robster Posted June 5, 2008 Report Share Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) Here is Robbie's new bike for you lot to paw over. It is a modified Bionic B2B supplied by Fred Savage He has not ridden it in anger as yet. hurry up dad i want a go!!!!!!!!! I have been a busy boy on the old Bridgeport milling machine at work drilling this and that. Drilled forks drilled front Try all rim All cable hangers removed and hoses run through frame rear drop outs shortened all bash equipment removed various holes drilled in frame white duct tape instead of rim tape. I am not sure of it's exact weight but Rob says it feels as light as his old Hydroxx, so that is good news. Fred savage has supplied us with the Frame and bits many of which he is promoting in the UK. I am happy for anyone to have ago and see what they think of it. We will be at the 2 day Tyke trial next week. I am happy to say that heatsink are supplying the rear braking power with the addition of some CNC backings and some red pads so i will keep you posted with how that is going. I would like to thank Fred and Ben savage for helping us out over the last few years and supplying the bits for this latest project. I would also like to thank Steve at Heatsink for the advise and parts (when they land) for the rear brake. I hope you all like it, not sure about the colour of the pedals but what the hell they will be scratched soon enough. They are welgos magnesium, they are sooooo smooth. We will be out training this weekend so I will get some shots of it in action. Thanks for looking.

Mark W Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Whoa, whoa, whoa - drilled forks? I take it you just mean the two holes on the crown? Looks like you\'ve drilled through half the weld on the inside of the BB yoke/chainstay join too, I\'d be watching that for cracks...

basher Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Well as you will be able to tell from my sig i hate rear disks so nice to see hes on a rear magura. But have you thought about getting him a decent vee set up as seeing as hes a young one a maggie may feel hard to pull in and give him arm pump problems? with the vee you can tune it to have ultra light feel and heatsink do the adaptors and pads. Send us a pm if you want some advice on vee equipemnt if you fancy it. Really like the look of it might have to have a bash at the 2 dayer on it. You not fancy going that bit further to get it down in weight i see you havnt sqaured the rim holes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex-Mitchinson Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 i see you havnt sqaured the rim holes out. Or cut the side tread off the tyres, saves nearly 100g's all togther. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
