This inspired me... the atatched (shit quality) picture is the rear wheel for the chopper I'm building! gonna be pimpin'! (It's only half built)

the 2007 echo controls with the extra thick steerer. Do a brilliant job and they're really light

I wish! If we had the equipment at school and if I could weld aluminium it would be but the truth is I can't weld for shit and our school is a biy pikey!

-I completely wrecked my ankle a few weeks ago, the fracture wasnt too bad but there was a lot of ligament damage and bleeding inside the leg. (there are photos of it somewhere) -My kneecap on my left leg is in 3 pieces. -Fractured right forearm at the same time I obliterated my knee -Broken collar bone and dislocated sholdure at the same time (that one really hurt) -2 clean breaks and 5 fractures between my elbow and wrist on my left arm after coming off a longboard on some gravel on the road. -Little finger got pulled between a rope and a block while I was sailing and is now distinctly 'S' shaped there are loads of others that I can't think of, might edit this when I remember them.

I'd browse the wanted topic just to see if i can shift anymore crap out of my shed I reckon it's a good plan.

yeah, it's going to have the bars in the cad model and the booster plate thing

It's going to have the some plate and supports as in the cad model, it's not completely finished yet...

minimum geo: 1070, 380, +30 (this is how it's designedto run) maximum geo: 1095, 405,+30 (this is with the wheel all the way back in the dropouts) It's heavy, butit's not really to ride, it's just for the tech project!

I made the dropouts myself (there's a disc mount on the left one too) and I syole the BB shell and headtube from an old steel xc frame.

Some of you may remember some cad models of a frame I was planning to make for my A2s a few months ago? Well, I actually went ahead and built it! it's not quite finished, but this gives you an idea of it. I'm going to get it sprayed and built up over easter. just finished spraying it and fitting the BB. what do you all think?! any comments would be cool

we're going to ride in ipswich. get guys from southend to come up for the evening on the train?

Pretty much what it says in the title! doubt anyone else will want to come at this notice, but I'll be out with Harry, Fyfey and that lot from about 6 oclock.

Good work. I got 90% of the parts sorted for mine, not going to start assembling it for a little while though, want to get my exams out of the way. post up pics in here of your progress everyone

if you have to lean it against anything or hold the bars to balnce it the weight is going to be completely wrong.

A stock one can be engineerd to fit

add your names to the list: 1. The Poggster - mid kent 2. Alanareo - Mid Kent 3. Hendrix - South Hampshire (Once it's Built) 4.Sam Doman-Suffolk (will be built after exams ) 5.Mitch - South dorset/hampshire (built and ready to be ridden)

I've actually got a working bike now (sort of!) anyone fancy coming out for a ride? cheers Sam

So I need a higher stem? Thats a gay! anyone fancy swapping a big stem for a zoo! stock cnc stem?

Right, I used to ride an 04 echo pure and monty 231, both of which had a shortish wheelbase and lowish BB. Now I ride a vario Styx and i really like the way it rides, the only problem is I find it really difficult to get up stuff on! I can gap further on it than my old bike and I feel really comfortable on the back wheel, but the highest obstacle I can get up to back wheel is now is little more than 30 inches. I dont know what it is? I'm running monty bars and a zoo stem (100x10) with 15mm of spacers. any suggestions on making the bike easier to get up things?

definitely, steel will be a lot easier! I'm using an old BMX frame as the donor frame for mine and a fat load of spare steel tubing. shouldnt be too dificult once you get a design and if you can weld or find someone to weld for you! I have enough steel to make the forks 6 foot long on mine!

It's on the vario site, dont think it's changed much.

Link to the Vario website I dont like the looks of it as much as the old one to be honest, but it's now has brake mounts under the seatstays and horizontal dropouts!

Had a bit of hail in Suffolk earlier, maybe that was it?

I have a hypermobile sholdure, it pops in and out and really hurts. Did it when I broke my collar bone and popped my sholdure out
