Glen - I'm 5' 11' so I was told its about right for someone swapping from mid school 19" frame shortness.

Obviously everyone has their own opinions about what makes a good frame and not knowing anything about NS geometry I asked 'some people' and they thought this was pretty good all round for me  :daumenhoch:

Its not a WTP  8)

I don't think you'd notice the difference Ed, its gonna feel odd to start with anyway.

My Alone is 21", and my fatty Pork is 20.5, the geometry is different too, but now on the Pork  i've got a 55mm stem, a swept back seat post and slammed the back wheel up, you can't really feel much difference, apart from about 6 stone!!!

Come on then, must be good if you are shipping from the US

Title: Re: Time for a new school frame :-)
Post by: pickle on March 26, 2012, 01:53 PM
Looks Fooking ace!!  like the decals as well  :daumenhoch:

headset is any internal one and the bb looks like mid size.. :daumenhoch:.....so normal US size bearings but no cups needed as they just press into the frame
Title: Re: Time for a new school frame :-)
Post by: Dannywhac on March 26, 2012, 01:57 PM
Bloody lovely  :4_17_5:

As Rob said - mid bottom bracket and an integrated headset:

Like these:

H/S:

http://www.radbmxshop.co.uk/shop/article_349/Odyssey-Integrated-Headset.html'shop_param=cid%3D22%26aid%3D349%26

BB:

http://www.radbmxshop.co.uk/shop/article_154.001/United-Value-Mid-BB.html'shop_param=cid%3D23%26aid%3D154.001%26

Don't forget for the BB you'll need to know what size crank axles (19mm or 22mm). Bearing straight into the BB, no ally adaptors like what the US BB's are. Integrated H/S - the bearings again pop straight into the frame, cap on top and job done  :daumenhoch:

And you can get cheaper H/S's than Oddy one's - I use a Vocal one :)
Title: Re: Time for a new school frame :-)
Post by: griff on March 26, 2012, 02:03 PM

Can't beat the vocal stuff ed.........cheap but works really well  :daumenhoch:

hehe - yes, we all know everything there is to know about 30 year old shite but ask one of us to put a modern brake on a modern bike and our brains start to bleed..

Still loving that frame..

Post by: pickle on March 27, 2012, 10:44 AM
Always like the feel of the oddy evo II's but any U brake will work ed.  proper and fly brakes are your top end and pricey brakes but the humble hombre is about £20 and they work well.

Depends if you want a choice of blingy colours or not?

You setting it up will be funny though  ;D
Title: Re: Time for a new frame ... Supercross Extension :-)
Post by: oldschoolace on March 27, 2012, 10:59 AM
Nice frame! I'm sure Oddy do a limited edition evo II in a green very close to that if you wanted the brake to match  :daumenhoch:

Edit:

Yep

Post by: pickle on March 27, 2012, 02:45 PM
has it not come with one?  ???


you need to have one so i would double check the box, is there no hole in the frame for a screw in one?

If no hole then i don't know what you can use?  i'd be on the blower!

You've got two mounts by the looks - the one nearest the headtube is for a cable guide, and the one nearest the seatstays is your cable stop (gasp in awe at my Photoshop ski-bills):

(http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff443/dannywhack/Edwardo.jpg)

What you want are two of these:

(http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff443/dannywhack/Edwardo002.jpg)

They have a nipple and a countersunk bit - nipple normally goes in the hole towards the front, and then you screw in the countersunk screw in the other. The rear of the two you want a cable adjuster for as well (see above piccy).

Over-all the brake setup should look like this:

(http://i1236.photobucket.com/albums/ff443/dannywhack/Edwardo001.jpg)

And if ya running a gyro, the holes on the headtube are for your gyro tabs (replaces the lower tabs of the regular gyro - the one's you pop in under the upper headset cup).

Wahey!  :daumenhoch:

Ed, if that new bike of yours rides as good as it looks i'll be introducing you to a bit of date-drugging and have it off you (the bike not your ass of course..... I'll leave that to you and Rob on the mattress of love!)

Nice bike mate btw - i'll bring the DK stem down to the BR on the 7th if I can escape or i'll post it f I can't ;-)

my ad999 works really well - only have 2 very minor gripes

- it's rear only and therefore slightly angled, but I think better suited to chainstay lugs (cable not perfectly aligned to angle of caliper if you know what I mean) not sure what the angle would need to be for your frame Ed so might not be an issue

- the green ano bits are very nice, but don't quite match the green ano on the hombre I have for the front  ::)


btw nice bike Pickle, what is it?
do you have any more pics?

You'll miss the front brake Ed if you don't have it  :)

If it's a lack of lugged forks Ed, I've got a set of 1 1/8" 14mm lugged Redline forks you can have for the cost of postage? They're mid 2000's though so might be a bit weighty for your NS.

Dan at the minute anything that fits is going on there... but it is getting built  :)

At the mo I've got some 2000 Haro forks on there from my Sport ( so I can run a front brake too ) but I've got an offer of a nice new pair from El'Stodgo a la RADSHOP

Thanks for the offer though bud  :daumenhoch:

Had some profiles on my Sport cheers Dan so I'm using them - BB & headset arrived today so I got the BB in at lunchtime.

Just working on the forks now... first thing to change will be the chainwheel as my 42t Sugino looks a little wrong  :coolsmiley:... but I need a new rear wheel for that to run the little cog on a freecoaster... mmm can't wait for a freecoaster  :smitten: ... then forks  :)

That's going to be real nice when You've got it all sorted Ed  :daumenhoch: The KHE Astern/Federal V2 freecoaster is probably the best of a bad bunch out there at the moment, just stock up on driver bearings as they can mess up pretty quick.

same as I had em on the Sport Rob - Lenny made me move them back some time ago under threat of having my tin foil privileges removed

Just held them up side by side and the wheelbase is the same but if anything the BB on the Sport is higher than the Supercross... I couldn't work out why Peter was going on about the high BB... well used to that  :)
Title: Re: Time for a new frame ... Supercross Extension :-)
Post by: pickle on March 29, 2012, 08:20 AM
That's fine then, she should feel a little better then than the sport.  The thing with the BB being high means you feel like you're being forced forward over the bars a little bit.  WTP frames often come up like this.  look at mine (the fly and the Goose) and you'll notice the chain stays are pretty much horizontal to the ground, where yours go upwards towards the BB.

 :daumenhoch:

But at the end of the day, if it feels right for you then all's rosey!  :daumenhoch:
