Post by: OrgasmDonor on January 31, 2008, 03:54 PM: That is cool as fook, really nice :daumenhoch: whats the score with the cam plate?
Title: Re: S&M "CHALLENGER " done at last
Post by: harris on January 31, 2008, 03:56 PM: it needs a posi stop so will get that soon but no rush
Title: Re: S&M "CHALLENGER " done at last
Post by: OrgasmDonor on January 31, 2008, 04:00 PM: it should work fine without a pozistop, just thought you knew a midschool tweak with the cam plate being backside first, hadnt read your first bit properly about you waiting on an inner :idiot2:

that stems really nice too, :daumenhoch:

what bars?

Post by: woody allen bars on January 31, 2008, 05:35 PM: Wow, very business-like, looks ready to go...fast.

My only query would be over the seat, a bit late or no? (yep, I know, like Alex says, I'm "a slave to era correctness")

Lovely jubbly :4_17_5:
Title: Re: S&M "CHALLENGER " done at last
Post by: SaMAlex on January 31, 2008, 11:56 PM: Dan, Im glad you didnt do anything stupid to it like some of your other builds. If you had made another Big Daddy or Trickstar out of this one Id have been gutted! :2funny:

It looks way way nice. Lovin the cranks and chainring. So nice that you have got undrilled challenger forks. The bars are great, I dont think youd want real early slams on a challenger.

I dont really like the pedals (too bling) or the stem (I prefer front loaders) but thats just me, its your bike!

Title: Re: S&M "CHALLENGER " done at last
Post by: harris on February 01, 2008, 09:00 PM: hmmm good idea :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: S&M "CHALLENGER " done at last
Post by: teamsano on February 02, 2008, 07:14 PM: worked a treat, it was a larger cable adjuster out of a tech 77.
Title: Re: S&M "CHALLENGER " done at last
Post by: SaMAlex on February 02, 2008, 07:22 PM: Didnt the cam pull to one side something awful?

Post by: dialledbikes on February 03, 2008, 10:36 PM: That Challenger scrubbed up really nicely, Dan :daumenhoch:

I'll have to send mine around to yours for a refurb ;)

Those stickers from my sticker man look awesome.

A tip with the Pitbull - use a Pozi Stop, but run it upside down and have the outer cable around the seat clamp as vertical as possible.
