Title: Azusa - The Build so Far **UPDATE**
Post by: Zippy on November 02, 2009, 03:44 PM: I had one of these before and loved it. I only sold it as my holy grail came up for sale and I needed some fast bucks. The chance to buy that one back came up a couple of times and always at the wrong time.

Then Lazychubs offered his up for sale at the begining of the year and again I was skint. Well we kept in touch and eventually thrashed out a deal that suited us both.

This is the build so far. What do you think?

Post by: rooski on November 02, 2009, 05:25 PM: im likin this build,but whats the deal with the JMCness of it ???
Title: Re: Azusa - The Build so Far
Post by: Zippy on November 02, 2009, 06:50 PM: Azusa's are a JMC tribute frame and forks made in very limited numbers.

I've got a set of Araya Super 7x's on the way for it as well and will see which ones look better before deciding which ones to use. Luckily they both have DX hubs which is nice.
Title: Re: Azusa - The Build so Far
Post by: baldbmxer on November 02, 2009, 08:27 PM: Thank god for that! :)

Super 7X's will be soooooooo much better

Those Odyessy T1000 or Flame or whatever rims are like 1 3/8's :LolLolLolLol: and I hate them, always have! .......Just ask Dingo! ::)

Sorry

Not sorry really! >:D
Title: Re: Azusa - The Build so Far
Post by: Gary72 on November 02, 2009, 08:41 PM: Nice Si, Needs more blue to balance out the rims. Blue hubs or drop the sprocket for a spider and blue chain ring. Nice to see the rims built instead of in my cupboard :LolLolLolLol:

I think I prefer the chrome Arayas to be honest and the blue kashi won't be staying, I've got a black MX to go on it instead.
Title: Re: Azusa - The Build so Far **UPDATE**
Post by: baldbmxer on November 05, 2009, 01:45 PM: Sooooo much better with the chrome rims ;) if its gonna be a daily rider you had best put a padded seat on it.......

and send to black MX to me! ???
Title: Re: Azusa - The Build so Far **UPDATE**
Post by: hooga1975 on November 05, 2009, 01:55 PM: I really like that Si, it is almost as nice as my cruiser :LolLolLolLol:

Just one thing mate, you are going to need to drop that seat a good few inches if you intend to ride it. :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: Azusa - The Build so Far **UPDATE**
Post by: MartyC on November 05, 2009, 03:51 PM: Chrome 7x's and Black Kashimax for sure :daumenhoch:

You're right about the pedals. I'll get some Crupi Pros at some point when I find a set at the right price. :LolLolLolLol:

Blue Kashi went ages ago Paul. :(

No :LolLolLolLol:

It looks like I'll be working every Sunday for most of next year so racing looks like it will be totally out.
