Canardweb Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) Hi everyone, I wanted to share some pictures of the bike I now ride. I am back on mod as I find I am having much more fun with it now that there are only rocks to ride where I now live. I bought the frame kit, brakes, stem and handlebars from Ben at Trials addict. The wheels are from my old mod I rode like 3 or 4 years ago. I have ridden that bike for the last 2 months and it is one of the best mod bikes I have ever rode after Echo Lite, Breath YES, and Because Color mod bikes. Rear disk brake was something I didn't really enjoyed few years back but now I absolutely love it? Maybe because they are well set now. Also I use front HS33 as ABel and Benito do and as I wanted to try this to have my opinion. I think it's a great compromise. After a while I decided I wasn't keen on the color so made a box to keep the inside of my van clean while I was applying the chemical product to remove the paint. Here are soepics of the process and pictures of the bike before and after rawing it. Some changes other the first build is that I added a bash plate, made some TNN/Coust pads for the front, changed the disc pads for some Jitsie ones, new Monty Pro Race tires I had lying around and Echo 160 mm cranks as my Breath 165 mm ones were starting to crack. Thanks for your time. Edited April 3, 2016 by Canardweb 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canardweb Posted April 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 I'll try to make one on Sunday if the weather's nice enough. Just machined my cranks, both rims, and the bashplate. Few titaniums bolts and should get a fair weight out of it. Pictures later. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niconj Posted May 1, 2016 Report Share Posted May 1, 2016 Yeah. Looks really nice. From personal experience I would recommend the Echo CNC stem. I had the Rockman as well and when changing to the Echo there was a huge improvement of the front-end stiffness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canardweb Posted May 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2016 I have machined the headtube and faced it to tweak the geometry and reduce the height. With some new forks, the bike is now even lighter and has a way more rigid front end. It also looks way better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
