my work bike

i wanted a hack to get to work on that i wasnt bothered if is sat outside in the rain all day. decided a cruiser would be cool. this frame was rescued from a skip but was bright yellow, not exactly subtle. i stripped the paint, prepped the rust (but left the dents) then hand painted grey then red primer, then brown over the top. i then matted it off to age it. i am hoping as it gets used it will wear through to the primer in places.

anyway, the cheap build went out the window. the saddly is a traditional brooks - over £100 retail! i paid £40. the rims are full on downhill race rims. seatpost is an old skool U.S.E. and the bars are reversed Scotts, circa 1992. tyres were £60 but were too cool to turn down.

amazingly this bike owes me more than my golf build does!

here's a pic...

thats awsome and cost more that ur golf rebuild aswell...

pure madness but i like it think this bike looks awsome

schweet
always fancied something a bit retro cool as a shop bike
i also know the feeling of having a bike worth more then my car its good fun though

This is my steed, she takes me over 40 miles a week and love it!

fixie?

Nah just single speed, was gonna grab a fixie cog next week and try it out

lovong the bikes thinks ther a cool addition to any garage

Cheers dude.

I have bought a sprocket that bolts onto a 6 bolt disc mount so i'm going to try fixed offroad this summer.

i have no bike atm just split my old one just a collection of parts, iron horse mk3 frame, mutant xray frame, avid elixer cr disk brake, rockshoox pike's, hope and thomson stems, blckmrkt bars, should probarly do something with them :/

my ride owes me over 2k =p

Looks pretty hard. I used to spend loads on bikes but no more. I have as much fun on my 30 quid diamond back single speed as i did on my 2.5k airborne titanium beauty.

haha yh but i wouldnt trust a £30 diamondback off a 20ft plus drop =p

and i wouldnt trust me on a 30ft drop either!

or 3ft for that matter

This was mine before I sold it, I built this up as a trials bike when I was about 15 with my paper round and saturday job money. ended up costing me roughly what my car owes me. A few years ago I changed a few things to make it more usable. Some of you may spot the Magura HS33 hydraulic brake

thats pretty phat adi, but Im afraid the cruz takes it. Love the look of a DH bike, proper awesome rake

cheers =p
