I really like these GTs! The spray-bombed wall actually doesn't look too bad, bless 'em!

That's beautiful, mate! What size is the frame?

Well if that unicorn does turn up, drop me a line about this baby!

Actually, what's the unicorn?

It's an FBM Bitchin Camaro, the first version. I've owned one & stupidly sold it.

Love those frames too!! What made you let go of that??

I built one a couple of years back. Man it's fun to ride, thing bloody flies.

I had to put it in storage a year ago.

It's in there lol.

2017 Speed in Pro XXL 21.25 IIRC. Might be a tad longer.
GT stem
Snafu Scotty Cranmer bars
ODY grips with Snafu ends
TRP Donny Robinson V brake with carbon lever
carbon post and seat (carbon rails also)
Shadow Orbis front rim on Spotlight Superstar hub (sealed)
Alienation Runaway rear on sealed hub (race, so threaded) 16t Shimano freewheel
Tensile CNC cranks on Kooka hollow BB (ISIS)
Hope bash guard (stop my bottoms getting ripped)
48t Stronglite sprocket
Bombshell F1 carbon fork
Snafu astroglide cable.
Tioga tyres (stagggered 2.2 front 2.0 rear)

I will get some proper pictures of it one day.

Found some old pics. Ignore the purple tyres they are long gone.

It's just high enough so if I sit down and my knees give out I can get up again.

I absolutely love that bike. Weighs about the same as a basket of soup, and absolutely rips. Every one should have a modern race machine TBH. You don't know what you are missing. Bloody great way to get fit too !

This thing is no joke. It absolutely flies. To the point where I scared myself a couple of times lol.

2020 Standard Bykes OS20 125R

Mikku · « **Reply #461 on:** August 25, 2020, 12:15 AM »

There's a few frames I really want to own or at least ride, and an SBC is definitely one of them!

HUTCHMAN · « **Reply #462 on:** August 25, 2020, 12:23 AM »

And that UB 2 !!

Amazingly this is the first Standard I've owned and I've had a LOT of bikes lol

Mikku · « **Reply #464 on:** August 25, 2020, 11:36 PM »

How are you getting on with the OS20 sizing?

Dingobmxer · « **Reply #465 on:** August 26, 2020, 09:37 AM »

Only ridden it once but it feels amazing

Mikku · « **Reply #466 on:** September 06, 2020, 09:46 PM »

I'd definitely like to have a go on a OS20 bike one day.

In the meantime, I present to you my latest race bike project. It's one of those Marmite frames I know but the opportunity unexpectedly came my way and I couldn't resist! If it rides as badly on the track as some people say, then I should be able to move it on quite easily but I must admit to loving the look of it. But then I love Marmite!

I love those frames

Mikku · « **Reply #468 on:** September 24, 2020, 01:52 PM »

Took it to the track for the first time on Tuesday!

How does it ride Mick?

Not bad, mate! I only had about 40 minutes on a damp track so it was difficult to form a reliable opinion but it felt fine size-wise. I'm hoping to get out again on Sunday, hopefully with drier conditions so I can get a better feel for it.
