Bigman Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 Since my BT forks died on tuesday it was necessary to purchase some new forks, decided to go for a set of new controls (or pures as it says in echobike.com) got them today and i could not belive how thick the steer is but that makes me a happy Bigman Also got a few more things to sort out my rear vee, the older style SD7 levers i had were ausing my fingers to ache (flat blade shape) so i ordered a set of the new style ones, and they feel SOOOO much better, also got myself some onza vee adapters (not released on there own yet ) and i have to say that i am very impresed with them, and got an XTR booster off ebay, this setup has given me the lowest vee setup i have seen on a 4bolt frame, which i am very happy with as it keeps everything compact and tidy.Well here are the pics:Spec:Simtra ST1 frameEcho Control/Pure forksEcho 115mm 10deg rise stemOnza 30 inch alu barsFSA headsetFront hope XC built to a white (sprayed) DX32 with 25mm holes and a 2.35 ST single ply highrollerRear CK discotech built to a white koxx rim with a hope SS kit ad 17t cog and 2.5 ST highrollerFront 203mm avid BB7 with random cable and new style SD7 leversRear avid ultimate with onza vee adapters, XTR booster, Linear slick cable, new style SD7 lever and heatcink backings with coust rubberMiddleburn RS7 cranks with custom 20t bash and onza 20t stainless steel chainringHome made spring steel tensionerHope you guys like, i LOVE it!Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
