The orange tank. Morales BTS MK2.

OK. The only pedals that can make everything cry at once. You, your wallet and your shins :LolLolLolLol:
I had to. Especially when I read the weight "Plenty" :LolLolLolLol:
I've been riding two sets of their Nano pedals for over three years and they are superb.
Midschoolfool:
Ordered some more parts. Wait for the disclaimer :LolLolLolLol:
Firstly the long unflanged grips. Not mid school enough, not even close. As soon as I fitted them I realised they looked all wrong.
Much better.
So did the bars. I found a set of bars in the shed. Over sized, fat AF and nicely welded.
I then found out they are from a really terrible cheap bike. However, after some digging I found out that they are very popular for beach cruisers in the USA and sell for $70. So, I am beginning to wonder if they were just leftover stock or something weird that ended up in the hands of this crap company. I don't want to sound like a know all dick head but I know my parts and I know quality. All you have to do is pick something up. They are amazingly light for something so tanky, and I am pretty sure they are made from 4130. I have hi ten 2pc steel bars here (Vocal Neptune and Radio bars I used on the Fat Boy) and these weigh half. Even with the oversized tubes. Still, I didn't want to commit so I found another option. These are made for a trials bike, but have a 7" rise. Which is about right for mid school and they look very different, which is what this build will be all about.
Whether I will use them? it may literally come down to putting a few sets on and seeing how they look at the end. At least I don't have to paint them, so there's that. This is a very unusual frame, so I am trying to get unusual parts for it. What I did get though was an Astroglide lower cable for the gyro.
Midschoolfool:
Apparently the brake pads are all wrong. When you have wheels like that you have to have these :LolLolLolLol:
Chilli Rinse:
Liking the 2nd set of bars. Oddly cool :coolsmiley:
Midschoolfool:
Yeah, there's something about them tbh. They were only ?15, so if I don't like them then *shrug* really. I'll cut the bejesus out of them too :LolLolLolLol:
