DJuice Posted November 12, 2020 Share I think the paint job kinda spoils it. The red's a bit much, especially with so much gold (ahem, Kashima) on the rest of it. While that's cool and all, it's not really impressive. The engineering behind the individual parts is impressive, that's for sure. But there's no skill in buying a bunch of expensive parts and bolting them on. With that being said, I don't know why, but I need rope spokes in my life. Maybe its just jealousy as my dik gat would break the axle spindle off with the first pedal stroke (I am 3kg over the weight limit). Art? That's a bit of a stretch even for dada. It's just bolting expensive parts to a frame.Please look into Dangerholm. He modifies his bikes to the extreme, do all the graft himself.Sanding down paint to bare carbon, stripping fork lowers to magnesium, polishing hubs and bolts. Yes I am a fanboy of his work.

DR ◣◢ Posted November 12, 2020 Share https://www.pinkbike.com/news/building-the-worlds-lightest-29er-dh-bike.html That build really impressed me. A full on DH bike that weighs the same as my trail bike. Super impressive. DJuice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaGearA Posted November 12, 2020 Share Give a standard spark frame and all these components to Cwc mechanic and the bike he builds (I'd he doesn't wreck half the componentry) would likely weigh at least 1.5kg more Gustav goes stuff no one thinks off and his end products are art imo, how many of us would change jockey wheels to nice ones? I'd bet quite a few would and most of the others would complain about how expensive they are Gustav doesn't stop there, he gets a carbon parallelogram and body for the rear derailleur Appreciate it or go about your day, this is piss cool and I fall into the circle of people that appreciate it JohanDiv, Wayne pudding Mol and DJuice 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
