LEON Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 (edited) Got it today!BB thread all good, headtube all good, brake mounts all good! The dropouts are a little thin like all owners say but my hollow hope skewer ends compensated for it. My geo is....1015wb (which he got spot on)395mm stays71 deg head angle-10mm bbV brake mountsMachined Hollow head tubeModelled on a norco/zero, feels spot on! but I can't test it for a while as i'm stil healing so can only roll around a bit.Doesn't weigh anywhere near as much as I thought it would so don't let that put you off.Total cost was about £180 including a £20 odd western union fee.Leon Edited July 7, 2009 by LEON Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonMack Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 That looks really nice man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_malcolm Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 thats rather nice looking, what method did you use for payment?also i think that would like even nicer with a small/narrow seat on it instead of the old mini seats. I have never been a major fan of them although i currently run one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted March 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Cheers people, i was actually gonna use my post n a proper seat but i miscalculated and chose a very slack seat angle, so im gonna have t o check seat/tyre clearance once a seats on there, after i file out the huge burr lol. Even the mini seat's clearing the the tyre by 2-3mm!.I paid by western union, its a bit weird but he got the money within 10 mins in peru. You can do it in alot of newsagents, chemists, cash converter type places.Leon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
