yes the colour scheme is a 'bit' gopping
Its 'supposed' to be a bit of a play bike. So something small enough to have a dabble at dirt jumps, BMX tracks, 4X tracks, pump tracks (if I ever build one). The sort of stuff I know I'm no good at
Bought the frame only (came with: fitted headset, seat clamp, chainstay protector, 6 carbon headset spacers, 6 rubber cable/frame protectors, topcap, spare mech hanger and posted for less than £100.
Tried to build up with bits lying around. Had to buy a 73mm bottom bracket and some grips though
I need to get a shorter stem. Thinking 60mm, 25 deg or 50mm flat (what I've found in 25.4mm). I think I need to take the 685mm bars off and try my 640mms
It has Pinnacle written on it 😉
you need a list?
well - it is a singlespeed with a rear mech! If you are gonna have one of those there is no point!
stem is very wrong
you need to clean the moss off that wall
its a bit wet to be taking photos isn't it?
Nothing wrong with a bit of orange. Needs orange grips and pedals and a zero rise 50mm stem.
Shorter stem.
Better forks.
Doofer-esque thingy instead of a rear mech.
The only orange parts I had were the orange valve caps ..
I'm thinking the stem looks [b]so[/b] wrong because the saddle looks as if if thats pedalling height, whereas its low for me, just thats as high as the 250-300mm ish seatpost goes. I could try my 400mm one?
Clipped pedals to help with climbs
The pedals are one sided SPDs .. just because thats what I had lying around
I don't intend to climb with it. I'd need the seatpost to be about 100mm longer and the frame a bit bigger
Stem should definitely be first upgrade.
Plus you'll probably want to 9 speed it with a chain device soon. I went for the single speed jump/4x bike and found I was getting knackered riding it. Much more fun getting to the jump spots fresh.
I'll also have a set of DJ3's barely used I might be persuaded to part with in Dec when I swap them for a set of pikes....
drop that seat all the way down. same comments as above for stem and gears. id personally get a higher rise bar with a similar width but you would end up in pretty much the same position, just look way cooler! 8)
Ooh eck! Put a match to it!
