Cheers for all the help on the frame geo, i'm deffo gonna go for a 20.5"tt now, and it should defintely be the Sunday as well, in toothpaste :). I should hopefully be getting the Fit DLD stem deliverd soon as well (when The Source get them in). Just gotta try and get the money all together for the frame now.

I also found out why my bike still weighed in at 27.5lbs even after my (many ^_^) weight whore moments, which is mainly because the frame alone weighs ~7lbs haha, so there should be a nice noticeable change if i get a new one :)

we've already established I'm a big gay with a fashion bike - there's no need to go on about it.

When i switched from a 6.2lb to a 4.8lb frame, it was just sillyness.

And why the hell do Bob bars cost so much?! I still ordered some though ^_^

So much for a lighter front end. It's gonna put 300 grams back on.

Sounds like it should be good then, but what is the actual weight of the Sunday Wave frames? 'cause i've seen a few different weights from different places like Alans say 5.13lbs, Dans comp say 5.8lbs, and i've seen it at 5.3lbs somewhere else (guessing they've measured different sizes):ermm:, just so it will give me an idea of my setup with a Sunday frame.

woo! old skool frame weight - is it actually cromo or do you get fobbed off with half the tubes being 1020?

eskimo = weight weenie

haha i know, pretty hefty huh, I didn't think it would be that much either. Well the specs say "100% 4130 chromoly frame", ethier way it's a bit of lard arse.

Put in an order a while ago, and the guy seemed to think if we got the order in tomorrow (they were shutting when i rang), then it should be here for the weekend. If it does, the guys at Alans=even more top notch, and i hope i get a lollipop :P

I'd say it weighs around 5.2lbs.

come on - 7.2 lbs is f**kall there were people riding around on 10lb standard frames not so long ago. find one of them and I'll stop calling you weenie boy :P

as for the reverse - I was about to cry until I discovered they only seem to come in right hand drive, this makes me happy cos LHD was the main reason I wanted to wait (apart from the colour).

A little over, possibly. Who knows :P

entirely possible - it's at least 3 wangs high :- .

can you do it in a straight hop? - it could make a nice picture if you did it into the bank, even better with some bar chuckin action.

Only problem with the straight hop is that not only do I not know if I could do it, I'd have to set it back from the bank a bit 'cos otherwise it'd be a 40" or so hop to a pretty big drop to flat. I know that makes it more street, but my wrists don't give a shit about that :P

Did it higher tonight and got it on film too. Well, mobile phone video film anyway... Can anyone give me a hand with getting it onto their computer if I send it to them? I don't have the shit I need to do it at my end.

Yeah, straight hop from flat. I'll fire you my address now, but you'll probably be wanting to send a cheque or something, 'cos postal service is well dodgy here. Either way, or I can send you the brake now and you can drop me the coins if you're going to the DJ ride?

no-hander lander?

how high are those banks?

I've been wondering about a feeble from the top of the steps out into the middle but I think I've got a romantic picture in my head of the drop. (anything more than 5 foot and I'll forget it)

Under 4ft, still pretty decent. Saw a female BMXer try and feeble, miss the peg and go straight to head. Don't let that put you off though? :P Only joking - if you're gonna send it, let me know and I'll get down and get a photo for you...

To give you an idea of height:

Ouch. But Poo you could just pussy it out and use your pedal. :P

As for the advert though, it sucks. The 180 hop would of been a much better pic.

Awesome Mark (Y)
