what would YOU change to make it lighter and aid your riding

cheers

darkersomeday · « **Reply #1 on:** May 12, 2008, 03:55 PM »

nothing tbh,

its a great bike as it is, i'd ride it

wait till stuff wears out or breaks before getting into all that bollocks

rodslovechild · « **Reply #2 on:** May 12, 2008, 03:59 PM »

i just wanted to personalise it a touch and thought if im gonna change summat might aswell be summat i only have to change once...........

darkersomeday · « **Reply #3 on:** May 12, 2008, 04:03 PM »

pedals maybe?

a fancy stem?

fly brake?

superlight colony lever?

if you want it genuinely personalized, ride it all summer, strip it for a week in the winter and send it of to SB dan for some swish as fook powder coat

theres an irony in asking people what they would change if you wanted to personalise something

id fook the pivotal off - just dont like them

not a fan of names on tyres either

well the obvious things:

brake cable in a different colour, grips, seat, but to be honest it's all good stuff. ride it and change things later.

(ps: if you do change the seat and post i'll take em off your hands)

you have to understand, here in grantham its still 1987 and thatcher is still in number ten,

my mum still goes to work on a horse

seriously though,

best advice i can give is ride it for a while, you'll start to get an idea of what YOU want it to feel like and what to change,

rodslovechild · « **Reply #9 on:** May 12, 2008, 04:33 PM »

yea thats what ill do,i keep waking up and wanting to ride! i wana go rom sometime this week but at the moment my arms are still aching from creation

perry · « **Reply #10 on:** May 12, 2008, 04:48 PM »

back when i wer a laD

i struggled to keep a bike running

id blow the spare money on sweets , weed and hos

let me guess , it hurts at the base of the bicep ? relax your arm and gently rub the area with your thumb

deep heat is a worthwhile purchase and for the best personalisation get some kooky stickers made , a mate had a kitkat sticker on his bike

i always wanted a spar sticker for mine

rodslovechild · « **Reply #11 on:** May 12, 2008, 04:53 PM »

yer thats the exact place!! when i rub it it feels normal for few seconds then aches again lol, ill jus ride through the pain barrier

like the look of these, pickle had the light red one at creation, looks pink but i quite like it

Whip the tire off and bin them - then stick on a set of khe's.Instant weight loss and faster running.

rodslovechild · « **Reply #14 on:** May 12, 2008, 05:04 PM »

the khe premium folding tyres? are the street more durable seeing as they have the thicker sidewall? these would be more appropriate yes?

pickle · « **Reply #15 on:** May 12, 2008, 07:41 PM »

come on admit it.....you just liked mine to much didn't ya!

motomagII · « **Reply #16 on:** May 13, 2008, 08:57 AM »

the weight of that bike is pretty good off the shelf id just chage the tyres if owt rest is all good spec

subversion · « **Reply #17 on:** May 13, 2008, 08:47 PM »

I'd say you're wasting your money buying an off the shelf complete only to start buying replacement parts straight away!? Just enjoy it & as you ride it more & more you'll see what doesn't work with/for you & you'll know what changes you need to make as you go along

Nice ride too

pickle · « **Reply #18 on:** May 13, 2008, 08:49 PM »

when i rode it on saturday night i thought it was spot on!

rodslovechild · « **Reply #19 on:** May 13, 2008, 08:51 PM »
