. . . and I love it :smitten:
(http://images.fotopic.net/?iid=11hsfc&noresize=1&nostamp=1&quality=70)
Just posted a couple more pics and a parts rundown in the newschool section of the museum (http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=2251.105). Built mainly with Odyssey and budget Blank finishing kit, I'm sure upgrade fever will hit soon (my orange fetish keeps drawing me to the florange Profiles in Stodgy's shop ;) ). Feels so damn light :D . The jury's still out on the low seat tho' it'd be sacrilage to take a hacksaw to such a thing of beauty - hopefully I'll get used to it before arthritis sets in ;)

:) That looks great.Def not sacrilege to cut off the built in pivvy post and get a nice clamp & post instead,will still look brill :daumenhoch:
-
looks great
-
Very nice mate. :4_17_5:

I would have one but i just bought my new frame at a steal!

Cheers all :daumenhoch: . I was almost set to chop off the pivotal mount until I read this on the rideonbmx.com.au blog . . .
. . . a Subrosa Pandora Frame to the specs but with 2 top tubes and an Inbuilt Pivotal seat post (can be cut if you want to rock the seat sky high with help from a wedge post) (http://www.rideonbmx.com.au/BlogRetrieve.aspx?BlogID=2823&PostID=51637)
. . . but figured that it wasn't worth it for the small amount of extra height a wedge post would give (most seem pretty short), although I suppose it would save on cutting a seat tube slot. I guess if I could be sure a standard BMX clamp and post would fit I may be tempted (there's a pic over on bmxmuseum.com (http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/subrosa/32632) with a seat clamp and post fitted) but for now I shall just step away from the hacksaw ;) .

Dont cut it. :-X
-
for the sake of real bmx cut the post and rock at least 3 fists of post, DO IT!

Ha! Well folks, after all that I've decided to step away from the Pandora and get myself something a little shorter in the toptube that I can leave outside work without more locks than the Bank of England ::) . She's a work of art :smitten: but if I'm totally honest I need a cheap-ass rider with a sub 20" t/t . . . and I've spent far too much cash this year already.
If any of you folks are interested, please drop me a PM - I'm looking for around £180 posted for the frame (with original receipt and packaging and including mid b/b and Odyssey headset). Apologies if this is out of order . . . note to self: must sort out site supporters tag this year ;)

Looks good, keep it, you'll only regret selling it
And dont chop the pivotal off
-
ohhhhhhhhhhh chop it you!

Quick update: Listed the frame on a well-known auction site at the beginning of last week with very mixed feelings. It's a blinkin' work of art . . . I love it to bits but a bmx is for riding not looking at ::) ;) and to be honest at just 5'2", a 20.5" toptube is far too long for me. I've found a more suitably sized replacement though in the form of a tiny Fit Logic frame :D so I feel I can let her go now . . . sniff :'( . Auction ends this evening if anyone's interested . . . just don't cut that pivotal ;)

I reckon 2 weeks is more than long enough to wait for payment :tickedoff: - I'm sick to death of non-paying bidders >:( . If anyone's interested the DTT will be relisted tomorrow evening.

What a tosser, make sure you report it to ebay and claim back your selling fee's!

Yep, done Robbo. I'm a pretty patient person but I've had this happen a couple of times recently.
Edit 09.02.10: Just heard from my original buyer with a genuine reason and apology for being unable to complete the purchase.
