Title: Some bits old, some bits new. A coke can (borrowed) and a frame that is blue
Post by: Dex Dexter on April 25, 2009, 10:29 PM

In keeping with the rest of the fraternity, here is my freshly built Dialled cruiser.

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/rr38/Dex_Dexter/Bikes/DSCF0004-1.jpg)

I know I'm a little behind the curve on this one but seeing as I acquired it late...

New frame, S&M XLT race forks, XLT race stem, S&M 5.75 bars, grips and seat clamp.

The rest is straight off the old Redline Flight Pro.

The coke can?  Shimming the old seat post as can I bu66ery find a 27.2 pivotal in stock in any shop in the UK!   ;D

23.7 lbs with pretty standard fare - no Ti stuff, no Kevlar tyres, nothing super trick.  Well impressed!

Anyways, not wanting to ever say a bike makes you a better rider (it doesn't); I took it round Crewe today and loved it.  Rode nice and I felt at home straight away.

Also - it has to be said it went together no probs.  Everything works with no drama.

And finally, I also found out my old redline clearly has a shorter back end - given that my chain wouldn't fit on this one  :D :D :D

After initially disliking the standard blue I gave mine the silicon polish treatment and have to say now that I actually really like it.

Bike is looking good mate, looking very good indeed.

Thanks - I'm surprised with how nice it has come up with black parts on it.  Defo looks nicer in the sun shine.  :)

The standard blue is a nice colour when the sun hits it.

But must admit, the candy apple blue one that Superbike Dan has done for Darren Flint is a stunner.

Yep - and Alienation - but can't find any shops with them in.

It's truly amazing how many shops list them on their web site and don't actually have the stock.

Stodgy has it down on his shopping list for me.  :)

Lovely Alistair - Welcome to the family.

And agree Darrens is wicked, comes a close second to mine  :2funny: ;D :shocked:   But then his cranks do look better than mine....
