STM, very nice bike looks special. Everything looks great together!!   Did you build it yourself?

 

 

 

And how much does the frame weigh?>Speedi2008-08-21 09:07:04

[singletrackmind]

Not sure how much the frame weighs hey. And yes I built it myself. And it does look great together

[singletrackmind]

Haha not allowed to put the bike on the couch!! To expensive, mom will shoot me

[Speedi]

ha ha ok, how did you learn to build bikes?

[singletrackmind]

Kinda taught myself over time hey, always liked to try fix my own bike and so iv learned  a lot along the way. Also i read the instruction manuals when i dont know what to do. 

[Speedi]

ok well done man. my dad builds my bikes, so i always help him and im beginning to learn slowly... can do a couple of things. but the cables get confusing! Speedi2008-08-21 09:18:59

[singletrackmind]

haha the cables took a while to learn but now do them with my eyes half shut. And set my gears etc, also service my own bike, road and mtb.

 

You will get there slowly, i only started cycling 2 years ago and iv learned all that in that time

 

[Speedi]

yeah it saves you a lot of money in the long run. a full service at my LBS costs R250(could be wrong) and if your bike goes in once a month.... well ja

[singletrackmind]

yea i do mine after every big ride. A service here is like R300 so yeah i understand what you saying
