I broke my old cranks 5 mins from the end of Novice night last month.  But I had a blast, so I figured it was time to invest.......

I'm particularly proud of the stem / gyro plate arrangement.  it took a lot of faffing to fit the plate inside the stem but it makes the gyro sit just right and allows for more adjustment:

Many thanks to Dave (Stodgy) for sorting me out with the frame and bars.  I recommend the Rad Bike shop to anyone.

Nice ride man  :daumenhoch:

I like the noodles mod on the front of the lower gyro cable, does if give much difference?

Cheers

Paul

looks very stealth and the seat needs tilting back a tad
and cool idea with the cables at the front

The noodle mod does make a difference. It takes out the spongyness that you get when a cable is looped and allows it to be routed more neatly.  It is especially good because you can remove the plastic liner, take the noodle apart, and dremmel off an inch.  This allows the (now) excess inch of plastic linerto be inserted in to the adjuster barrel, lining the whole lot.  That takes out a surprising amount of friction.  I've done the same on the front brake too but you can't  see it too well.
