It was just so ugly, and with the slack chain that I was thinking you might have not done it on purpose.

You should get a ratty old beat up brooks on it.

tilover · 11th July 2008

i love that logo so much i have ripped it off with my character. sweet.

fanz · 12th July 2008

There's a Sugino/Condor black crank and chainring on now as well, £50 from Condor including the chainring, a bargain

FBM BMX stem, mountain bike jump bars, broken saddle. The chain ain't slack, it's the angle of the photo. I've got a Conti Top Contact tyre on the back, too, thoroughly recommended

did u buy your front wheel from BLB?
if so, i am pretty sure its a corima

asm · 13th July 2008

Whooooo momma! Nice bike.

My grandparents live nearish harrogate. Just outside Knaresborough in fact.

+ 1

Awesome. Can we have close up on the bars? Moustache?

Also is that a Brooks Swallow?

tilover · 13th July 2008

yup.. brooks swift actually, and the bars are £10 north road bars chopped and flipped....

tilover · 13th July 2008

oo yeah, forgot that was last week,

just changed the forks and bars... the bars are chopped nittos, going to strip the frame this week and clearcoat lacquer it (maybe pinstripe the lugs)

also going to see if i can polish the decal on (its originally a condor)

knaresborough is nice, lots of nice hills around there

briankwan · 13th July 2008

^ nice cranks

tilover · 13th July 2008

thanks... i think i need to sell them though to fund another bike project... they are unnecessary bling as i have some perfectly fine mighty75s in the garage

If that was my baby I'd leave the decals off and put a chrome fork on there! But I'm just jealous, cause it ain't mine. Nice bike man!

tilover · 13th July 2008

i tried but couldnt find a chrome fork long enough! (need 285mm), the decals on it are under the lacquer so have to strip the whole frame to debadge it

:(

(when i redo them i want them to be uber subtle - just a little bit shinier than the actual finish of the steel)

Kelvin · 13th July 2008

be carefull you'll mark the sofa!

asm · 13th July 2008

Actually tilover, looking at that bike then looking at your other bike... isn't your other bike FAR too small for you?

tilover · 13th July 2008

hell yes! its a project bike, just something for fun and maybe polo this summer

in fact i think my friend marek will be claiming it if i can think of a price

what ya reckon? chas roberts track frame with undrilled forks and superlight tubing?

mikeymerk · 13th July 2008

...sounds like I want it
i'll formulate a plan to kill the marek fellow tonight
just for teh lulz

darkponey · 13th July 2008

didn't understand why you've changed the fork?
the blue one was nice....

tilover · 13th July 2008

i had a quill to ahead adapter and i don't trust them.. plus i like straight blade forks and figured it would help out on the tow overlap - which i has! i don't get stuck to my tyre at traffic lights now!

edscoble · 14th July 2008

seriously a nice bike, actually the fork colour is much more suited with the thin black crank arm.

CHUG_IT · 14th July 2008
