Barbra Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 i quite like that, ive never seen purple look that good on a bike. Usually it looks tacky but this one looks good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall_Rob Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 I do like the purple. Was thinking about it for my pitbull but went for blue in the end.Why the chain tensioner?You've got horizontal dropouts, you don't need one!Our is it broken?Looks nice though, hopefully you can ride it too lol.Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synergy Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 tis very nice although i think it would look better with black rim tape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stiffnips Posted August 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 rimtape is a bit of a minor thing, thanks though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krisboats Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 I always have liked that spray job... looks very swish.All-in-all a nice original bike that stands out well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyota200x Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 I love the little tensioner. How does it stay tensioned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tall_Rob Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 Where the second wheel on the jocky would have been, he's put the axle through it instead and then uses the the hub and the frame to pinch the tensioner tight into position. My mate does it too. Works well and if you land on it, it just moves up and doesn't usually break.Don't know why he's running it though? he's got horizontal dropouts.

It just makes it easier to get my brake in line as well as my chain being tight, but i think i'm going to use normal chain tugs now.I'm getting a load of new parts for this soon so i'll post the new pictures when it's built.

stiffnips Posted September 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 New pics, bad lighting makes for bad pictures will replace them with better ones soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mods Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 not to keen on two tone paintwork. Could you strap any more bits of plastics and crap to you frame? But if it works well then that all gd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsy Ben Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Now thats better looking, thank god you got tensioners i think you have the same problem as i did with mine, the chain rubbing on the seatstay its the worst thing about that frame but it cant be helped.try this trick though: cut up a can, coke red bull whatever make strips that will fit round the frame then duck tape them in place but let the metal go right round the frame so you can twist it round when it starts to wear out. This is sooo much more effective than tubes around the frame, and with this system you can actually run you chain at a decent tension Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Got a pic of that tensioner on it's own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
