Heatsink Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 Hi,Here's my current ride:Brief Spec:Frame: Echo Control 2004Forks: Onza Tuff Guy (steel)Cranks: Middleburn RS7 cranks + Heatsink Cloud9 bashguardRear brake: Avid arms, Heatsink Mk2 V Adapters + Heatsink red CNC V pads, no boosterFront brake: Unbranded arms, Heatsink red CNC V pads, V booster made in the shed.Stem: Kore 100mmBars: Azonic Single Wall, 2.5" rise Tensioner: 74Kingz (not set up very well by me)Rear wheel: Intense DH Mavic D521 on Deore LX hub (No expense spent!)Front wheel: IRC El Gato (wheel on backwards accidentally do the tyre thread is going the wrong way), rim & hub TBC (it's dark & cold outside!)Half the components, including the tyres, I've had since 2004. Then I bought the frame 2nd hand from 2004 to match! After that the bike was treated to a smattering of new HSB components to smarten it up a bit. It'll do for me!I look forward to your comments!Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Good stuff Mr. Heatsink, I approve greatly of those frames, though I hope it's a short...Possibly the nicest riding frame of all time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
