I'm thinking of selling my 94 cindercone singlespeed and putting most of the bits onto a small jump type frame to learn to get air, manual and all that jazz. Inspire me with your builds and bikes.
My now dismantled and sold play bike. Silly light frame yet somehow ended up heavy as hell with howitzer bb and enormo tyres. Great fun to ride though, and you could just step off the back of it.

swiftacular interested in the transition, drop me a mail at men5bh@leeds.ac.uk with some details and a price
Stonemonkey, I find myself quite jealous of you if you are lucky enough to own that sunn (closet sunn fan here). I take it it's a bmix of some variety? I never saw one in that colour though.
Rockdodger, i have a 24-7 Dark Angel for sale if swiftaculars's transistion doesn't work out?

Thanks bought it off a guy from here, my 2nd sunn. Think its a 98 model i had a team one with R mech hanger and obyss fork in the team blue from bercy about 10 years ago and my aim is to recreate it with this. But the yellow is almost to nice to scrap.
Vortex, its a powdercoated Bitter which is the same as a Ged.
Ta, thought it was.
I had a GED for a couple of years, great bike
Oh yeah, RD, ygm.
JonE, is that an orange BeFe? . . . looks great 8)
Loving the Transition and of course Pinches' Tazer too.
Suppose it'd be rude not to post a pic of the 'flying v' one last time before it hits the 'bay . . .

(sorry OP for slight threadjack)mamadirt, what did you think of the manitous? and which model are they? just looking for some hard hitting medium travel 20mm forks, and keep going back to Pikes
They are fantastic forks - very light and lockout/compression damping is great. They're the Elite Absolute 120s (20mm). They're on the Inbred at the mo but I'll be selling them in 3-4 weeks time when I get my new bike sorted as they're too short travel-wise for the new project.
Mamadirt, I'd be interested in your Manitous if Swiftacular isn't.
Just mail me with details closer to the time.
Cheers
Are they stuck at 120mm, or will they adjust to 140mm?
Swiftacular, they are fixed 120mm travel, not the IT adjustable version.
Mole, I've had a few enquiries from folks on here but I'll hang on to youremail addy and get in touch once they're up for sale.
Cheers guys. keep them coming. I'm still clueless as to what to buy. All I know is I want something I can chuck about and that will take my D521 v-brake wheels and probably the cheapo InSync forks I've got in the shed.
I like Arrow DSSs... but good luck getting hold of one

stonemonkey - gotta love the bmix. i had one for years and loved it. i absolutely thrashed tha pants off it too.
sold it as i couldnt afford to do it up but would buy another tomorrow.

I have a Bmix too. Bought it from the bike shop i used to ride for just over 10 years ago. Its Yellow with yellow forks and pedals. Pic to follow soon.
Not very good, and neither am I at riding it, though I've not had it long or ridden it much on 4X/DJ style stuff. Mostly made up of bits too worn out for normal riding + heavily discounted frame which minus the RRPs of the all the extras that came included, the frame came to about £5 ..

With a 400mm seatpost (carbon 27.2 flexed rather a lot .. ) at full extension it rode reasonably well round sherwood pines
I'd quite like some 140/150mm forks for it, though I've no idea where I'd ride a SS, jacked up front end, too small bike?
E-B - I have a Bmix too.
Just in the process of finishing my BMIX. red wi yellow 5pc forks. very nice
elma - Any excuse to show off my BMIX, still love it.
Full shimano dx bmx
ah the classic chrome. how do you find the bmx bars, i tried some but found them too high
I'm 6' 3" so the cruiser bars are great, the original bars were way too low.

modernised bmix
its a bit rooty where i ride and muddy so rigid is not an option. 80mm toras help my ageing wrists.
just picked up some gusset cranks for it and now i`m looking for a pair of tyres to finish it off. also now running a front disk for dh razzing.
clips on bmix alert!
boooooo
