if this was your bike....
http://www.colonybmx.com.au/catalogue/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=20
what would YOU change to make it lighter and aid your riding
cheers :daumenhoch:
-
nothing tbh,
its a great bike as it is, i'd ride it :daumenhoch:
wait till stuff wears out or breaks before getting into all that bollocks :daumenhoch:
-
i just wanted to personalise it a touch and thought if im gonna change summat might aswell be summat i only have to change once........... :)
-
pedals maybe?
a fancy stem?
fly brake?
superlight colony lever?
if you want it genuinely personalized, ride it all summer, strip it for a week in the winter and send it of to SB dan for some swish as fook powder coat ;)
-
theres an irony in asking people what they would change if you wanted to personalise something
id fook the pivotal off - just dont like them :yahoo_silent:
not a fan of names on tyres either
-
well the obvious things:
brake cable in a different colour, grips, seat, but to be honest it's all good stuff. ride it and change things later.
(ps: if you do change the seat and post i'll take em off your hands)
-
baah humbug, to hell with all this new-fangled stuff, these dratted new convoluted inventions...
....now, where did i park my steam engine?
-
;D
its not that i dont like change , i just dont like new things ;D
-
you have to understand, here in grantham its still 1987 and thatcher is still in number ten,
my mum still goes to work on a horse :daumenhoch:
:LolLolLolLol:
seriously though,
best advice i can give is ride it for a while, you'll start to get an idea of what YOU want it to feel like and what to change,
-
yea thats what ill do,i keep waking up and wanting to ride! i wana go rom sometime this week but at the moment my arms are still aching from creation :LolLolLolLol:
-
back when i wer a laD ;D i struggled to keep a bike running
id blow the spare money on sweets , weed and hos ;D
let me guess , it hurts at the base of the bicep ? relax your arm and gently rub the area with your thumb :daumenhoch:
deep heat is a worthwhile purchase and for the best personalisation get some kooky stickers made , a mate had a kitkat sticker on his bike 8) i always wanted a spar sticker for mine :D
-
yer thats the exact place!! when i rub it it feels normal for few seconds then aches again lol, ill jus ride through the pain barrier :daumenhoch:
like the look of these, pickle had the light red one at creation, looks pink but i quite like it

Whip the tire off and bin them - then stick on a set of khe's.Instant weight loss and faster running.
-
the khe premium folding tyres? are the street more durable seeing as they have the thicker sidewall? these would be more appropriate yes?
-
come on admit it.....you just liked mine to much didn't ya! ;)
-
the weight of that bike is pretty good off the shelf id just chage the tyres if owt rest is all good spec
-
I'd say you're wasting your money buying an off the shelf complete only to start buying replacement parts straight away!? Just enjoy it & as you ride it more & more you'll see what doesn't work with/for you & you'll know what changes you need to make as you go along ;)
Nice ride too :daumenhoch:
-
when i rode it on saturday night i thought it was spot on!
-
oops, ive already bought a couple of bits, gonna change 1 or to bits and bobs then that will be me for a while, cheers for the advice everyone! just wanted to make it a touch lighter :LolLolLolLol:
