rabitstink Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Hi All, Decided to stop lurking and let you see my MC50 build.Got hold of the frame last year ( thanks Johann !!!) stripped it right down to check what I needed to start the build. I started ordering and bidding on stuff through the whole of December and ended up getting parts from all over the world. All arived last week, well all except for a few bits and pieces that are on the way now. My first bicycle build so let me know what you think .... >>>>> The Frame, with new bearings and all the other little bits and pieces. Ready to start assembling... >>>>> The Frame, assembled at last... Took quite some time this, had to pop out to the shops twice to get more little bits and pieces. >>>>> Next step, a hard won Fox Tallas RLC Fork and headset ( which turned out to have the wrong bearings, so im just assembling for now so that i can carry on, new headset on its way !!! )

Hairy Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Nice work Where did you find that seat post ... did you have to use shims or is it the full dia. 34.9mm?

splat Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Looks like a great build so far.Good fun to build your own bike! (Just remove the frisbee from behind your cassette - negative trail cred points there...)

rabitstink Posted January 12, 2010 Author Posted January 12, 2010 Anyway, I am stuck now, waiting for rotors, adapters and my tool to put the crank on ... lol about the frisbee... i actually thought it looked pretty nice
Omlette Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 shweeeeet bike!!!cant waite to see it completed
thegoose Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 you dont need any tool to put the crank on - just tighten the star shaped thing in the crank with a tyre lever (its not supposed to be that tight anyway). then you tighten the bolts with an allen key
