Ready for the big wobble
motomagII:
yeah look at the bike fron the side and try angle the bars in line with the forks .ride it round a bit see if you can get used to it like that as its the best way of steering stops front end twitchyness and you have more control over the bike/steering if done like i said
took me ages to get used to bars like this but trust me long term its way better

I was tempted myself as it's a lovely F&F that I remember from BiTD wth guys like Terry Tennet racing it - but as it's the same size as my Haro OS racer I didn't think there was any point.

cheers Greg :daumenhoch:, yeah angle make the bars look more for forward than they are , seat hight is just for rolling around will drop it a bit , undecided weather to cut it in half or not :-\ , she's gained a few pounds too, swapped the forks , had a problem with crown bearing seat, it's that odd smaller size on the forks and i haven't got a bearing seat that fits , so rather than risk damaging the forks swapped for some DB ones for now, crank set is no light weight either ,although its bomb proof , or rather fatty proof :LolLolLolLol:
motomagII:
mm the forks are original to the frame though what was the problem did u change the headset ?it worked okay for me .?
James Nada:
That looks like a decent OS Racing Ride to me :daumenhoch:
Nice and long so will be quite stable if you're worried about being "wobbly".
Don't about not using original OS parts. The vast majority of OS Series riders don't give a shit - so long as you are in the spirt of the event.
