Post by: JT71 on May 06, 2009, 09:36 AM: I agree it looks wrong (horrible?) but don't think there's actually owt wrong with it.

angles look funny though, guess that's just how they were.

Post by: pickle on May 06, 2009, 09:53 AM: it just looks like the wheels and forks are the wrong size to me? looks like it's a junior frame with normal cruiser wheels and forks?

i could be wrong though??

Post by: Jt on May 06, 2009, 10:39 AM: think the wheels look massive due to them being 1 3/8s?

same happens with 20" 1 3/8s..they are actaully bigger thatn the equivilant 1.75 rims" due to the tyre size being smaller...they need to be this way to give the same rolling radius..

i think...

might be talking shit though...

heaven forbid :D

Post by: MartyC on May 06, 2009, 03:05 PM: Sorry guys but there's nothing "wrong" with that build; classic junior race cruiser set-up and a good one at that :yahoo_silent:. Everything is period correct from what I can see...

Post by: pickle on May 06, 2009, 03:16 PM: MCS made some nice frame sets but that still looks wrong Marty.

looks like an old MTB with new suspension forks fitted.......just makes the front end look all wrong.

Post by: lodge on May 06, 2009, 03:19 PM: The slack headtube angle is what makes it look strange to me.

Nah, it's the angle of the dangle and all that; slack head tube for junior riders to slow the steering. OSSQueen will confrirm as I'm pretty sure she race this class bitd :daumenhoch:. Nowt wrong with it even if you think it looks minging it's how it's supposed to look; a bit like Kate Nash - not everyone's taste :LolLolLolLol:.

Could be where you're going wrong Rob, try the front doors as they maybe easier to open ;D
