Aii_Aitch Posted August 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 looks great! nice colour scheme! but might wanna check out your chain tension haha Thanks! Originally I wanted the whole "ninja" thing, where I'd paint everything black, but I think this worked out a lot prettier. Yeah, I bought a pair of Gusset Kojak chain tugs, but they wouldn't fit because of my frame, so every so often I just loosen the wheel and pull it backward to tension it a bit. It's not as bad as it looks, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Really really nice build! But how could it be sooo heavy with those parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalRobbo341 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Heavy frame, well not heavy, but heavy in comparison to todays frames. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williams Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 What parts? Thats all pretty heavy duty stuff Well the especially the rims,brakes, forks are pertty lightweight, The drivetrain too! So I just can't see where all the weight is coming from really. It have to be the frame as the user above says! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I just can't see where all the weight is coming from really. It have to be the frame as the user above says! the frame weighs just over 2kg. I'm sure I could get it down a bit further by removing the bash guard and paint etc., but at the moment I don't really need to. I'd rather learn on a heavier bike first.
