Revolver Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Chain reaction have been sick for me, they were shit hot at delivering. They made one mistake in 4 years of me using them though - instead of a sora rear mech they sent me a dura-ace front mech. Needless to say I can sell that to buy two more sora mechs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japslap Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 Chain reaction have been sick for me, they were shit hot at delivering. They made one mistake in 4 years of me using them though - instead of a sora rear mech they sent me a dura-ace front mech. Needless to say I can sell that to buy two more sora mechs yea they're usually pretty good-seem to have a sale on pretty much all the time, they take paypal and it's free delivery, as being in northern Ireland most bike shops in England have to charge to get things over here as there free post (if they have it) is mainland only. But I'm waiting to hear back about the trials calliper piston as they did say they'd try and order one for me, figured I'd let them run about and do the work before I tried anywhere else. The show room is pretty nice it's about 45 mins away from me and it's just bling heaven for bikers compared to any other bike shops over here.

japslap Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 (edited) Here's a bomb proof project I've kinda been working on it's a 2001 Grossman-project fdt (Dual Slalom / Dirt) frame, Grossman where a German company but don't think they're still running think they we're bought over by someone else but not entirely sure, All the bits are kind of thrown on at the moment to save them lying about, and stop them getting damaged, it can take 24" or 26" wheels. Again as with my Pashely frame in the bike pics thread thought someone might want to see a bit of history in a frame you don't see about to often Edited January 6, 2010 by japslap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haydon_peter Posted January 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 I have been enjoying the snow Only noticeable updates since the last pictures: - Blackspire Stinger chain guide - Front shifter removed - Granny ring removed (Who needs a granny ring anyway? ) - Front mech locked out Oh and I finally got around to cutting down the steerer tube, it makes the bike look much tidier. Future upgrades planned before this years trip to the Alps: - Rockshox Pike 454, probably coil rather than air - Hope 20mm bolt through front hub - Bigger discs, 205 front 185 rear - Welgo MG1 pedals - Possibly upgrade the rear hub to a Hope Bulb or Pro 2 and fit an M-Axle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rupintart Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) Got it like this: It weighed right under 31 lbs before the fork. Put on the Argyle, dropped it to 30lbs even. Rest of my parts came in today, see if you can spot the differences: I dropped 4 lbs from just cranks, bar and seat post (weighed on a fish scale at the shop)!!!! Old parts were no name heaviness, switched to: Easton Monkey Lite XC carbon Easton EC90 seatpost cut down to 2inches below pictured Shimano LX M580 cranks stripped to 32t I don't know know if I'm going to change stems...probably somewhere in the future. I know for sure a Hope is going on the back as soon as the XT kicks the bucket. I have Small Block 8s sitting here in my bin. My buddy is still out of town until the 18th and has the matching front wheel, which is I think an XM719. Currently a D729 is on there. Tires alone I should drop nearly 2 lbs, and the front rim about a pound. So I'm looking at a total drop of nearly six lbs bringing me to 24 lbs. 25lbs and some change is/was the goal, and likely target, but that's a lot better than 31!!!!! A new bike scale is on order as it's broke at the moment, so when the new front rim arrives, the scale should as well. This was originally a budget project since I got the bike for 2 bills, but I couldn't resist the temptation of the nicer parts.

JonCongreve Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Giant STP, bit of a crap build needing some new forks and brakes but does for bmx tracks and stuff. Marin Quake AL7 looking funny with the shock removed, had to be sent off to MOJO for repair. Thinking of selling the frame, frame and forks or whole bike if anyone's interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rupintart Posted January 22, 2010 Report Share Posted January 22, 2010 LOL, I knew I'd get shit for the stackers. I cut about 40mm of steerer off and STILL had that much left. I don't know right where I want to run my stem yet as those bars feel a bit different than the ones that were on there. I'll be swapping out the stem soon, and the stack height on that Giant stem is pretty small, so I didn't want to have to kick my self in the ass for cutting off too much the 1st time around. It'll be cut as soon as I can figure out which stem I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 I've got a friend who regularly rides DH on one of those frames. Looks very similar to that one, and it's still going! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigjames Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 That's a piece of mountain bike history. I'd sell it back to Specialized USA, sure they'd want a fair bit of money for it. My mate who i used to work with at a bike shop is currently building a retro re-build of a GT Lobo DH, orginal Boxxers, XTR cranks, brand new Shimano Airlines pneumatic gearing, basically the D's B's from 10/11 years ago i'll get some pics when its finally done, should be amazing!

tank_rider Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Well I think my supreme is finally finished! Started life as a standard 2009 Supreme 2, but has had most bits changed by now! Has dropped from an original weight of ~42lb down to a more all mountain friendly ~36lb but still maintaining a strong spec that can handle plenty of abuse. This has replaced both my DH and XC bikes and I'm absolutely loving it so far. Spec: Frame: 2009 Supreme 2 Shock: Marzocchi Roco R Forks: 2008 Fox 36 Float R Wheels: Chris King ISO Hubs (20mm front, HD axle rear) with EX721 rims using DT Double Butted Spokes Cranks: Middleburn RS7 Chainring: E.thirteen Guidering 32t Chainguide: E.thirteen LG1+ Casette: Shimano XT Rear Mech & Shifter: Shimano SLX Brakes: Avid Code 5 (203 front 185 rear) Tyres: Maxxis Minion Single Ply 2.35 (swapped for high roller dual plys for DH only use) Bars: Easton EA70 Stem: Gap 50mm Seatpost: Thomson Elite Saddle: SDG Bel Air RL Pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
