Fit Mixtape V3 build and etc.
Midschoolfool:
Blimey. It was only after looking back at the Hope pedals that I clocked just how these are a total rip off :LolLolLolLol:
I'm going to call them no hope pedals. Far more BMX :LolLolLolLol: Might have to get some decals made hahahaha. I do like me a good piss take :LolLolLolLol:
Midschoolfool:
Up all night throwing up. Ahh life.
I did find this.
If I can get the logo off I will make something like this :LolLolLolLol:
Midschoolfool:
OK so this was done yesterday.
As was this.
Pedals came earlier. They are absolutely gorgeous.
Have cleaned the left one already, will do the right when I come to fitting.
Midschoolfool:
Decided to buy different tyres. The Fit are great, but totally dangerous in the wet. I don't want the bike swapping ends on me. And yeah, I think this one will become the one I ride. The S&M turned out too nice, and besides one ride and it will look shit. So I am going to clean up the Metal and turn it back into the collector's item it always was. I wanted higher bars on that, but nothing suit it better than the ones on there (they are only 8.5, though). Besides all of that the T/A are only 2.2s. And if I am going to ride a modern bike I want big F off tyres. I mean why not?
So I got a pair of these on sale. Worked out at 17 quid each, 2.45.
Wanted something else to tie into the seat. What I wanted was brown, but I don't like Ruben tyres (and I hate BSD Donnasqueak). Ruben tyres are rough and extremely noisy. So these should fit the bill perfectly.
Midschoolfool:
Forgot to say. The reason I cleaned the left pedal is because I was trying to remove the logo so I could make my own. Unfortunately it is on there, and I didn't want to get rough and chance effing them up beyond repair. So I left that alone.
The brake came today (gorgeous) and so did the annoying parts I needed (brake post mounts, cable stop kit and sprocket top hat) so I will get some pics of that shortly.
I made the final order about 5 mins back. This.
I want something to tie the BB into the build. I didn't want to spend loads of cash on a new headset so I grabbed that for 9.99 delivered. The Sunday I have is not conical and has hardly any spacers and I AM NOT cutting that fork. Sod that.
