Title: My builds, comments please.
Post by: Tony1971 on October 12, 2012, 02:06 PM
I`ve not been long back on the scene, so I would like your comments on my build so for. The purists might not like my bikes but comments anyway.

Fook the purist's  :D  :LolLolLolLol:

All 3 are cracking looking bikes  8)

That cali looks awesome with the skinny pro class on  :coolsmiley: ripper looks classy as hell with some nice parts on and the Kuwi looks great for a custom build , possibly a bigger chainring  :-\

Nice work Tony  :daumenhoch:

Thanks for the comments.
Matt the goose was my 12th birthday prezzy in 83, one post I had BITD the other from fleebay last year.
Pickle, Ive adjusted the bars now.
Norty40 The rear hub is a suntour casette with a 14T so I had to go small on the front. I looked for ages for a bigger rear sprocket but no joy.

DAMN! Tony, I love all them bikes bro  ;)  You done an awesome job  :coolsmiley:

If you're riding the Kuwi, don't be afraid to put a 43T on the front. I run a 43 with a 14T on one and a 44 with a 14T on the other of my Direct links. Both are great gearing. I also use 175 arms which I guess you have too.

Great stuff  :)
