Ah at last!!!!
Thanks Joe, nice to know it wasnt just me  :LolLolLolLol:

I am gonna do that to a Profile hip stem but anno it black afterwards I think?

 :) DINGO :)

looks clean as a whistle eh? :LolLolLolLol:

i'll say it again though amigo,

nothing i've seen on here or 99% of the other bike forums i use even comes close to that build.

i think whether folk "like" it or not is largely irrelevent, anyone feel free to show me a better build? :LolLolLolLol:

Ah even those oddy forks are only half way there. I wanna see some director forks with just a 10mm hole on each side (maybe slightly slotted to get the wheel in straight). No pinch bolt mech, just a thro bolt!

When I get a hip stem I will take that whole front end over to my mate to sort the stem out and tidy up the axle/bolts to make it look sleeker.

Joe I am with you mate, a lot of builds on here have a LOT of work and attention to detail but I dont think any of us have gone that far?
although there was the bike at MK with all the machined stuff on it and that was NIIIICEEE

 :) DINGO :)

some amazing stuff there,


like the attention to detail on it, the dropouts remind me a bit of GTs pacman dropouts,

no one can deny the craftman ship on that build,

respect.

nice machining on joes pics, but even with all that effort the white bike looks gay  ;D

hip stems are good though, i've got one, never had any prolems with them slipping like some people have said and i like that polished cover  :daumenhoch:

The best thing about the whole tread on ridemonkey was seeing that the thing gets ridden and not just put in a glass case!!!!!!!

very nice workmanship and a couple of nice ideas (hidden rear wheel nuts and seat clamp/stem mod is 1st class).

the innovation, craftmanship, and attention to detail are outstanding and i have the utmost respect for the guy who's done it all. i love the white with the polished and ano red parts. the hope lever blades and resavoir caps look ace in red.

however. i'd rather see all that on a frame and fork that aren't quite so radical. the thing i like most about it is all the machining that makes all the smooth lines and gives quite a simplistic look but then the frame and fork makes it look a bit 'busy' for me. definately don't like the forks! and the rear stays on the frame look shite. i'd keep all the engineering qualities but just 'sexy' the frame and forks up
