Luke Rainbird Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Went up to the old police station/court/building earlier and got a couple of shots. This place used to be a prison and is really sketchy - lots of graff and needles about the place. Pretty interesting old building though, you can tell it was a prison from the layout and there are some places where obviously bodged refurbs have been done - where one of the closet walls has fallen apart you can see the urinal they couldn't be arsed to remove and just built around instead and stuff. Hypodermics and turd in most rooms, classy establishment. Currently on paint job #5 since getting the frame at the end February. New bar and stem from Mark last week are sweet but may be a tad too wide and could do with a slightly higher ratio but otherwise it's pretty much perfect! Cheers to Charlie for the shots, nice one man. Spec/questions just ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted June 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Thanks guys! Gibbo; brakes aren't necessary that's for sure! I took them off again because I ripped the spring tension bolt out from its carrier (seems to be the only thing I don't like about vees) but don't feel the need to go back any time soon. J Trials; This is a bit weird for me as there's no garish colours for a change, but an all black bike looks pretty smart so from time to time I go back to tidy things up again!

Mark W Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 First Marino I've liked - that looks awesome! Had been thinking of cutting the bars down but pussied out. Still an option for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted June 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Yeah I kinda fancy going that way but I'm going to give them a few more rides first. I actually quite liked the CondomGrips™ but going from narrow bars with fat grips to these with those was odd to say the least. If they do end up getting cut down the thin grips may make a comeback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Trials 31 Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Thanks guys! Gobbo; brakes aren't necessary that's for sure! I took them off again because I ripped the spring tension bolt out from its carrier (seems to be the only thing I don't like about vees) but don't feel the need to go back any time soon. J Trials; This is a bit weird for me as there's no garish colours for a change, but an all black bike looks pretty smart so from time to time I go back to tidy things up again! That's why I said that, I usually like a whole lot of color, but the all black looks really good here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted June 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 Haha yeah, I had to tweak it a touch in Photoshop because it was completely washed out in the original image (overexposure, maybe?) and I'm far from pro Not too keen on the look of those tyres John, think I'll be sticking with the Diggers for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted June 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2010 It's an Eclat Complex, the unpadded one. Looks fly and weighs nothing, though if you want a bit of extra comfort for your delicate cheeks they do a padded version too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
