first thing to change will be the gnarly budget dropper.

 

I've still got one of those knocking around that I use on an old GT frame. It's crude and about as subtle as a chainsaw, but it has never given me any problems.

I'm enjoying this...

 

Eric, STELLAR build. Would love to give that thing a smash. Top job, mate. 

I recon he means paddles because they are so wide and big

Aside from a ruptured testicle when you forget to sit on it before pushing the button...

On-One 45650B?

 

 

Dude, you've got the tag "On-One" in the tread header.

 

 

hahahahaha I missed that....

 

So an On One 4560 then?

 

Nick's missus rides a sexy looking one of those too....

 

Muahhahah!

 

Worst kept secret ever!

 

Beatiful build, Eric! Hopefully you're a little bit less stressed now.

Tough lesson in patience:

 

Take the better part of 6 months to search for & find parts for a build that has peaked your interest for way longer. Manipulate a budget accordingly and as best as you can. Complete the build. Wait another whole month (family life) to swing a leg over & eventually go for the maiden voyage. Ten minutes into the ride you realize that you forgot to cover the chainstay to protect the new raw steel frame from chain slap. You carry on, cautiously choosing smoother sections of trail to avoid chain slap/frame damage. Curiosity pushes you to attempt one tiny jump before calling it a day. Land the jump. Saddle pops off cleanly. You eat dirt, lose a seat post bolt & take a slow walk back to the car. Bike in one hand, saddle in the other..
