zhenya Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) Back in the days when I rode trials I used to f*ck up my bike in by beginning of a new season. This year I am glad to start with a "brand new". For a long time I had an idea building a mod that would have advantages of a bmx bike on the streets, but was still suitable for some trials jibs. I was not sure what geo and parts it should have, so build it as an experimental bike. After testing it for a month I can say that I reached my goal. I can do things (on same level) that I did on a my mod bike 9 years ago, plus I got a bike with pretty close geo to my bmx. Frame: Haro (wb 940mm, cs 340mm, bb +65mm, 580mm) Fork: Echo Lite Bars: DaBomb Tactic 690mm Grips: BoneDeth Burning Rubber Levers: Avid Cables:Odyssey Barends: Odi Stem: Jitsie 135x35 Headset: Integrated Seat: Mongoose pivotal Seatpost: Macneil nub Cranks: Jitsie 170 mm Cog: Trialtech 18t Bashring: Handmade, Alu Chain: KMC 710 BB: Echo ISIS Pedals: Eclat Alu Front wheel Hub: Echo Rim: Echo, Single wall Tyre: Animal GLH 2.25 Noname tube, Eclat rimtape Brake: Avid BB5, 160mm Rear wheel Hub: DK Megawatt, 12t (120 engagement points) Rim: Blank, Double wall Tyre: Animal GLH 2.25 Nonename tube folded in another tube.

So would pretty much any mod if you put a higher seat-tube and saddle on the frame, and a 20" rim/tyre on the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was before I started with trials though. I only know Mods with +80 and more BBs. That's why this one looks so funny to me.

Ross McArthur Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 Think it would look better without the graphics on everything. Cranks, stem bars, levers etc......and that news paper wrapper on the fork, what's that about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
