very nice dan!

i agree with the peregrine pedal idea. the jps are lovely but peregrines would suit the flatland/mini frame

me thinks the mid school comp at mk08 will be interesting next year!

nice

Lazarou · « **Reply #3 on:** October 01, 2007, 07:06 PM »

Yep, Peregrine pedals, no blue bits and a slow and painful death to that seat! Otherwise i love it!!

harris · « **Reply #4 on:** October 01, 2007, 07:09 PM »

yep the blue bits have been bugging me badly so getting them stripped n polished.
seat is hopefully on its way.
pedals have been on then changed so will swop over.
now to start my mk08 pup now this is out the way nearly .

Dan! that is so sweet. I'd lose the blue also. I really dig that green. Pedals gotta go too. put some platforms on there.

Lazarou · « **Reply #8 on:** October 01, 2007, 07:17 PM »

With those parts polished it's going to be gorgeous!

Philbert · « **Reply #9 on:** October 01, 2007, 07:18 PM »

harris, me old buddy, me old pal, me old mukka, (sorry about the old). i have something that i'm gonna give you first refusal on. just because i like you and this is spot on for such a mid build.

i have sitting in my shed a super rare static freecoaster hub. could do with some new suntour inners. if your interested let me know and i'll pm you a price before it goes in the for sale section

I like the dark green, looks great with the chrome parts and the graveyard sprocket. Very sweet!

darkersomeday · « **Reply #11 on:** October 01, 2007, 07:19 PM »

I agree with the big fella

Very nice Dan

I dont really like the blue, esp the headset. Its all a bit Jimmy Savile ("jewelry jewelry").

Those ti axles in the jp pedals have got to help tho

harris · « **Reply #14 on:** October 01, 2007, 07:36 PM »

i can take it guys

it will be amended and partly the thread was for your thoughts
i just did enjoy building one more careful than i usually would
and a virgin frame is cool its history starts with me.

YGT · « **Reply #15 on:** October 01, 2007, 07:38 PM »

wohaaaay at last ...... looking good dan.
love the chrome fork with the green frame.

are they really standard strip bars (they seem to have alot of upsweep)

harris · « **Reply #16 on:** October 01, 2007, 07:40 PM »

yes original bars mark ,just stripped n painted.

I was going to say that about the up sweep. They look like a TV arial

If it was my bike (which it isnt)

I would loose the blue bits (polished only)
polish the stem
loose the graveyard / cranks / pedals.
replace with a 1pc, peregrine disk and peregrin pedals.
hand grenades (thats not meant as a tease)
and that gt seat thats in the post (hopefully)

so far its great bike though ... everyone will have an opinion.

EDIT ::::

pull the bars back a little (please)
and point the sadle up more if possible

YGT · « **Reply #19 on:** October 01, 2007, 07:45 PM »

are you sure these are real standard bars?

ron burgundy · « **Reply #20 on:** October 01, 2007, 07:53 PM »

Liking that, did you paint it? the colours stunning

Capt Canuck · « **Reply #21 on:** October 01, 2007, 07:58 PM »

I know what color my next bike is gonna be! that color is great.

harris · « **Reply #22 on:** October 01, 2007, 08:00 PM »

the bars look worse than they are, angle i guess but they are quite mellow.
its original paint never built i just painted the bars.

YGT · « **Reply #23 on:** October 01, 2007, 08:05 PM »

harris · « **Reply #24 on:** October 01, 2007, 08:08 PM »
