Title: 1995 S&M Dirtbike build - almost done
Post by: stidds on March 08, 2014, 03:40 PM: I don't usually post pictures until a bike is complete, but I like this one so much I thought I would post some piccies.

The bike is 98% complete, just some brake, seat and plate stuff to update.

I also love the Mario and Luigi valve caps :daumenhoch: ;D

I have really enjoyed building this one and really love the way it shines in the sun...

I agree Kev, I have some in transit, as I said at the start it isn't finished yet, but it was really sunny and I just needed to show it.

Excellent :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:

Post by: stidds on March 08, 2014, 09:43 PM: Question for you guys, should I keep and use the Selle Italia Criterium seat or get myself a S&M shield seat?
Title: Re: 1995 S&M Dirtbike build - almost done
Post by: Dannywhac on March 08, 2014, 10:19 PM: I'd keep the Selle Sean - the shield seats (imho) look a bit naff in comparison. You end up with a bike that's covered in S&M stuff and loses that individual build look :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: 1995 S&M Dirtbike build - almost done
Post by: Gish on March 08, 2014, 10:27 PM: looking real nice sean :smitten:

keep the seat on dude but lower the seatpost :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: 1995 S&M Dirtbike build - almost done
Post by: WINI on March 08, 2014, 10:28 PM: That's lush. Got a couple of mates over here that are S&M mad and I reckon would love this :4_17_5:
Title: Re: 1995 S&M Dirtbike build - almost done
Post by: stidds on March 08, 2014, 11:09 PM: Thanks guys, will keep the seat on it, I prefer that as it saves me loads of cash :LolLolLolLol:

Finally someone who feels the same way as I so about S&M seats! :LolLolLolLol: Ive never seen one on a bike and thought it looks right on there. In my opinion there were always better options out there.
