UrbanLegend Posted June 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Real nice. But i do have some questions. An Inspired geo on a heavy steel frame, yet your weight saving? And cable length?I would like a go still.Weight saving yes, but the components should be plenty strong enough.Rear cable length is spot on, front cable is temporary.Saddle is an Eclat Complex, unpadded.And I'm bloody loving it!

craigjames Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) Its bloody lovely Dan although you do need to work on your drop to two technique to be up there with the big boys..........on a serious note, gold cable for the win, welds looked pretty tidy in the flesh and some pimp parts. Still find it funny that your brakes levers are worth more than the frame...... Edited June 21, 2009 by craigjames Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skoze Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 What's up with your forks? They crack or something?Fattys, the crown and the steerer don't like each other and parted company, i put them back together and bolted 'em up for the time being. To quote Mr. Grainger yesterday "You what!? You're insane running those, dude" Pashleys ahoy!And sorry for hijacking the thread :$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To quote Mr. Grainger yesterday "You what!? You're insane running those, dude" Pashleys ahoy!And sorry for hijacking the thread :$Aye, Fattys are good forks. It's just that there is not many out there that are that strong. They almost all snap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEON Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 I still cant believe that. I bought fattys when they first come out at the end of 1999 for £109.99 from team autovogue, those are still going....I've used countless other pairs, and I'm no light rider! And I have never so much as bent a pair!Then again I dont use discs. IMO they take half a forks life awayNice bike by the way! I likeLeon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-A Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Looks lovely Really clean looking bike. Personally I couldn't deal with the extreme bar height most 24" riders run, but the rest of it looks spot on.Off topic, when you say heigh drops to flat, how high are we talking?

Steve-A Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 the giddy heights of 5-6 feet High enough then. I've done 5ft loads of time,s and 6ft once or twice. But by 6ft it starts to get pretty damn brutal, and scary dropping the front well below level before letting go of the brake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharn Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 No way this bike looks absolutly perfect! If i had a hat on id take it off because you sir know how to build a bike!! How much are these marino frames? And how are they holding up for people?I used to ride 24 for ages, had a ET24 and then a 609 and like a complete fool i sold it to start bmx. Which is great fun but im really craving another 24" street trials bike as i too am living in bristol now and it looks amazing to ride! Ive seen a lot of guys riding castle park walls, you there much? If it would be okay id love to have a go on this bike as im interested in building up something similar? I literally live near that flatbank hip by bristol bridge!Hopefully be seeing this little sweetheart around town and look forward to gettin back on the old back wheel Sharn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Dude! I remember looking at your 609 every day in IT and drooling - honestly was/ is one of the nicest looking bikes the world has ever seen. Good to have you back!Are you about this weekend (saturday mainly 'cos i'll be there then)? There's a memorial ride in Bristol for Beau, gonna be a fair few riders there, and a few on 24"s (myself included) more than welcome to come and have a play! Meeting at 10:30 at the steps outside Temple Meads, if not i could give you a shout when we get to Castle Park if that makes things easier for you?Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
