CalRobbo341 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 So I got a whole bunch of new parts and it is basically a brand new bike. Spec at the minute- Onza Comp Frame Trialtech Disc Only Hope Bulb Hub Try-All Rim Kenda Tube Kenda 8 Block Echo TR Disc Hub Echo TR Rim Kenda DH Tube Maxxis Crawler Trialtech High Rise Trialtech 165*35 Trialtech Skinnies FSA Orbit Equipe Headset Trialtech 20mm Spacers Onza ISIS BB Echo TR Cranks Wellgo Magnesium Pedals Echo TR/SL 108 Echo Urban Ring It's at the kind of stage where I am happy with the spec, only need to spray my front wheel, or raw my rear? More pictures when i'm at home when it is day light. Haven't ridden it yet, but I bet it will ride like a dream! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williams Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Yeah man, dual disc on that would be sick! Nice bike man:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalRobbo341 Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Tempted to get rid of it to be honest, probably because I haven't ridden it yet, slight bit of rust on the chain and rear sprocket puts me off riding it.. Weighty but strong build as the rear wheel is like 2.5kg. Trialtech stuff is weighty but strong. Still temopted on getting a set of brakes for it too .

Jake. Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Gorgeous, really really nice. You should get a full black front wheel too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny00135 Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Yeah full black front wheel will finish it off nicely... And ride it!! before you do something you'll regret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalRobbo341 Posted January 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Recommend me a gloss black paint that is decent someone? Off work Tuesday so will get some then, probably change the colour of the rim tape too. Also just been out on it for around an hour, It is good, I just needed to man up a little!

BradJohnson Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 liking the headtube cut. looks neat, did you do it yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials hoe Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) Still temopted on getting a set of brakes for it too you should go dual disc as for paint, its more important to do it right rather than buying the best paint. ie shit job with good paint vs good job with shit paint, the one with the effort into it will be the better one . your local paint shop will be best to advise you on paint and 2pac is normally more resistant to abuse than cellulose/acrylic ect paint, the paint i got from the quid shop went on ok and has a nice finish to it but i can't say anything about its longevity as of yet. but rims tend to be safer from scratching than other parts.

Blake Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Get 7 cans from poundland and just wack it all on properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalRobbo341 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Nope, speak to the mighty Owen Gawthorpe, previous owner of the frame. liking the headtube cut. looks neat, did you do it yourself. Will I need to sand the wheel down or anything? Will probably paint the spokes/nipples using nail polish while I am at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
