awesme Posted October 18, 2012 Share damm, looking very prettyyyy, making me want my build now. love the way the black and red looks, confirming my look/idea. G Preview time! My apologies for the bad pic, it was cramped quarters! Okay, so the cables aren't quite done and he is wearing a temporary rear wheel. Also, the stem is most likely too high right now - I want to get a feel for the bike before deciding on final height and whether or not to cut the steerer any shorter. PS: The Hope seatclamp doesn't fit, it is too wide. Sticking with the SC clamp that came with the frame. Delilah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delilah Posted October 19, 2012 Share Awesome... just loose the barends.Amen to that!!!Yeah, bikes do look better without bar ends, can't argue with that! Maybe I'll lose them after more HTFU. Right now, I like bar ends because you can move your hands to an alternative position on long rides. A change is as good as a holiday and all that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneLeg Posted October 19, 2012 Share I cant understand why you would want to ride this bike with those pedals. But as you said this is not the thread for that. regardsA concerned Tallboy owner Tjokkits 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as you said this is not the thread for that. regardsA concerned Tallboy owner Maybe 'cos she's harder than you? :-) More of a bias to trail riding. And some ppl just prefer flats and the way you can move around with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DR ◣◢ Posted October 24, 2012 Share Very very nice. Get rid of the bar-ends though. Risers + flat pedas + bar-ends looks out of place. Delilah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delilah Posted October 24, 2012 Share Dis 'n jammerte die raam is te groot vir my Dit is ja Very very nice. Get rid of the bar-ends though. Risers + flat pedas + bar-ends looks out of place. The good news is that the 2 x Fox setup is so plush, and the bars so comfy, I did not feel the need to use the bar-ends at all. So, I probably will replace them with Hope plugs soon. A good time would be when I have the steerer cut down to final height. DR ◣◢ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
