chrishayton Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Wow that looks really nice ali. i was shocked at all the gold bits. looks good though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UrbanLegend Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 23lbs? Have you weighed that or is it a wild guess? Almost every component on my Ashton is lighter (or the same) and I seriously doubt mine weighs 23, feels much heavier anyway...Luckily they ride stupidly well and weight doesn't really matter to me. Just curious...Looks like you've done the opposite to me. I've just replaced all my gold parts with black, after a long time with the bling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted March 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 well, in that pic its got latex innertubes front and rear, magnezium pedals with ti axles (saved over 300g over my atomlabs!) got a titanium axle bb, no booster, titanium ck crown race, etc, it all adds up....I weighed it on my digital scales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBProductions Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 After seeing that , it just makes me want to put my mod in the bin , although I probably couldnt ride it as well as my mod, Nice changes ALI, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they weighed about 90g per tube.They werent too bad for pinch flats but when they died they went with style! They would always pinch/split so badly they were not repairable. One time I managed a 13" long split in one and I swear I didnt hit it that hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to run Continental latex, so amusing practically taking out two halves of a tube when it finally punctured haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

011001000110010101110010 Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Gold hope ashton bits eh? Looks, pretty good. I'd have kept it the pink bits they gave it a nice flair. But hey ,free/cheap bits are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali C Posted March 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 lol, manuel, gold wouldnt be my first choice either but they were free so I cant complain.Kyle...taps are ok, not as big as when I was on my control but still respectable.

TomN Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Looks much better then your last one did...but not keen on the gold stem, black one I would prefer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 If whats left of the red was gold or black it would look much nicer, Just looks kinda poopy with a couple of red bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramps Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 I am sorry to break it to you but that effort for a bash ring lets it down no-end, i am also agreing with every one about the gold/red, dunt go together well but without the red it would be stupidly good looking.

Mat Smith! Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Looks alright, preferd the red shiz', looks good though.I thought you didn't like Hope things, or Wad? something.Hehe Nice 'un.Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joker Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 sorry to buck the trend here, but the colour on that bike is horrific, infact it makes the whole bike lookfugly(thats short for f**king ugly btw) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted March 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 I dont think its that bad looking, infact, I think its a lot better looking than a lot of bikes, but I think its like marmite, you either like it or hate it.and dont diss the bash its an awesome peice of work Matt, I never really liked hope stuff before, but the nwer stuff (hubs etc) are mintybobs!
