John Shrewsbury Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 (edited) I wanted one of these frames brand new when they first came out, managed to get this one off gavin bedford, im sure this one is about 1030ish or abit longer.I looked through MBUK to see wat setup akrigg used and i manged to get the same stem from my local bikeshop and forks off waynio (Air valley cycles).Feels very low in the bb area but i really wanted this frame as it was low and short.I'm only riding this bike as a comp bike, once my INSPIRED 24 is built i will be riding that all the time.

liam-pantera Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 that is so cool , its nice to see people still apretiating the older bikes which have history and wernt just made in tiwan without any though what so ever . Know all you need is one black lever blade on the right hand side and then you have his bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Shrewsbury Posted April 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 Rode it tonite for abit, feels abit longer then my steel megamo, but not as much. Really gd for bunny hopin to back wheel or both wheels, all gd fun bike.Hopefully later this year me and (Dave, Inspiredbicycles). Will put are heads together to get a 26inch street frame on the cards.

Tony Harrison Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Nice one John! I've often been tempted to build my own one up. That, with 2.5" Azonics, was the most fun bike I ever had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
