Below is my Onza Limey 3.20, which has had various modifications. The 4 bolt mounts have been cut off the frame and all the rim brake reinforcement between the chain stays and seat stays has also been removed. The stainless steel rings around the headtube have been removed and the headtube has been faced down by approximately 1cm overall. My front wheel is going to be rebuilt to match the rear (with purple nipples and black spokes) but I am waiting for Onza to bring in their front diamond rims.

In the photo below is my Leeson Clear 660 which I recently bought on ebay, but it turned out that the bottom headset cup was broken where the flange meets the cup and as a result the headtube is badly flared where the previous owner didn't bother to change the headset. :( A new headset cup can be pushed in and pulled out by hand and will rotate in the frame. Hopefully it can be solved with a deep cup headset.

It may be worth trying one of these on the Leeson

I've put one on my new bike and it seems good, its not very light but but the radiation symbols and "warhead" writing keeps me amused! Simple things for simple minds :lol:

I already went for a nukeproof warhead ST. The trials rider in me said go for the aluminium one because it's lighter, but the engineer in me said stainless steel! Thanks anyway! :)

Have to rebuild the bike now to see if it does the job.
