Title: Profile Mini Champ Pro Shelby James, Not Done, but Done
Post by: Surf911s on April 05, 2010, 12:43 AM

Well, after 4 years, it pretty much done. Since I can't find a SR mini clamp, I'll have to place a DK clamp on it. This frame has the smaller diameter tubing on the top tube, and seat post tube, same size as the Mag mini, unlike my other mini champ pro, without the Shelby Decal, that has the same size top tube, and seat post tube, as the 20", and 24"s.

Confusing. :/

Anyway, I built this build off of the Shelby James test I have in my Profile Info thread. And since they probably used the Mini Champ with the 1" seat tube, this build isn't 100%. I didn't know going into the build, that the top tube, and seat post tube were different, until I received my NOS Mini Champ Pro frame set.I also Need Chro mo, white Powerlite bars, instead of the correct sized Alum bars. And it has Bottema forks. But needless to say, the rest of the bike follows the parts list for the test.

AGAIN, all parts on this build are listed in the specifications list above - minus the SR clamp, and Chro-mo bars, even though the bars "are" the correct size that is listed, and the color scheme is a little different

No way is that head angle 72 degrees as quoted in the magazine.  It looks more like 68 degrees to me.

you know the sr clamps have 'like' a lip on the top
-well they used a shim under them - i have had one in the past

also worth noting that the handle bar cross bar on renthals is 22.2mm = 7/8ths, they fit too
plus i have some spare.
