second thoughts for bones

[matt]

ive just been for a blast on my rickman, and you guessed it i lost my shoe twice in the rear foot pegs, im now thinking no good for bones until the footpegs have gone, but i only have race bikes, im not sure what to do ??

[Bob_Acid]

file a few inches off the back of your foot and go and buy some size 6's   

[matt]

now why didnt i think of that     doh !!  cheers bob   

[harris]

you could get some string and tye your feet on in the right place.sorted

[tricknuts]

Don't do a full crank revolution. just do little cranks and backpedal. It should be Ok  if you have a freewheel

I think ORB had a Rickman and cut them off no? I guess thats a bit like a bike circumcision

[Holmetech]

Try wearing some boots,they wont be pulled off.(not knee length stileto's though!

[Bob_Acid]

at the end of the day a skatepark is not like riding around on the street, you won't need to pedel much anyway. if i were you i'd just stick with it and adapt your foot position for when you do have to, like i do when i have the baby carrier on my big bike....

you sound Just like Me mate 

but with More skills

big grinder. you never have to think about the problem again. some came without standers anyway.

if your planning on riding it more than once, get them off. if your are just using it for tonight, leave them on.
 they are a lovely bike to ride tho, i have 800+ quids worth of new school, and i still prefer the rickman.

your call.

with....


without......




painted up....

[theRuler]

even just a hacksaw
lop em off, and clean it all up at a later date

they gotta go though, unless you have little feet

[ORB]

Matt, dont cut em off mate, its such a shame.

You can buy many other frame as a rider, just dont kill it!

  at Mr Bronson av.

[matt]

ok problem solved, i took a gas axe to it, unfortunatly i slipped and cut the seat mast off     only joking orb ive managed to get my hands on a redline for tonight    

[theRuler]

the rickmans shipped with or without the standers
it will look fine without!!

[ORB]

i disagree, why cut a perfectly good bike up, if you want one without standers, buy one without!

[theRuler]

lol dont cut the bike up
just the standers!!!

the reason for this is best reason of all - to make it better to ride
those rickman frames are great. a good size, nice and strong, good angles
just need to drop the rear standers and get some ad lugs welded on and it's the basis for dope rider

personally i'd also get some different forks on there, without the unnecessary 'factory rake'

check out phil's rickman tonight.  it's sorted out good.
