N Roach Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 (edited) Evening,Just finished building this. Big Thanks to tartyBikes for a few parts and for the great service/advice. Also another Thanks to my good mate who spray the frame(You know who you are.) I am soo happy with the outcome. The bike is extremely nice to ride, flicky and easy. I have a before picture to show how much work I have put into cleaning it up. I have taken most of the mounts of because the previous user had smashed them bad. Also used the dremel on the headtube, to save abit of weight. Enjoy!Before makeover:After Makeover:Nathan Edited March 18, 2009 by N Roach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sponge Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Really nice! Was it OBM's by any chance? I seem to remember those specific Tensiles, no bashplate, and the monster dent on the downtube Twas really nice when I had a bum around on it back in 06..

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 I think maybe you should've painted it in some sort of camo... 'cos god damn is that one ugly frame!! Just looking at it makes me want to come find where you live and cut the back end off it! Best keep it away from me when we go riding...

Davetrials Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 im so happy that little kid with a t bird spec no longer has it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that NBR dude Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Hmm still not sure about the drop stays. Maybe I'd think differently of it if I saw it in the flesh, but for the moment I'm not too keen. You'll have to bring it out to Poole one day Nath, and I can make a proper decision about it. You should have sprayed it orange to match your Ozonys!! It would be like a mini-me-bike.Enjoy it anyway Nath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Manning Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Nathan, I hope that does ride really nice, because that is one disgusting looking bike. I think it's mainly because the chainstay's are so low, it just looks foul.Fair play for going back to mod, hopefully you'll be happier on that.

N Roach Posted July 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 (edited) Thanks for the comments! I like to be different, personally I love the chain stays and that is all that counts. Indeed!A bit of a saggy bum, but hey my ex had a saggy bum and i used to love grabbing it when she was riding me - Each to their own What up with the stock - i noticed you were looking for new wheel set?NeilHey Neil,Yes im looking for some new rims. Mine are nearly 8 months old + I had a bad fall off at Portland the sunday before last and bent/flat spotted my front wheel. The 26" is still 100% fine but would ride nicer with some round wheels Hopefully ride soon!Nathan Edited July 30, 2008 by Nathan Coward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lil Jsy Chris Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Looks amazing, bit strnage around the chain stay, but really good. Nice one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N Roach Posted July 31, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Edit: do the dropped chainstays not make ANY differenct to the feel of it?I really dont know. I havent ridden another 20" yet to tell the difference. One thing that really seems easy on this bike is flicking to back wheel, maybe due to the added weight at the back.Video is on its way.

I still have the lovely Ozonys, but this onza just suits me perfect, feel so comfatable. But its nearly time for me to buy a car so I mite have to sell it to top up the bank. Rie soon Steve!Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
