Title: revamped revcore rider
Post by: OrgasmDonor on September 20, 2011, 09:51 PM: rejigged this a while ago as the first time i built it it never grabbed me (although it was prob a nicer build than now) and ive been toying with selling it for over a year now as when i rode it it felt sluggish for no reason. The change in parts was an attempt to get it out riding again n give it another chance to move me, well i have n i would have been gutted if i sold it as it rides awesome, the only real change that could transfer to the way it feels is going from a 45t to a 44t and having an extra 5mm on the cranks, anyway some pics :)

the lever is VG n i agree it looked better before but psychologically it feels better now as the build (to me looks lighter) mental, but what is is :)

Matt

its a pro, 20" tt but steep seattube angle so it rides longer, has the same length downtube as my 21" TNT, rides well for an old f/f, thank god

seat guts n levers can go big, but prices are hit and miss, some bargains do still come up but last stem i saw was $250 n a set of purple seat guts went for $200+ a few months ago but ive seen them go for $80 recently too :daumenhoch:
