Ross McArthur Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Wow. Is this all brand new? (looks like the rear brake has maybe seen some action) Good effort for sticking to your guns and building an old school TGS bike. No holding back with the tensioner, square taper middleburns, flatter than flat bars and those pedals I tip my hat to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Yeah respect where it's due but I'd at least have fitted some safer pedals! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forteh Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 1 hour ago, Ross McArthur said: square taper middleburns Nowt wrong with square taper burns, run them on my triton and on the intense Ok so I'm not particularly heavy so I perhaps don't notice bottom bracket flex so much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Now take that front brake off and change it for a IS to IS calliper and change the rear maggy mounts to washer ones to feel the old school setting up pain! You'll enjoy riding it more as you'll appreciate how hard it was to get just right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideburn2 Posted October 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Haha thank you guys for the comments, Regarding the pedals my shins is mostly cartilage from years of riding so that isnt a problem, always rode vp doublecage for trials and always will, and most of the bike is parts thats been laying around in the shed but im very happy with it, i know its not up to date but this is miles better then what i started with, an old steel Monty 219 // Patrik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideburn2 Posted October 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Had to post some past steeds Started with this steel 219 Then upgraded to a Monty 230 Urban a year later Next in line when the hype came with deng and all i bought a Zhi Z1 And my last bike which i sold in 2008 was this Zoo!

DK. Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Get a grind on that rear rim pal. Ronnie rims are the ultimate rims for grinds! and with the right pads you'd have a beast of a brake. Old school tgs *** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Shame it's not disc ready, I'm sure in that case @DK. would suggest the new Danny Macaskill™ MT7s instead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sideburn2 Posted February 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2017 So i rode the Pure and it just didnt feel right, weird enough being the same geometry i had before i quit, i choosed to upgrade the frame to an Echo Control Long -09 and change cranks so i could go with a ffw setup instead, havent had a chance to ride it much yet but feels alot better already! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
