bikeperson45 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 (edited) Bored and can't ride so perfect time to put pics up. Got it in February when it was really cheap on Tartybikes after an injury and am loving it. I had been skeptical about the colours since they were released but after seeing one in person realized it's pretty awesome, in my opinion. So was about to buy the frame off Tartybike, and luckily that was the day they were reduced to 120 pounds or something like that. You'll notice the grips and front tyre have been perfectly worn out. Should probably replace them, but now the grips are worn in so they're comfortable. Also my cheap white brake hosing, just wrapped some electric tape around them Edited April 30, 2011 by bikeperson45 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex-trials-boy Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 £120 for those frames is just such a good bargain, looks good mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted May 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2011 £120 for those frames is just such a good bargain, looks good mate Thanks, I was almost tempted to get an Effect as well just in case I want to go 24" in the future. Anyone else had the problem of wearing grips down so much that no other grip seems comfortable? Might go for tennis handle tape... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Gibbs Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 The ribbed bmx grips are the only ones i can get on with, foam ones feel awful to me and mtb and lock ons feel way too hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
