been slowly collecting the parts for this over the last few years:
started with my old frame -it's a tai big daddy frame with mk1 decals-would love to get a ramp room frame to be more era correct ,but due to budget/money issues will be using this

Post by: gary4130 on April 15, 2018, 11:30 AM: next up wheel build
penegrine rims -these needed some light resto work-bit of polishing/light sanding to get most of the brake rub off -not fully show build work as they will be ridden

Post by: gary4130 on April 17, 2018, 12:26 AM: not quite sure of colour yet -as the metallic grey is now pretty beat up,tempted to go for the yellow but may go for the red one from the same article :-\

Post by: john4130 on April 17, 2018, 06:27 PM: what bars you going for? dont know how easy it would be to pick up a set of contorsion bars. i have the odyssey bayou bars on my flatland bike that look quite similar.
Title: Re: kevin jones big daddy rider rep
Post by: gary4130 on April 18, 2018, 11:04 PM: yeah John went for the same bars -had given up trying to find the contortion ones

pretty much the same style though

Post by: gary4130 on April 18, 2018, 11:38 PM: sun was shiny today so managed to get few bits done.(had the afternoon off ,told the misses I've been cutting the grass :-X :LolLolLolLol:)

used FSA flatland cranks as prefer these ,plus you can use profile hardware (spindle,bearings etc ,which are easier to replace)with profile hollow crank axle
went for a 30t sprocket to get clearance over rear brake -just
always thought 28t was a bit too close for rubbing on brake
teamed it up with a 12t rear coaster sprocket (thanks shane/fugazi-if you ever find any more ,let me know :daumenhoch:
so its the same as 42/16 so will be ok for flat ,not too spinny

Post by: Gra_goose on April 23, 2018, 05:05 PM: Wow looks fantastic, great work!

I really should build my 94 as a rider seeing as the 93’s are pretty much factory spec queens.

Post by: Steviej40 on May 12, 2018, 06:17 PM: Awesome job dude! Love it. What brake did you use to get clearance with such a small chainring?

Post by: Bigfrawg on May 12, 2018, 09:31 PM: Looks like a hombre
Title: Re: kevin jones big daddy rider rep-finished bike pics 21/4/18
Post by: gary4130 on May 12, 2018, 09:36 PM: Yeah it's just a regular dia compe hombre,just made sure the rear end was kept fairly short.
With the 30t chainring not too bad for clearance as long as chain is not too slack- Kevin ran a 28f on his bike though
