JD™ Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Alreet. Most will know I've been begging, stealing, borrowing and bodging to get a 24 sorted. Only specifics when I began were that it was to be streety and dual disc, nothing else really mattered. So far, here's what I've ended up with: It's easily the ugliest bike I've ever owned, but that won't be the case for long Also realised I need either a 160mm disc for the back or an adaptor for the 180mm one I've already got... Not sure which way I'm going to go. Massive thanks to those who helped out (lending or giving stuff): Mr Rainbird for the forks Mr Nichols for the back wheel, cranks and pedals Mr Ben Rowlands for the tyre and pivotal seat (which I will definitely get round to putting on) Watch this space for evolution into awesome summer build...

Revolver Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I found an adaptor in my room yesterday, let me give it a second look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 sweeeeet! Could do with some matching tyres, but for a budget build that's very impressive! A good bike by anyone's standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 That spec's actually pretty amazing! I guess the mis-matched colours 'n' stuff kinda make it look more ghetto than it is. Should ride pretty nicely though, we'll have to have a ride some time soon and put that to the test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsIsHard Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 This is looking really good mate! Can tell it's going to be a beauty when it's all done Hope the frame treats you well buddy Ride soon once I get my inspired sorted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I found an adaptor in my room yesterday, let me give it a second look. Would be awesome if it's +20 Spec is good, far better than the Marino and matching tyres and hoses aren't far off then maaaaaybe the rattle cans will come out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Another vote for spec being made of win, colours being fixable. Glad you've got it sorted man, roll on summer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Bigger res pic needed please. Looks good man! I've played on a right posh one of those (Ogre's), was a lovely thing to trackstand on and ride round in a little circle. (About the extent of my ability these days). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 For a beg borrow steal bike that is nice JD, actually, for a proper build that is nice! Makes me proper jealous though, would love a Zoot but would be about as pointless as muel buying a new bike! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss-Higgy Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Looking good, it looks to me like you only need to ditch the bash and it will nearly all match. Quite jealous at this point Looking good, it looks to me like you only need to ditch the bash and tyre and it will nearly all match.

Quite jealous at this point I've got a black bash in the garage which will be going on after I've given it a little modification... If you ever saw my thread about building the marino though, you'll see how anal I will be about making it all look as pimp as I can Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries, thanks for looking and for getting back to me early enough to get another sorted to be sent through tomorrow. Must ride this thing this weekend!

24martin Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 mental bmx mate, how much was that? is it fast? get ready for literally hundreds of idiots dressed head to toe in addidas tracksuits to ask you the above questions repeatedly, everywere you go on that anyway in all seriousness, that is a very nice build for a beg and borrow.. i mean that spec has got to be ten times better than half of the standard equipment on a new complete zoot i think the only thing that it could do with cosmetically would be a matching pair of tyres, and maybe take a nice rattlecan of gloss black to the rear rim to match the front if your going to be running a rear disc, after that i think it would be a genuinely good looking bike! look forward to seeing some fully finished pics when its all done, or maybe even a little bit of riding footage! i bet you will love the way the frame ride's, i bought a zoot a year ago and friggin loved it, perfect geo for almost any style of riding and horizontal dropouts make it a winner! im running a zoot pro frame-kit now and its such a nice frame to ride.
