DJ JTR-SS Build MkII (homemade awesome'nss)

[Guiver]

Built more as a show off piece than something im going to ride.
Needs a few mods to the frame to make it bomb proof.

Updates from last time;
Pimp'n paint jop. (i say pimp'n... i sprayed it green then did a white splatter over the top (get your mind out of the gutter))
Front triangle is bomber has not moved at all.
I bent the rear end when i took it for a Shuttle run last year but we bent it back and Jeremy zip welded some small c section gussets along the inside of the chain stays *fixed*.
Might beef up the rest of the rear just sometime just in case.

Weight: 13.5kgs

the shock has had a hard life and on its 3rd owner without a rebuild so it feels a little sad.

That's very sexual.
How does it ride?

Pics of the BB ?

It's built so that the swingarm is clamping onto the BB spindle. So you press bearings into the frame and then there are separate bearings in the pivot, then the cranks bolt on.

Very sweet design. Looks great mate.

Thats a sick as bike. If you dont mind me asking what gearing ratio are you running?

 

[jacob123]

is there much geo difference between your first and second one? the first one seems to be alot lower than the other but maybe its just the photos.
great work mate

Same frame, this one is lower in the front end due to the Peba's (rebas with pike lowers) and yeah i reckon its just the photos

not me.. you can sacrifice your goats to JeremyW for that one.
And yes the welding is A++.

Tubeset uses aero-grade 4130 imported from the US.
Rear end is the same but rec' section in 0.9 (really needs to be 1.1 for the extra stiffness)

Tom, that paintjob looks like the rocks on Mt Wellington Looking the goods.
