Heatsink Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 [attachmentid=3567]Just finished it this evening. Look forward to your comments Daylight photos will follow, but I couldn't resist a quick snap now in the dark. Back wheel is a bit jacked up on a lump but the battery died on my camera so I can't take any more shots!Spec:24UK FramePashley forks with repositioned Vee bossesFront Wheel: 24 x 2.125 Tioga Competition III tyre, Rhyno Lite Rim on Hope Lightweight HubRear Wheel: 24 x 2.30 Tioga Factory DH, Rhyno Lite Rim, DMR Revolver hub + ACS ClawBrakes: Heatsink red Vees on the front, Heatsink CNCed Magura backings with red pads + Heatsink CNCed stock booster on the rear.Prototype tensioner with CNCed sprocket.Azonic Single Wall barsSan Marco seat and FSA SL280 SeatpostCane Creek C2 headset (not buying one of those again!)It needs better tyres (front lacking tread and rear has a non-ideal tread pattern) but otherwise I'm stoked!EDIT: Daylight photos [attachmentid=3570][attachmentid=3571][attachmentid=3573][attachmentid=3572]Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_Tupman Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 First photo?? I've seen atleast one another.Anyway looks ok, I can't get on with the 24" thing though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Same geometry as Jon Fisher's, or is this one a sorta 'revised' model? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatsink Posted April 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Yep, the chains a bit slack too, repositioned the tensioner and the camera battery died! The geometry is a move back into alignment with the Ashton ET geo. Jon's notably had a WB similar to many stock bikes but this is back to the lengths typical of the break through 24" frame.Big thanks for Rich4130 for helping me out with components from his dead ET frame. Great to have some forks with moved Vee bosses so I can continue to run Vees. Haven't put the KMC chain on yet since I can't find my chain tool!
