Firstly, I DID have this:: T-Rex 04: Not too bad of a set up. Just started to feel chunky and heavy.. Full Spec Here if interested.. I NOW have this:: I've just built it up (16th June 08) All the parts are from good ol' tartybikes.. Great guys them three! =) Higher Res Gallery:: HERE (18 photos in a flickr set) Full Spec:: Frame:: Zoo Pitbull 07 Headset:: Zoo CNC Forks:: Echo Urban Bars/Stem:: Zoo Risers/Echo HiFi 130mm x 15° Grips:: Try-All Foam BB:: BFR-300 128mm Cranks:: Middleburn/Heatsink ISIS (18T) Pedals:: Gusset Slim Jims Tensioner:: Rohloff Speedhub Sprocket:: Chris King Kog (15T) With Hope Spacer Kit Chain:: KMC Rear Brake:: Magura HS33/Coust Pads/Hope Braided Hose/74Kings TPA Wheel Rear Lever Blade:: Black Zoo CNC Rear Mounts:: ZOO CNC Front Brake:: Hope Tarty/ Gusset R-Series 180mm Disc/Black Hope 07 Lever Blade Front Wheel:: Hope Pro2 Hub, Sapim Spokes, Try-All Rim (39mm), Green V!Z Rim Tape Rear Wheel:: Hope Pro2 07 Hub, Sapim Spokes, Try-All Rim (47mm), Green V!Z Rim Tape Front Tyre:: Try-All 2.0" Rear Tyre:: Try-All 2.5" ------------ Wheel Base:: 1085mm Chain Stay:: 380mm BB Rise:: 20mm Bar Width:: 740mm I absolutely love it! It rides like a beauty, its been my dream bike for years.. It's silent on landings and gaps etc (apart from the pads lol) Easy on the rear, really chuckable too.. Cant wait to take it for a spin down Clacton seafront soon =D Well I hope you find it pretty easy on the eyes.. I've seen some Zoo pitbulls on here with way too much green on them, even for my liking, and it's my favourite colour =) Let me know what you think of it anyway.. Bring it on, good or bad.. I love it already, just be even better if other like it too =D haha.. Cheers, Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mexophilia Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I love it dude. It's also my favorite color. For me it lacks green, Hahaha. I would have those Hbars green. Enjoy man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgieporgie Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 (edited) For me it lacks green, Hahaha. I would have those Hbars green. No! That is perfect, looks really clean and has the perfect amount of colour. Love it! Edited June 19, 2008 by georgieporgie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Anscombe Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 i agree thats just the right amount of green.......i like the 07 pits they ride pretty nice enjoy it Dave x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Duck Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Really like that. Nice spec, might feel a little nicer with less stem stackers (something to try when your bored I suppose). Just the right amount of green, as said. Really hate it when people go nuts getting green cranks and stuff. Really like that. All bikes look loads better when they are all shiny and new too.

RobRook Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 (edited) I was debating the green bars before I ordered everything, but decided not to get them.. I wanted small componants to be green and evenly dotted about like they are.. Big green parts like bars, rims, bash plates and cranks are a little to much for my liking.. Hubs I'd probably do, but it's too much hassle sending the wheel off to be rebuilt, and £130 for the same green pro2 07 Hub is a little crazy when I have a perfectly working black hub =) Regarding the stem stacker (1 x 20mm stacker) ... I used to use less back in my early stock years, and always found it too hard to get the front up, so added more and found it less tiresome to ride.. For me personaly, it feels nice and balanced on the rear, really controllable.. But then that was years ago lol =D It'll most likely stay quite new looking throughout its life.. I have a tendancy to look after thing really well.. Maybe a bit too much lol.. And I stack cleanly too, which helps =D lol.. Thanks for your comments chaps =) Glad you like the look of it Regards, Rob. Edited June 20, 2008 by biketrials_master Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenLeacock™ Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Looks amazing, everything is spot on ! Right amount of colour, right components. You've built a winner ! T-rex didnt look so bad neither ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoNnY__Mc Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Thats well nice! Is it the long or short frame?? I wish mine looked that neat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobRook Posted June 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Wehey, Thanks guys!! It's the long version, hense the 20mm BB rise.. The T-Rex had 0mm BB rise, so wanted something that felt different; and that it does, it's nicer.. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Scarlet Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Thats brilliant Rob, I love the subtle use of green such as the rim tape, the clamps, and the headset. I can't think of anyone who would deserve it as much as you, ride it well and look after her. No doubt I'll be seeing you down Clacton way sometime soon.
