Eldron Posted November 24, 2010 Share Eldron's old school Raleigh: Oooold Raleigh RM9 frameRockshox Duke RaceMavic Cross Max WheelsetXTR VeesTubeless Cross Marks (edit - hang on - those are Larsen TTs) Initially it was built by "the SS code" - meaning everything was sourced from my own spares bucket but chain drops meant I had to add DA BOMB. The seat and grips are new too. Pity the wheels are so small Edited November 24, 2010 by Eldron Matthew Van Der Walt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stretched@Birth Posted December 13, 2010 Share Not the best pics, but you get the idea... Giant ATX 860, now ATX SS, removed the cable guides and brake bosses, acid bathed the frame, powdercoated matt grey, upgraded to disk brakes, and Tyronne did the vinyl.

RodTi Posted December 14, 2010 Share S@B - that frame came out real nice... What's at the bottom of your seatpost - is that tape or a shim? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretched@Birth Posted December 14, 2010 Share S@B - that frame came out real nice... What's at the bottom of your seatpost - is that tape or a shim?Thanks, the powder coating came out better than I expected. It's a piece of inner tube taped around the seatpost, to protect it when I clamp on the Giant Half Wheeler to tow my 3 year old around the farm... Great for strength training! Will post some pics sometime! Doggone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stretched@Birth Posted December 15, 2010 Share I have a v-brake frame that I want to fit disk brakes to. is there a bracket for giant frames?Hi GT, my frame had the brake braket on it, so was an easy conversion (ok, relatively, removing the v-brake bosses took some work with the Dremmel ). Never seen any brackets to convert to disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
