Took the tattiest uni out, I've got a MX chrome clamshell clamp I could put on. It's a bit of a mix front end is all new skool 1" threadless as well.

It weighs just under 20lbs, not bad really. It will be being raced in with new skool bikes.

thought the new and old worked quite well.

Post by: proclass35 on April 05, 2008, 09:06 PM: I'm no purist, and the mix of old and new is fine, I'm just not a fan of the seats with heavy graphics which can look a bit ill at ease with the old school stickers on the bike. At the end of the day it's being ridden and thats what matters. :daumenhoch:
But where are you racing junior cruiser? there doesn't seem to be many of these around, and the nationals only manage one gate...Good luck with it anyway!

Post by: Moschops on April 05, 2008, 09:23 PM: Not me racing it I think I excede the 100lbs weight limit :LolLolLolLol:

My eldest lad will be riding it regionaly in 12 and under in East Anglia this year, there will be a couple of others doing that age group as well.

Chance of a Britts title maybe :daumenhoch:

Or maybe not knowing who else has bought a cruiser over the winter.
