Joe 90 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 There's too much lightweight, flimsy aluminium hardware around these days.Call me old fashioned but there's a lot to be said for a steel frame.(Relatively) easy repairs for cracked/snapped tubes and stiff as. No huge oversize tubing to compensate for the weaknesses.Ok, its heavier but thats just an added incentive to get stronger.So here's my new toy, I was waiting a while but i'm chuffed with it.

aener Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Wouldn't you like a new chain - to go with that swanky ass bike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tryallmaster Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 I really like that. I would definitely change the stem though... I personally dont like Echo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Trials 31 Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Sick! I would just get rid of that fork and get a streetier bar and stem setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brick_top Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Really nice bike. High-rise bar and tabletops for the win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVWOCI WVS Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 How is that frame in such good condition?! looks pretty nice. Needs a proper seat and some kit changing, but definitely a good starting point... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan GU Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Yeah I agree with Sam, a bigger seat and it will look better. I have one forsale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Fitting a proper seat is easier said than done Looks really smart, i'd change bars and that front rim - DX32 up front Steel frames just feel so good, and Leeson's are so well made. I love 'em!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyota200x Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 Amazing bike, Amazing Frame. Some Azonic Double Wall bars would look great on there, but your setup is pretty nice.P.S. Steel is real! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
