Ali C Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 its green, its mean and its errmm wet out side :ermm: new bike, out of old parts (mostly), a lick of paint here and there and bobs your mums brother. I havnt ridden it properly yet, the headset adjuster is being a pain. The brakes feel WANK! but seem to work pretty well, I might bash a maggie on the back though. hope you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cant_ride Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 that's a very interesting bicycle :ermm: should be cool with the gyro.. good to see my forks have been put to good use.... tell us how it rides when you've had a proper session. oli jeez i just noticed the cable running through the bore of the stem ... crazy !! haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 thats nice ali :ermm: nice white tires too :(" :D I would mind having a go on it! Get some pics/vids of you rding it too :) please Is that a proper giro for the back brake? Or a bodge? I have a a vee on my crusier with a giro and it felt terrible tto, took giro off and just run a longer cable. But yeah i think giros don't move enough for the extra cable pull that vee's need and so feel wank mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excaliborg Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Possibly the ugliest thing i've ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted April 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 lol yep it is pretty ugly, but it cost next to nothing, so I cant complain. It is a proper gyro, I am running my avid levers with the speed dial wound right in so it pulls less cable, seems to be getting better, I might stick with it for a while and see how it copes. I just had a little mess in my hall, managed to get a bar spin :ermm: taters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairy elephants Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Look sweet, wish i had one :( Liking the cable routing for the front brake :ermm: We want a vid of you riding it now! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted April 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 lol, dont expect anything good, I aint a street boy. I just wanted a bike I could bunnyhop and spin and take to the skate park every so often. I have just bathed the cables in wd40, its made the world of difference! they actually feel nice now, I cant wait till I can bung a heatsink v pad in the back! (its actually pretty good anyway with the stock shimano pads) I just wish it would stop bloody raining!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Drewery Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 I quite like it, despite the camo style colour scheme, old skool :ermm: lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkee Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 grrr wish i had something like that just to piss about on! Looks well nice with the white tyres! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted April 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 want white tyres? easy peasy, just paint them :ermm:" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspired Dave Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 That looks bloody random Ali! lol Finding it hard to visualise what sommet like that would be like to ride :ermm:. Gonna enter any competitions on it? haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted April 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 from what I gather, its very short, very heavy and bunnyhops like a dream and is also green and lean its also a machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Haha, looking good in a strange way! As Dave said, it's definatly VERY random, but i kinda like it! Not so keen on the painted tyres/brakes/'Burns, but other than that it looks pretty cool! Nice one :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatmike Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Omfg i just burst out laughing, that is so fantastic! :S :) Only you Ali, fair play, that's awsome. Hope it rides well. *Still smiling* Mike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spunkey_monkey_boy Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 i just can't believe you've painted a set of burns!!! your a star ali, complete nutter and i expect to see that bike at some of next winters indoor events :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CH!P Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 LMFAO! Class! Did you paint the front tyre whilst still on the rim? :blink: Hahaha, I'm loving it! :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted April 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 LMFAO! Class! Did you paint the front tyre whilst still on the rim? :blink: Hahaha, I'm loving it! :( ← SURE DID. The paint on the tyres has come off a bit from riding through puddles, but its all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted April 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2005 right, had a proper ride today and to be honest I dont like it that much. Its far too bmxy, its just like a big bmx, but just harder to ride. I want a more trialsy bike that I can gap and sidehop, but then take to the skate park and ride that too. I am tempted to get a 24" frame, is anyone selling one? I will also bung on a rear maggie and have a tyre with some tread at the back and less than 80psi :(" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
