err Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Glad to see that people are liking it !! Still undecided about rawing the forks and polishing them up too. I like the black on silver but theyre a tad battered aswell. Opinions ? personally i like the black/silver combo, but it's up to you really innit. on a side note if you polish them and don't like the outcome you could always paint them black again!

err Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 (edited) Innit bled just trying to be "down with the kids" like high risers should finish it off nicely Edited March 31, 2012 by err Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsbeginner Posted March 31, 2012 Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 i want to do this but my dad keeps saying that itll rust when there is no paint there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted March 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2012 Haha errr Love it And trials beginner - aluminium doesnt rust as it doesnt contain ferrite. However it will oxidise over time but this will be in the forn of a dull layer on top.of the metal. Should just polish out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.KYDD Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Frame looks great Only thing that looks a bit odd is that the back of the cranks is still black while the front is shiny shiny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Gething Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Heres a rough photoshop of what the bike would look like with raw forks (pretty nice I think ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted April 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 Cheers for that mate!! Was trying to do a Photoshop but I couldn't manage to get a silver colour. I like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Gething Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 No prob, Having seen how cool yours is I decided to do a Photoshop of mine (all be it rubbish). Hopefully I can convince my dad to give me the go ahead with the rawing using a combination of this thread and this image here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollied Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 Looks very tidy mate, one thing i cannot stand though is half finished jobs.. you should get a dremel and finish off the cut headtube.. and i would buff away the black paint on the inside of the cranks arms.. Other than that looks spot on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brake arms are sticking too far out,you should change those conical washers and use the thin one on the inside and thick one on the outside.It would not only look better,it would also work better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, I wanted it like that - gives more tension so it snaps back faster when it's located in the last pin hole. Worked really really well last night. Better than that my SD7 did.

Worked really really well last night. Better than that my SD7 did. Personally think it looks dope like that, and overall the bike looks mint. Im just worried about the tummer in the front wheel. Hows that going any surgery to remove it yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Let air down, wrap a f**k load of duct tape around the tyre + rim and just tar where the tape is. Could work? At least it isn't going to explode without warning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 Got new pedals, wellgo MG1s, had them on for 3 weeks and boom... I haven't even had any direct impacts on it apart from today when trying a sidehop on this electrical box. Embarrassing when I didn't even know what had happened and this girl picked up the rest of the pedal and gave it to me hahaha gutted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
