The Remo finally got me off a Haro. I've always had Haro's for as long as I can remember. Working for them also helped I guess?
But Remo hooked me up a new frame & fork combo so I built it up last night... well, I got so far then realised I didnt have a fookin socket set to put the wheel's on so I'd like to thank old Santy Clause for sorting that this morning!! Anyway, the kids are finally in bed so thought I'd post these up...

UnKnown Bike Co. Evo frame 20.6tt & 13.75c/s (made of feathers & string & lighter than a tip top drink WITH the straw in!)
UnKnown Bike Co. BadaBing (?) also made of feathers & string but twice as heavy as normal because of the Apple sticker
FSA Headset
Premium lite stem
Premium Lite bars
Haro grips
Tech 77 (what else?)
Premium pivitol seat & post
Premium Lite front wheel 36 w/ Haro multisurface
Odyysey hazard cassette w/11t on Sunn rim w/ Premium tyre
Premium (not so) Lite cranks
Super* spanish BB
Premium 25t chainring
Haro FR pedals (these pedals are super good)
Sputnic Hammer pegs x2
Got to put chain on & brake which is also UnKnown Bike Co. but Santa didnt bring me the ability to set a brake up OR a chain breaker!

I wasnt too keen on the gloss black finish so for £7 I got a can of matt black, found a can of gold up the old mans & did my own thing, I like it.
Thanks to Remo & the Vicar for the UnKnown stuff.
James @ Zeal
& the fat guy in Cali.... even though I hate you I cant help but like you (if that makes any sense?)

Hairy lil' legs?

TwoBobRob · « **Reply #12 on:** December 26, 2008, 08:51 PM »

That's what I hear........

Good christmas?

DJ · « **Reply #13 on:** December 27, 2008, 08:23 AM »

Yeah 'Twas a good Xmas.... The kids give it a renewed meaning (& cost!)
Even though, it's a story state of affairs when u start looking forward to tools, socks, boxers & aftershave huh?
Praise the lord for my wife & the 3g iPhone she got me, top girl!
Saying that, I am looking at 6.7 litres of Jack Daniels which was all aquired by me on thursday also!

TwoBobRob · « **Reply #14 on:** December 27, 2008, 09:41 AM »

For a moment, I thought that was going to read '6.7 litres of American muscle car'.......

but no. Once again you've built me up, then knocked me down!

Do you still work for Haro?

DJ · « **Reply #15 on:** December 27, 2008, 01:05 PM »

Oh no no no.... Stopped that a while back now, last June actually! Them dropping Hennon was too much for me so I went also.
Shame really cause I think I did a good job, we had a great team & the image was improving but hey, business men want to save $500 a month then so be it. I wont be a part of anything I dont believe in..... Mmmmmmm Im not bitter AT ALL

Also, it is 6.7 litres of American muscle, just not in an automobile!

TwoBobRob · « **Reply #16 on:** December 28, 2008, 03:56 AM »

Tis a shame for sure. The suits getting in the way once again.

harris · « **Reply #17 on:** December 28, 2008, 07:31 AM »

nice ride that dj.

DJ · « **Reply #18 on:** December 28, 2008, 08:59 AM »

Ignorance at it's best Rob, now theres now European program at all, not even 1 rider!

Harris: Cheers mate, I like it. I think once Ive made a new crank axle from dowel & replaced the tubes with cotton wool balls it should weigh in quite low?

teamsano · « **Reply #19 on:** December 29, 2008, 12:19 AM »

josh_spratty · « **Reply #20 on:** December 29, 2008, 12:26 AM »

What, a bike that belongs to DJ?

? It'll snap under the weight of dust it'll collect before it snaps under the weight of him ever riding the thing!!

still within a few weeks from reports ive heard of these frames

ah young Joshua, so much too learn...

If it doesnt come from a certain factory or made by a certain person, ridden by certain people or reviewed in certain publication(s) then of course, people will hear things & thus causing said products to break...

Mine personally will easily break with the weight of dust as Rob so nicely pointed out.... I do want to ride it, REALLY I do!
