just building up an aero reflex, and this is a daft question, but whats the best way to fit the front wheel

?
The forks are too narrow at the bottom for a standard 10mm axle....!

pickle · « **Reply #31 on:** September 29, 2006, 03:26 PM »

Not a stupid question mate, they're designed to take the 10mm axles which are flattened on either side (like the tuffs front axle) what i did was just file the axle away a little on either side of the hub, you don't need to do much though.......just file a little then check, file a little then check again

excellent, thanks for the tip - I must admit I'm impressed with the quality of the F+F, yours is a sweet build!

barty74 · « **Reply #34 on:** September 29, 2006, 06:17 PM »

i just posted a reply about aero f+f in the wanted section!!!
are these frames nice and light? seriuosly want to put one together. thats a nice looking build btw

pickle · « **Reply #35 on:** October 02, 2006, 08:45 AM »

Not as light as my street beat but it's not heavey that's for sure! take it from me (and many others on here) the quality of these frames are spot on! for £30 or so you cannot buy a better frameset mate.......they're a great ride too!

Good job i've bought a complete bike from Aditup2004 then.

Im well pleased that this is my 1st ride.

It'll either stop the desire for a Haro or fuel it, either way im well chuffed.

Any news on those new decals? I really don't like the stock ones.

kusam · « **Reply #37 on:** October 02, 2006, 09:37 PM »

My F & F should be here in a couple of days

Just gotta decide what colour to go for and all the rest of the stuff that goes with it

And I like the decals, they're stayin

Youve got to go black and orange then, Orange tuff II's with some panaracer tyres.

I did consider that for mine if i built it from scratch.

Seeing as i haven't it's not gonna happen, although i've got some black z-rim mags to stick on it and some Dia Compe MX900's.

Wonder if my Redline Flight chainwheel will fit on that crank too.

??

kusam · « **Reply #39 on:** October 02, 2006, 09:44 PM »

Not yet, Aditup2004 is away until after the 18th, so delivery after that.

Looking forward to it.

As said before, i need to get rid of the stock decals as i think theyre pap.

The decals are a love em or loathe em kinda item, I like Pickles fresh look without em, but I'm also partial to them as well. It's a top frame and fork and I think you've made a great choice

. Check this link as an alternative (GT Performer decals) Reflex
