droo Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 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. Aside from a ruptured testicle when you forget to sit on it before pushing the button...
Odinson Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 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.
Rushdee Posted August 10, 2016 Author Posted August 10, 2016 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.. #shouldvegonecotic

Landing a jump with an exposed chair-pole is enough to make any man wince ..
