Endohopper Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 Base bikes need to be blue , as shown in diagram A :I'm kidding , you've made a great start there , the final build is gonna look and ride awesome . Do you intend to keep the bashplate , or discard it and run a ring ? I notice the top tube is no longer octagonal as on mine , also an 2005 model . Keep us posted on progress , I'm really curious how this is going to look upon completion . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtisRider Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 [attachmentid=3141]thats my first base, then i went and got a curtis stupidly, now im back on the yellow base abovehere its shown with some pretty nasty parts, like a magura (what was i thinking?) and an el gato. the reason im running sus there is cos my curtis forks snapped in seconds (front sus is very fun though, it made me learn front wheel moves real quick!)still it was 1 hell of a bike to ride, soooo streety and made me improve so much over my t raptor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got an old giant team trials frame and apparantly thats meant to be good for street but I don't know why that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted March 27, 2006 Report Share Posted March 27, 2006 super short back end, its very agile, and whippy, its not uber short like a leeson and curtis-its around a 1040 wheelbase-making it a real good all rounder they just feel frickin nice i think, and for the price, they are hard to beat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naa joking. Pauls base rides extremely sexually. But not as nice as my Megamo! Ill try and get some GOOD pictures. If paul posts any, take into consideration that it doesnt have a blue stem...
