Inspired by Ed's recent brush with his 2 hip/riot wannabe build I managed to get hold of a NOS big boy from Jai @shiners (thanks mate) :4_17_5:
I've done this on a budget and with the generosity of fellow rad members (discostu & oldskoolflava) I've managed to get this done sub £500 which I think is great seeing that all this will get used for is the London rides and the occasional local wobble.
I must say its been a right b4stard to put together, the forks are 1" but as you see it has a clamp on stem which is near impossible to fit, I had to use a hydraulic press at work its that tight!!! :shocked:
Anyway, just cables and a possible tyre swap and my pub rider will be done, thanks again to all that helped make it happen! :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:

Did you not try putting the stem bolts in from the other side with a coin in the slot to open it up a bit before you put it in the press?

Probably true about the weight Steve lol....but these bike were built for real men that can ride. :daumenhoch: .....The heavier the better, it just proved how manly you were lol. There were no little girly bikes allowed near the ramps when the 2 Hips came out to play, the rest sat on the bench like a reserve team in the dugout :LolLolLolLol:

It is mate, coming off soon though as it doesnt keep the post tight.
When you look inside it the first half is 25.4mm and only a short area is 22.2mm so it doesnt keep a tight enough grip. ::)
-
Ah yeah - they're built for the 25.4mm seatposts that came out late 90's...bugger.
-
In fact - got a NOS 4-Jeri one you can have for nowt Rob, if you want it I'll pop you a piccy :)

To be honest i was never sure on these? but seeing this one built up has made me fall in love with them! wicked build mate
Oh and in my opinion leave the stickers as they are, or possibly a custom set no rebranding! ;)
