Title: Solid Dropout Skyway T/A
Post by: FuNMoNsTeR on June 05, 2007, 05:12 PM: Well... Its finally built :) Had some probs with the last few bits. The IRC Race chain i have was a wee bit short but fitted... just. This meant i had to swap out the rear DC MX1000 for a Bulldog i had. I actually had a 650mm mini brake fitted at one point ;D
I had no front black cable so i stuck a red DC one on. Anyway... i can tell you now... It Flies :D Cant wait until my Powerlite Pro bars come... it will feel even better then. The Koxx wheels are superb and roll on and on and on :) I will swap some other bits out such as pedals for MK. The worlds first built up prototype solid dropout T/A ? ???

£64 + postage was a bargain... they are about £3-£400 new i think.
They blamed it on their son leaving it near an open window.... Sad :( I will find another...though that was perfect...size and everything ;)

Thanks for the kind comment Snav m8 :) I Had to come up with something saucy to rival that Ripper you are building ;)
