First Ride In 10 Years

Recommended Posts

Plan was to take my time with my new Rocket build but today I ran out of patience and just chucked a bike together with any old bits I could find to go out for a ride. Some of the bits like the front wheel, forks, profile cranks and pivotal saddle/post will be going on the final build but most of the rest of it is just crap I had lying around. The rear wheel is the worst bit and I'd bent the axle after only half an hour.

Amazing being back on a 26" street/trials bike though, even with only one shonky rear brake and the rear wheel of a budget Ridgeback from the early nineties. Gonna have to keep it rolling now until I can get the bits to finish it properly. Should have a rear wheel on the way from a mate who already lent me this fame(I have an identical one I'm stripping ready for respray) and I'm gonna sort a Magura for the back ASAP.
