*gentlydoesit Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 (edited) As of tomorrow night my new (to me) build is complete I'm guessing most of you will know that I've been building a bike for a while now. The original idea was to build the best bike I could cheaply, by buying all used parts from you fine people. As things progressed I needed to buy some parts new, and the whole 'cheaply' thing went clean out the window after I thought ALL gold Ti would be a cool idea. Sooo, the build spec that I can remember off the top of my head is as follows (feel free to fill in any blanks ) Zhi team frame. Geo ...?...? Rockman carbon forks Rockman 7075 bars, foam grips Tryall 3d stem, Ti bolts/washers Echo headset With 20mm matte carbon spacer Zhi sl cranks Reset Ti bb Echo sl Ti ffw Trialrech Ti bash Front wheel... (forgotten ) carbon hub, double butted radial laced spokes, red nips, Ti bolts Rear wheel.. do I even need to say!? Echo tr hub, echo sl rim, dt swiss butted spokes, red nips, echo Ti sproket, Ti bolts, not cams *With a Dave Kerr brand axle and spacers . Massive thank you to Dave there. I couldn't find anywhere to buy it new, not even tarty could sell me the set! Tryall sticky light tyres Brakes; Echo tr levers, ti nuts, bolts/washers, racingline Ti barbs and bleed screws. Front.. Echo sl slaves, tensile offset clamps, trialtech carbon booster with own made 5mm by 3/8 t6 spacers, racingline splitter, racing line ti barbs, ti bleed screws, tnn pads (dunno the flavour) wd 40 bleed, ti mounting bolts/washers. Rear.. echo tr slaves, maggy clamps, trialtech carbon booster with same spacers, racing line splitter, racingline ti barbs, ti bleed screws, tnn pads, ti mounting bolts/washers. Kmc 610hx chain. Haven't decided on pedals yet, but I'm leaning toward some syntace number nines, using dmr v12s for now. Heres a link to some of first to the last pics i took, there have been some minor changes since then and nothing is tightened or set. I'll post the finished pics tomorrow *problem with the link here's a teaser Thank you to all the excellent sellers, you know who you are Up yours to the not so excellent sellers Edited April 10, 2014 by *gentlydoesit 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Can see the link, can't see the pics in it. On each one there should be a code to share the pic called the IMG code. Copy and paste those in here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canardweb Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Ah mate sorry but watch the frame under the headtube. These frames crack there under 2 months. Very high spec build anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very high spec build anyway. I got warned about the frame a while back good thing is theres plenty more frames in the sea I think I got a little carried away with the spec, being fairly noob to trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and the lads are riding Brum tomorrow if you fancy? I do fancy! I'm getting my back wheel back today, I need to set everything up tonight so fingers crossed its ridable for tomorrow.

*gentlydoesit Posted April 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Set back The replacement spokes for the back wheel were too long! Adam said 260-262mm, the first set I could lay my hands on were 262. Traded for some 260's now so fingers crossed they're ok. Back to the bike shop tonight, they're open till 8 so I'm hoping they can sort it before tomorrow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skuzzbucket Posted April 11, 2014 Report Share Posted April 11, 2014 (edited) looks like one of my old frames. but defo a better build then mine. ride so nice. cracks start to appear if your a heavy hook up ride. jack meek beat the life out of his before it gave up :wink2: frame geo was listed as 1090 , 380 , +75 but mine had old koxx forks which had 35rake and was 1095 , 380, +70 so yours should be around that i would guess Edited April 11, 2014 by skuzzbucket 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canardweb Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Remove these brake boosters. They are no use on that frame or fork. Then get some 05 magura levers as the echo are flexy. That would be pretty much spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gentlydoesit Posted April 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Remove these brake boosters. They are no use on that frame or fork. have you seen the frame flex? I can do a vid if you like, even with the booster its got to be 4mm of flex! The forks seem ok to be fair, but there's a certain amount of aesthetics involved in a bike for me 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*gentlydoesit Posted April 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 . Then get some 05 magura levers as the echo are flexy. That would be pretty much spot on. never been keen on those. I've only had a quick go of some 05's to be fair but I can't say they made any kind of great impression on me. I absolutly hate 04's! Havnt noticed any flex in the levers. I'd need to give it a good test drive though, I've still not ridden it because I'm missing a cylinder washer for the front, and the offset clamps arnt filling me full of confidence.
