Title: pictures of c0cks! s&m ng holmes
Post by: darkersomeday on August 01, 2007, 11:35 AM

as many of you will have seen from my regular posts in the wanted section i've been searching all over the shop for one of these badboys!
one turned up right under my nose in dirty old steel city :daumenhoch:

i'm going to put it on one side till i can figure out what to do with it, i was going to go the whole resto route but the stickers on it are too good to rip-rip off, plus i actually prefer them to the earlier set i'd got lined up :smitten:

if memory serves me from the s&m catalogue these were around 8.5lb so it should build up into a goliath of a bike,
i had one years ago when they first released them and loved the geometry but hated the weight, ironic eh?

the forks are 14mm pitch's and the bars are the stillo's off my challenger, do i do the forks yellow or strip the bars and have them both done in black?

i'm shooting for 40lbs+ :LolLolLolLol:
any suggestions for THE heaviest parts ever made would be massively appreciated :daumenhoch:
