Dan6061 Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 (edited) Polished my frame and forks at my mates.Cut off the 4 bolt mounts on the forks, and smoothed it out.Also cut off one of the inner triangle bits of my frame to save a bit of weight, and because I was bored.I'll get better pictures tomorrow!UPDATE!Tensile cranks, Monty PR Stem, and now half a bash. - Which is now silver.Not long until it's next update...

Ladd Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 what did you use to get it that shinny Did you make those V Adaptors yourself ? Oh yeh Looks fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted February 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 My mate has a big polish spinny machine..thing.Used that for ages to get most of the scratches out, then finished it off with Autosol (black and gold tube) and a cloth.Edd Potts first made me some adapters, but they sat too low down, so I used the bolt on brake lugs, and made my own plates for them. Kinda bodged up, but they hold the brake on, so they'll do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody glad i did, and your bike looks stunning Ah wow, really?I'm quite chuffed. haha.I just threaded one of the spring adjuster threads on the Ultimate, so I can't ride until I get a new one. Thanks for all the comments though, I swear everyone always likes my bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan6061 Posted February 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 I meant I stripped the threads... go away. They're Echo Lite forks, the '06 ones that had the Magura mounts on the front, but not anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NileBrown™ Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Man that bikes fit. Definitly the fittest Zip ive seen Is it finished now or are you still going to find more ways to make it better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted February 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 It's finished at the moment...Was thinking about drilling out the dropouts to make it look a bit nicer... When I get money again i'm getting new pedals, and a new stem, seeing as both clamp threads have stripped in it, and I need a change from that Team stem.

Adam-Griffin Posted February 22, 2008 Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 Looks noice, have you cracked the bash plate mount yet ? How much does the frame weigh ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted February 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2008 I did crack the bashplate mount, but it's not there anymore. I dunno how much it weighs, never bothered to weigh it. It's obviously lighter than when I first got it, but it's still heavier than most frames out there.But meh, doesn't bother me, as it's strong as!
