well its been done either way, so tough titty. i would be interest to hear your views, so i can scoff at them.

here it was.

i cleaned it and rode it and liked it but it wobbled and slipped.

so i boinged it a bit.

ive done a few more bits, like fitted another dirty harry, and routed the cables. and been throwm over the bars by the coaster.

but thats basically how it is now.

thoughts please.

I think it looks much better, what cranks are they ? & what forks ?
Nice dog, did you get it from Orb

the forks blend in nice

if it were mine, i would run some newschool pegs, and a straight post on it.
and pull the bars back a tad.
and the jury is still out on whether i can ride tuffs without them bending under my girth

looking good though. so much better for having good brakes.

Nice to see the spastic dog is in the shot though.

tricknuts · « **Reply #7 on:** November 23, 2005, 01:13 PM »

lets hope so. if not i will weld a gusset. you notice ive cleaned up the old shoe horn area?

the gt forks fit well with nu skool pegs, and i have some nice Ti ones but im loathe to put them on cos of the 10mm axles, which i have bent before now. we'll see about that at a later date. i need to do some ridin on it now, to iron out the flaws. but to tell you the truth, it feels very classy, from my initial drunken ride to the shop for more beer.

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #10 on:** November 23, 2005, 01:29 PM »

but i guarentee the grips will stay on, odi longnecks, the cranks wont wobble, redline proline, and with the 39 tooth chain ring, i wont be clippety cloppin on the copin, thats for sure.

that is still a prob that needs fine adjustment. when the bars are turned 360, it sticks a bit at 180.
i may need to change the bearins to a different size. i have big in the bottom, and smaller in the top. in the bottom cup, i have seen some wear through the chrome at the back of the cup. you would think it was through lack of ballbearings, ie they bunch up at a certain point. but it is stuffed with them. i may polish the fbm stem yet, si i will fiddle with them when i do that job
