CurtisRider Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 (edited) Mate just bought a curtis off here after not riding trials for quite a while, mines pretty much unchanged except for homemade 4 bolt adaptors, booster, pashely forks and a hose clamp because my threads tore out on the shitty 4 bolt things!Both weigh 26lbs, and the best bit is both cost a smidge over 200quid sweet as fook! Basic specs are:Pashley frame and forks, premium 3 piece cranks, revolver on d521 rear, try all freewheel, onza front wheel, prodigy stem, kore bars, deore vs and xt leversCurtis frame, p2 forks, maguras, middleburns, hope xc hubs on f519 rims, echo stem and easton ea50 bars.Dont worry, he is ditching the toy brakes and running v brakes when he can afford to Also making a seat clamp so he can run a seat. I'm probably going to weld some v brake mount on my ghz and some reverse mounts on my forks when i get time also got a dmr 1 piece bash that i need to fit at some point...just needs machining Seat?just need to alter the clamp a little more so it can sit really far down, then spray the clamp black Edited October 23, 2008 by pauloliver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tryallmaster Posted October 18, 2008 Report Share Posted October 18, 2008 Hey, my four bolt mounts broke too. What I did which worked really well was buy some small nuts and bolts. I found nuts that perfectly fitted behind the brake mount. Lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtisRider Posted October 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 I genuinely prefer 26, i have owned and ridden various 24s, but there is something that feels wrong about them for me! Still fun though...I'm up for a big ride, as long as its not silly far away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
