onzatpro09 Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 (edited) Yo guys, I posted this in the bike pics thread, but apparently it is worthy of its own thread, so here goes Here is my Element after its Christmas pimp... As you can see, I am a bit of a Hope fanboy, and I know not everybody likes the purple, but I do Oh, and excuse the attempt at being vaguely arty. Spec is as follows: Frame: Inspired Element 2014 Forks: Inspired Element Hubs: Hope Pro 2s Rims: Inspired drilled Tyres: Holy Rollers Stem: Hope Bars: Inspired arcade Grips: Inspired Headset: Hope BB: Hope Cranks: Shimanus SLX Bash: Inspired Saddle: Inspired Brakes: Hope Tech 3 E4s Rotors: Hope Mono 6 Pedals: Trialtech platforms, soon to be Inspired platforms Tensioner: Trialtech, soon to have the single-side-cage upgrade and a set of Hope jockey wheels And an untweaked photo: Edited December 29, 2014 by onzatpro09 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMK Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Annodized purple is always sweet, whether currently in style or not. The bike looks real good. PK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) Very nice pal. Looks well decent. Not sure on floating rotors for trials though Edited December 29, 2014 by bing 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onzatpro09 Posted December 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Very nice pal. Looks well decent. Not sure on floating rotors for trials though Why's that? Do the rivets spontaneously shear or something? Thanks everyone for your kind comments, it has taken a lot of saving up and selling stuff to afford it! It is basically my dream bike component-wise, although I would like an arcade framekit at some point Now I just need to learn to ride it properly!

onzatpro09 Posted December 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) Floating rotors don't suit trials at all imo, coloured ones i mean... just doesn't look right Do they look too flouncy and delicate? I find that hard to believe when we are to ones who prance about in leggings, short shorts and brightly coloured shoes #GetRektM9 I get where you are coming from, but if I'm going down the purple route, I may as well max it out!

JJ Leigh Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 nah they just look genuinely queer haha to me its the difference between an element brand new, and then an element covered in stickers. i dunno if that makes any sense at all i just prefer solid rotors or atleast floating rotors that arent colourful, but saying that, i tend to like bikes with the main frame colour and most other components are black or silver haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
