Miss-Higgy Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) I thought i stick a thread up as he should be finished by this evening if all goes well and we can get the freewheel off my old crank's.. If not i'm really stuck... Still need jim to build the rear wheel too, and get my headset out the old frame, and it's all small job's from here on in that i can prob do myself.. Going to buy some black grip's too before anyone comment's on the cheesy pink skyways Here some pic's so far; i still need to retrive tyres and a few bits out the cupboard and off my old bike non rolling shell Front view Comment's appreciated on what you think so far? And i will hopefully be updating it later with a built and finished bike! Update: This is proving to be a bit of a nightmare bike build After me building the wheel myself and it not coming out so great.. I was fine till putting the last bit of tension in and an egg appeared and i got annoyed with it and it got slacked off again and left till my other half could sort it.. And he's stolen my freewheel and bash ring... After realising i needed a longer BB that is so i'm stuck again untill i get some cranks bb and a freewheel But here's what i have so far, brake's are on and working great have sprayed the lever black and that look's fine, also need to buy some black grip's... 21/05/2012 He's finished! And it's brilliant to ride!!! And i took people's advice and didn't fit those crank's. Here he is; Have tried not to over do the pink. Once again ignore the grip's i'm just using them till they die, it wont be long. Going to have black grip's pink gloves. Decided to leave the brake booster silver as the front caliper is silver. And so are both the brake levers so it just made sense to me. So final verdict people? I ride's really nice and the front end is as high as my other half's 24" Edited May 21, 2012 by Miss-Higgy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss-Higgy Posted April 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 I know i have the same opinion of the cranks! They are horrible but i manged to squeeze them out of my small budget.. In time in time, unless i can talk Jim into giving me his trial tech's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss-Higgy Posted April 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Yeah it's nearly as high as my other half's 24" street bike lol! But it feel's brilliant for it especially since getting the riser bar's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD™ Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Mmmmmm, smooth rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss-Higgy Posted May 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 Well, i really like the smooth rim's and i have obtained a set of maggie pads that just happen to be very good for the job of a smooth riim So yeah staying smooth, but hopefully buying a whole bike with the same rear wheel setup in pink and pre ground. Competition wheel me thinks? But lets see if i can buy it before i get too exited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
