Finally scored a padset off Fugazi to add the finishing touch to my S&M
I know its not to everyones taste the mix and match look, but I just loves it!!

Poor pics as it was getting dark, shame really as I was intending on fitting a new chris king headset to it

How I got it off Greg

and now after some tweaks [grips, saddle, stem, pad set

CURRENT SPEC:
S&M RV frame - lugs removed [before i bought it] was raw and the original decals etched into the frame, then powdered blue over the top - then i added decals from del over the top
Fly race bars
Sunn forks
FSA pig headset - soon to be gold Chris King headset
Shimano XT cranks
Eclat pedals
Demolition Stealth stem
Pro lite seat clamp
Odyssey pitbull rear brake
Dia Tech dirty harry lever
Odyssey Aaron Ross Keyboard grips and bar ends
Jive donuts [now on my DK with my Jive grips]
repop padset
Sun Black Box rims laced to prolite hub [rear] suzue hub [front] blue spokes
Maxxis Grifter tyre [front] comp lll copy [rear]

changes I want to make

So on went the chris king headset, what a joy to fit, slipped in like butter, no swearing or throwing tools

I cant decide whether to go with the stem pad or not. WDYT?

mattuknc · « **Reply #8 on:** January 14, 2012, 05:53 PM »

No stem pad.

CK headset's are great, I'll have one on the new TA me thinks.

elevensies · « **Reply #9 on:** January 14, 2012, 06:00 PM »

hell yeah, looking reall good,

oh an no stem pad, you must be

to hide that chris king.

im a big fan of his headsets, but none of my bikes will take one as they are all either internal, or machined internals, and as i said before chris king hates internal headsets

yours looks the bollox

Jaymz · « **Reply #10 on:** January 14, 2012, 06:21 PM »

gotta agree, im not to sure on the stem pad front.

think i need some gold spacers for the headset, odd black and allot arent really cutting it

Nah not posey at all, maybe anal, like the 30mins i spent lining up the words king on the heradset cups so they both lined up and faced forward!!!

The last but one owner ground the lugs off so I no choice but to run a pitbull,which i dont mind as I love pitbulls

elevensies · « **Reply #17 on:** January 14, 2012, 09:33 PM »

yeah nothing wrong with a pitbull, makes it stand out.

dordymush · « **Reply #18 on:** January 14, 2012, 10:29 PM »

is that all one sticker ?.
i thought you'd put a load of shields over each other.
got any pics of it ?.

Jaymz · « **Reply #19 on:** January 15, 2012, 09:57 AM »

yes mate its all one big sticker, Del made it and greg let me have it when i bought it off him, i them bought a couple of extra shields to finish it off. Funny you should say about overlapping loads of them, I was going to buy a few of the 100 sticker packs and do the whole bike at one point, but it seemed like a lot of effort for something that may look shlt

gobshite · « **Reply #20 on:** January 16, 2012, 09:51 PM »

and to think.....

i nearly weighed that frame in for scrap!

looks funky, nice bike...

elevensies · « **Reply #21 on:** January 17, 2012, 10:37 AM »

i want one of those stickers, who and where please

ta

Jaymz · « **Reply #22 on:** January 17, 2012, 06:32 PM »

Del is the man for them fella

mattuknc · « **Reply #23 on:** January 17, 2012, 10:57 PM »

Had to get me one too.

Jaymz · « **Reply #24 on:** January 18, 2012, 06:43 AM »

That colour Way reminds me of a flag. I have an odd blue ck top cap on my KHE. No idea why someone would split a Chris king headset up.
