Very nice that. Welcome back Chris.
-
Never went away ben, just had nothing to post about!!!
-
Nice One Chris, some really nice craftsmanship gone into that & the colour is very cool :daumenhoch:
-
Beautiful!! How much are these frames? :daumenhoch:
-
A basic sta frame is $399, $80 shipping. Then you start tinkering with geometry (adapt for 22" wheels etc) and add OCD standard s logos brazed everywhere and the cost inches up, haha. But in all honesty it's not worked out THAT expensive, especially compared to buying a stock high end frame off the shelf in the UK... (Probably some denial going on here on my behalf, ;))
-
Finally! Complete and working!

:4_17_5: nice color , looks like it'll eat up any ramp you throw it at :daumenhoch:
what's the gearing Chris ? bit hard to tell from the pics but hows the clearance over the brake
think tha got mice, big uns , tha seen hole in door.................. :LolLolLolLol:
-
30-10. Masses of clearance, evoII on the back.
-
Nice. Gotta love a 22 incher >:D
-
:daumenhoch:
-
yeah, that's a very nice frame. What's it like to ride?
-
Rides so nice! I had a wethepeople avenue 24 which was ok but only really for sloping about. This feels like a bmx, but the right size for me! 22" top tube helps, I am 6 ft 3.. The tall seatpost doesn't look out of place on this, my tall one on my 250s looks a bit odd..

Had to get a toys r us piranha tyre (!) from eBay for the rear, the f22 was just too fat to clear the brakes.. Although now I have it running I might try it again

Nice indeed. Are those the new Faction wheels?
-
They are, very nice too..
-
That looks really good Chris :daumenhoch:

Thanks for all the compliments chaps. Really happy with how it turned out. Not sure about the plastic pedals, may have to go for some high polish metal platform pedals, but can't have any more parcels turning up for a while!
-
Hey hey.. S&M have released 22" mainline tyres, 2.1 width. Get in there!
-
Very nice :daumenhoch:
