G-Unit Posted August 13, 2013 Share I am pretty set on what the end result will be, its just budget so I steel and borrow from me stumpy and as I buy the components I want for the moto the stumpy will get its bits back. Exactly what I've done. I bought the frame fork and wheels and thought that I'd just be patient and build up the bike with parts as I bought them. The next morning my XC bike was bare and my new little pony was ready to ride. Edited August 13, 2013 by G-Unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockCoach Posted August 13, 2013 Share Ok 2 questions. Where do the kiddies sit?And is the Moto for sale? I wonder if any of the bikes have a trigger under the saddle dropper for riding past schools? Edited August 13, 2013 by SLiiick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Unit Posted September 13, 2013 Share So, thanks for all the advice. I eventually got a Deity CZ bar. I think it looks pretty cool! And it feels a hell of a lot better than the flat bar I had on. So now the next question is the choice of a more suitable stem. I still have a 100mm Easton stem on the bike (also scavenged from my XC bike) I would like to go down to a 60mm stem. Any suggestions? Cheers,G. DR ◣◢ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers,G.Best thing I could have done when I was looking for the Shova was to go to a LBS with a nice wide range of stem lengths, try them out in the parking lot, settle on one that feels right, pay the LBS and enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 13, 2013 Share Ok 2 questions. Where do the kiddies sit?And is the Moto for sale? Would have been too big for you anyway, Omega - Patches is a big boy. And the kiddies are kept down by the bikes. So they're all subdued. Till Uncle Patch gets home... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers,G.1. From the pic (could be angle) it looks like your bar needs to rolled forward a bit. 2. Go down to 70mm I'd say. Based on no facts whatsoever! But it's a good middle ground and going too short too quick might pose other problems especially if you do longer rides. G-Unit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
