P.S thanks anyone who has helped me out with parts

Likey likey :daumenhoch:

nice, and the ss cranks suit it perfectly, normal profiles would look too skinny on that frame :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:

yeah i really wanted SS for this build, cos alot of newschoolers still run profiles, i wanted people to be able to see the contrast! :P
-
nice,
i've got a nos in the bag kink guard that would suit that spot on,
warpig=legend.

yeah mate, ive got a Nos guard myself for it, just need a decent condition chainring- think the one i have ran a bog chain- it is mashed up!

little update on this rainy day

primo tenderizers (i found hidden in my garage! win)
primo rod, ideally wanted back but couldn't find one!
and the S&M seat ive had in my cupboard waiting for a ride to go on- was torn between this one or the black and white one i have, i think ive chosen rite
-
seat and pedals look nice and chunky so suit the frame well :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:
you just need some chunky looking wheels next, maybe a set of alex supra e rims, they only weigh 845 grams each :LolLolLolLol:

nice find, ill have to get the scales out once mines done and find see who's is heaviest! it currently weighs in at 24lbs, more than my complete LTF!
-
hahaha. My Bennett weighed around 34/35 complete when it was finished. And thats using new school parts :LolLolLolLol:
Lets see the LTF Andy?
i can only guess what the warpig will weigh in at then ;D
and the LTF, its wet outside but the most recent pic i have is this one, ive had it since last christmas- best frame ive ever run- imagine it with slightly bigger 4 peice and no doughnuts and thats how she sits now:

I would weigh it but I dont have a set of scales. Not fishing scales, bathroom scales, nothing.
I have no idea how much I weigh, let alone any of my bikes :LolLolLolLol:

(note: this is also an excellent way to weigh a suitcase if going abroad)
-
Nice build this. Looking forward to the finished article.
-
put it on your Wii fit board!
On my WHAT?
FFS!!!! :uglystupid2:
-
oh I thought you had one of those Wii boards! lol.

That's going to be tough when it's finished :daumenhoch: get some Supra E's on it as well! I'm going for 42lbs if the E's are used.
-

when he gets the brakes on you'll be spot on I reckon! oh and the gyro. that's gotta be a pound in weight easy. brakes, levers, cables and the gyro hardware!
(hey Kev, saw you riding at Corby, didn't get round to saying hi, sorry, next time)
-

no worries :daumenhoch: i was the same with some people as i had no idea who anyone was, luckily a few people reconised my bike and said hello :LolLolLolLol:
