Stan Shaw Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 As you can tell, this bike's changed a fair bit from when I last posted pictures. I've now gone brakeless (mega fun!) and I've sprayed the frame and added some pimp new Echo parts in Purple. The eagle eyed will also notice I have removed the HS33 mounts on the frame to make it cleaner. I had a rear disc before, and still have the option of going back to that. I also managed to get the chain setup tight without any tensioner, which is sweet. I'm guessing some people will hate the colour theme, but I love it as its different and nice and bright. Oh and for those who care, the bike weighs 9.12kg. Thanks go to Ads for the pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Canham Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 (edited) This bike looks amazing! I am not too keen on the colour of the frame though. But i am a massive fan of the purple I would have gone for purple hubs aswell. -Tom Edited February 19, 2010 by papman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 I wish team tarty brakeless staff lived in bristol bike looks amazing. Funny you should say that I'm trying to badger Ali into a bit of a Wales roadtrip - I'm actually in mid-Wales now, and my sister lives in Cardiff so we have some stop-off points. Was thinking of maybe Porthcawl on a Saturday and Bristol on a Sunday, then driving back up home. Are you around on weekends? Be pretty rad to meet up again now I'm not on a little gay bike, haha.

Ali C Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 BANANA BIKE no need to badger, I am well up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Sweet. The drive from Tarty to my home here was pretty good yesterday. Did the last 26 miles of super twisty roads in about 30mins yesterday including stopping off to pick up some eggs - super smooth road, no-one else around, mega good... But yeah, could easily do it all in a weekend with relatively little fuss, so we should! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Clark Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Looks sweet as anything, brakeless is terrifying though. I was going to get that seat and post combo but it didn't come in my size, looks nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturdays are not so easy - as I have work in the morning until 11/12 ish - wouldnt really be worth pounding to wales - as Im usually pretty pooped on saturday afternoons. But Sundays Im game for anything. Colourful bikes for the win truth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Yeah, the Newtown road - been re-tarmaced since I was there last, and it beats the shit out of any of the wanky roads up here! Potholes galore... And egg farm was somewhere by Dolfor I think. I'm back up in Hebden now though, sorry. Was only in Llandod as a stop-off on the way to Cardiff.
