In keeping with the rest of the fraternity, here is my freshly built Dialled cruiser.
I know I'm a little behind the curve on this one but seeing as I acquired it late...
New frame, S&M XLT race forks, XLT race stem, S&M 5.75 bars, grips and seat clamp.
The rest is straight off the old Redline Flight Pro.
The coke can? Shimming the old seat post as can I bu66ery find a 27.2 pivotal in stock in any shop in the UK!
23.7 lbs with pretty standard fare - no Ti stuff, no Kevlar tyres, nothing super trick. Well impressed!
Anyways, not wanting to ever say a bike makes you a better rider (it doesn't); I took it round Crewe today and loved it. Rode nice and I felt at home straight away.
Also - it has to be said it went together no probs. Everything works with no drama.
And finally, I also found out my old redline clearly has a shorter back end - given that my chain wouldn't fit on this one
