Hey guys I'm back for good now  :LolLolLolLol:
But thought I'd throw up what I've been using for work over the last Year or so ;)
I've just modded the frame to take mx1000's just need to get some matching levers :)

Sorry for the crap iPhone pics :(


08 ripper
Skyway griphites
Twin pinch flights
Shimano sx
Nos gold whitehawk power disk
New DC mx1000's

ozone:
Do the rear calipers reach the rim?  Looks like they're going to hit the tyre from the pics.   :-\

The bike looks really nice though...

Would it be possible to remove a link from the chain and slide the wheel forward to get better allignment?

brettypeeps:
Sweet looking Retro Ripper well done :smitten:

Shorten the chain for the rear brake :daumenhoch:

dwain dibbly:
Yeah they do line up ok. I had to make an angled washer to the them to sit right. As you say I need to shorten the chain and bring the wheel in but f*kin typical I've just broke my chain splitter ::) so I will sort it at the weekend ;)

Dark Diggler:
Or get a really nice V brake.... John, it is a retro ripper so why not have a nice V-brake that works, like a Pauls components or a top end Shimano and besides, that repop caliper brake with those exposed v-bake lugs.....oh dear
