Firebird freestyler mk2 finished

<< < (5/5)

Glynnyboy:
Well it's been over a year since this got finished and I had put a few bits to one side to change over to keep the bike fresh in my mind. Even though these have been strange times the bike has still had three outings now. I've got a bit of time on my hands at the moment so thought I?d swap a few bits out. Before sourcing the ladder bars with this ff I had already got hold of some kuwahara bravo freestyle bars. I had them chromed and got them out today. The bars , a nice survivor set of unitrons, the buffs freshly laced to nos z hubs. The tyres are repop but this is one of my riders.
Looking forward to to being fit enough soon to be out on this. The rake on the bravo bars feels a load better. I had a soft spot for these after seeing how cool they looked on Steve Costa's orange / white build from years back.

I was going to at one point but I wanted to run the pads and I?d already had them made. Also the headtube angle on these when running the hutch stem leaves the bars hitting the seat anyway. So I?d have just been putting it on to look at. I could lower the seat a bit but really I just wanted the bike to look decent. My freestyle and race days are over, the bike just gets ridden on the meet up/ pub rides so I'm happy with the set up the way it is.

wildon:
Fair enough  :daumenhoch:
butchering the front brake to run the cable from the bottom is a nause too  :P
