Has anyone cut the seatpost yet

There's one with a seatpost fitted on the BMX museum site . . . http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/subrosa/32632.  Reckon they look much better with the standard pivotal though.  I've just ordered a red one      . . . can't wait!

the new subrosa laydback pivotal post would look good

[muttley]

Sorry but that thing on the museum looks bloody awful.

I'll second that, I think the bars kill it the most.

where??  link?

I like the bars but it'd do itself a massive favour with 6" off the seatpost - still if you're gonna chop off the pivotal may as well run a flagpole  .  Mine will be staying 

[pickle]

yep that does look all wrong!? 

[oldschool rider]

I think it looks wrong because the seatpost is too high and the Forklifter bars don't do it any favours, also I feel lookin at them built up that the top tubes seem too close together, someone do a nice level photo of theres from the back please.


Cheers,
Steve.

[telelogic]

they are much closer together than an old Haro or Torker.

[mamadirt]

Mine's just arrived along with a load of new (budget, for now) parts to build it up .



Yeah, toptubes are pretty close together.  Love it to bits  .  Oooooh, it's gonna be a good birthday 

 

[Robbo]

Very nice dude, have fun building!!!

[mamadirt]

Cheers - I will do  - looking good so far.

[subversion]

Cheers - I will do  - looking good so far.

Are you cutting the pivotal clamp off yours dude?

[oldschool rider]

Thanks for posting the pics mate, You should get a job with Subrosa your pics are much better than theres  .

Looks really nice in Red and with the balck & white parts should look really nice


Cheers,
Steve.

[mamadirt]

Cheers! 

The pivotal will stay for the time being - does feel weird though with the seat that low even though I'm only short . . . we'll see.

31.12:  Quick update.  All done and looking good . . . brakeless at the mo' as my new brake appears to have a faulty linear spring  .  Picked up a bargain Evolver anyway (£15 red/blue and £25 black - check out this link - http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx'modelID=45364)

I'll start a new thread once it's properly finished.
