CalopS Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 This is my new build. New frame, forks and a few stan ti bolts but everything else is transferred over from my Console. Obviously needs the forks chopping down when I've figured out where it needs trimming to. I'll be getting some fresh tyres soon too! But here it is.... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grip is fine but there is a lot of cuts in them that glass collects in. I'd say in about 5 of the last 7 rides I've had a slow puncture. Not on the last couple of rides though so might see how much longer I can use them for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusevelt Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Neat touch with the built-in seat post clamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd sell my recently built Rockman for it and put some more cash to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paperclip Posted October 30, 2016 Report Share Posted October 30, 2016 (edited) I got to see this the other day and the colour of the frame is actually a lot better than I first though (seemingly this happened pretty much every time with inspired colours). The forks let this one down being blue these need to be sanded and painted in my eyes. It felt nicer to ride than I remembered even though I didn't even like his stem so I think one of these is on my things to do list. Edit: I think that I have had some kind of lapse here but I am sure the forks on this bike was Concole blue when we rode @CalopS Edited October 30, 2016 by Paperclip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niconj Posted November 2, 2016 Report Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) Just wondering. Why aren't the forks the same color as the frame? It was so on the older Arcades. Edited November 2, 2016 by niconj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was so on the older Arcades. To be fair I quite like the black forks as a change for Inspired. I would have probably sold these as a frame only or frame kit (including matching forks) so you did get a choice of matching/ mismatched although I like this new tact for Inspired to try and keep the costs down for the customer. It'll bring bigger batches of forks and simplify for future frames. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
