Title: my new school build subrosa pandora dtt updated pics
Post by: stevied on January 07, 2011, 02:23 PM: i have a new school bike but i didnt build it, so i think nows about time to build one. i never realised how much money was involved though- fookin rear hubs are stupid prices!
so anyway the frame turned up today and ever since i first saw one of these i wanted one just because its got a twin top tube :D
il update pics as parts turn up and i build it
so far:

Post by: stevied on January 07, 2011, 04:49 PM: i did see they done one with a built in seatpost, seems a bloody stupid idea if you ask me as it has no adjustment :idiot2: :idiot2:

Post by: pickle on January 07, 2011, 06:09 PM: 99% of people have their seats slammed so it makes no odds to most.

Post by: firebird4130 on January 07, 2011, 07:21 PM: I think 99% of people buying one of these frames would be old schoolers wanting to relive the past, not following current trends like slammed posts

Post by: stevied on January 16, 2011, 02:41 PM: its still not done yet but im getting there just need some more money to finish, the front wheel is not the correct one as its gonna have a red eclat front hub to match the back and ive got an eclat rim for the front, im still undecided as to what colour sprocket to run? any way heres some pics so far

Post by: Bettyswallocks on January 16, 2011, 04:10 PM: Nice dude, get yer seat up a bit though

Got some of those union bullet bars, loved em but found 8" rise bars way better for my knackered back

Red or polished for the sprocket... :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: my new school build subrosa pandora dtt updated pics
Post by: stevied on January 16, 2011, 04:16 PM: red or polished is exactly the dilemma i have on the sprocket, im leaning towards polished though as everything red part seems to be a slightly different shade of red :-\
Title: Re: my new school build subrosa pandora dtt updated pics
Post by: Bettyswallocks on January 16, 2011, 04:19 PM: Go with polished dude, its what i was leaning to n all

It'll go well with chrome profiles.... :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: my new school build subrosa pandora dtt updated pics
Post by: stevied on January 16, 2011, 04:21 PM: i reckon thats the way to go, just gotta earn some money now to finish it off

Post by: mamadirt on January 17, 2011, 05:12 PM: Looks very nice indeed :smitten: . Still look back at the pics of my old red one (http://mamadirt.fotopic.net/p62946873.html) - shame it was really too long. I've seen shorty versions over on ebay usa but don't know if they ever made it to these shores.

Post by: welsh denny on January 17, 2011, 08:56 PM: or get one of those odyssey chainwheel sprockets which look like old school set up but in minature. they do em in colours with polished alloy.

i run one 25t black/silver. nice and snug on chain too due to squarer teeth. worth a gander at and prob look cool on your bike. :daumenhoch:

Post by: stevied on January 17, 2011, 10:01 PM: i went on ebay today and was going to buy one of them in red/polished but i was £6 short in my paypal account >:( at least im pretty sure i know what im getting just gotta wait for some money to clear

Post by: roystonvilla on January 26, 2011, 10:39 PM: I love the pandora dtt. This is my first new school build too!

I also bought one solely for the old school looking top tube.

Here is my one finished.
