Ash-Kennard Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 His chain stay protector won't stay red for long, soon to turn black. I agree it does look pretty lush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmt_oli Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Red overdose me thinks! (Y) but otherwise very nice :) . May want to consider some stickier pads for the back though- koolstops are ok, but when they get dirty there grip will soon go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.Wood Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Very nice mate, personally i'd ditch the neoprene protectors (you shouldn't need them anyways) and paint/get black/silver pedals. Other than that, looks good... Might wanna change pads as has been suggeted, you can get Koxx Reds if you're that anal about the colour (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!aNT! Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 That is immense...anyone who possibly manages to take the piss out of it needs killin...it ruins the look of a bike if you have to many colours, whereas that all flows pretty nicely!! Because im not exactly a genius on parts alls I can say is a big (Y) Its a bit of a shame it wont stay like that for long, but who cares, the first hour of riding everyone will be shocked! As for those complaining about (or not complaining but you no what i mean!!) the overdose of red...Whats wrong with lairyness!! !aNT!

Or wait for it to turn balck anyways........ (Y) Jack Could just turn it inside-out? yeah saves money :) yeah so im a cheap basterd :) tom tom You ain't cheap. If you were cheap then how did you get such a new bike, Pretty much new, all that stuff is really expencive. I hate to ask this but arn't those frames a bit, snap-happy?

tom tom Posted October 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 (edited) Could just turn it inside-out? sorry itll still be red (Y) I hate to ask this but arn't those frames a bit, snap-happy? not many people have them so there aint many views, i aint doing anything big but when it does it does just something to live with shouldnt snap easily though not doing anything big (yet) :) so... tom tom Edited October 26, 2005 by tom tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Endohopper Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Congratulations , she's a beauty . Nothing like shiny fresh out of the box components in matching colours . Now go ride it and earn some scratches . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLATOUTSTYLE Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 (edited) Back tyres pOO (Y) I hate them, my mate said get these they are great, last time I listen to him, the compound is too hard and any moisture and they dont grip. IRC EL GATO and kujos are the best Also you will wreck your hub running only 1 sprocket on the back, too much force going through just the 1 ring rather than a cassette which would distribute some of the torque across 5 or 6 rings....It will eat the freehub body in to time :) Bike looks kool though Edited October 27, 2005 by FLATOUTSTYLE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom tom Posted October 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Back tyres pOO (Y) i was waiting for that one :) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 That looks sooooo nice! But i bet it will only be a matter of weeks before it gets scratched and stuff, still its a dam nice bike all round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Bleech Posted October 27, 2005 Report Share Posted October 27, 2005 Back tyres pOO :) it offensive to poo saying that, because poo is way grippier :) (Y) get a maxxis dude and you will be laughing. the bike looks cool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not like it's gunna cut straight through the cassette thingy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
