HippY Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 yes, they are, but they were cheap actually I am planning to paint your old wheel to white. Since I have the front wheel it is beautiful and i am in love of white wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HippY Posted October 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 massive bump, but a little story an updates in summer I went to Hungary and I brought my bike there so I could ride with my mates for a week straight, and I am going to bring it back on August I did not had that week because my holiday got a week shorter. Anyway after it turned out that the guy does not do deliveries on August, and September is full, it will be back on this week. So after a major break ( I am "riding" for 1.5 years) Ill be back on bike soon. I sorted a new rear brake for it, a `14 HS33, and ill sort out a new disc and pads on the front. I am going to ride it until it dies, after that I will change to 24". Further improvements that it plan and can be brought to a new bike are handlebars, and maybe new front brake, if juicy 3 is not enough for me, and new grips pictures will be up later this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siontyrex Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 well ive bought a whole bike of sam oliver at the koxx days 3-4 years ago and when i cracked the frame i repaired it and held it as a spare. but then i got an echo 24 inch so i had no need for spare frames then i sold it.

HippY Posted November 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) Update! New bars: Rockman Rockbars: they are awesome, thank Wilf! New pads on the rear: CNC Rockman Greens New rear brake: `14 Hs33 4 finger. Stupidly powerful, and very sexy. Things needs to be done: Re lace front wheel. It is strong but too on the right. New FFW later on: its start to skip, still good maybe a longer stem Learn to ride Edited November 11, 2013 by UKHippY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HippY Posted November 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 Jesus fuck why are those rear clamps like that?! Hey, call me just Hippy, dont tell anyone who am I really, please! Threads are fcuked, so the bolt only went in for halfway. So I needed to be creative and sort this problem out. It works! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HippY Posted November 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Bars are looking good mate they are comfy! I love them The washers from a chain work much much better! Yea, but my problem is that I am a nerd, so I had to take apart one of my faulty xbox for spacers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
