MK 2012, my wee challange.......
JT Smooth:
SO this year at MK my personal challange was to build a bike on the saturday for under a ton and
race it on the sunday and make the A final.......
I met Xgoose Dan on the Saturday morning and he told me about a rough FnF he had for Joff so I
had a look and asked to borrow it before he gave it to Joff, said FnF is a PHS Duster rough, ugly and heavy as!
Next..... Dan Harris
Rusty crank, one side slightly bent, odd pedals, chain disc, grim brake, shitty stem and a BB, what you want for that...... £2 er ok :daumenhoch:
Then I start looking for wheels, found a pile of stuff near heli pas, jar saying pay what you want...... heavy as fook rear with rusty freewheel £2
Another guy had a front wheel, wanted £10, settled on a fiver and he gave me some grips FOC :daumenhoch:
Back to Dan Harris, pair of tyres....... £2 ? er ok ;D
Bars, lever and brake blocks £10, real nice bars to ride aswell, sorry dude cant remember your RAD name.
Seat post, a dude has a pile of bits FOC....... :4_17_5:
Seat clamp....... rolled up to a stall near heli pad, asked for a £1 seat clamp but he only had a £2 one, he took the £1 I offered, thanks dude. He then asked me for a £1 for a seat, thanks :4_17_5:
Tubes £4, cheers Jai
Cable and chain are the only things I had used in my tool box.
1st moto was a struggle on it but managed 4th, 2nd moto got 2nd, 3rd moto got 4th, semi 4th, A Final......4th ;D
Thanks to everyone who sold me bits for very little dosh, great you got in the spirit of what I was trying to do :daumenhoch:
Jaymz:
Awesome fella, you were flying on it on the day
I did a day build @ MK too for well under a ton for the budget build off, was great fun
