Yay, just got wellgos and an alivio shifter.

As a side note, I also just got a paper round so now I can save faster :)

Next upgrade e-13, then I'm going to build up a cheap trash around dj bike.

wow where did you get those parts??? that looks good for what you spent on it.
Brakes were $85, wellgos were $15, frame was $250, and the old bike that I got the other bits and pieces off was $400, so now its actually cost me more like $750...

Try ziptieing the rear brake hose underneath the seatstay, you'll kink it less often. Actually... running the hose down the downtube then along the chainstay would be an ever bigger step forward. Seems lots of Kona style 4 bar bikes suffer from regularly kinked hoses with that routing.

I had a funny conversation with a kid at waurn ponds DJs today;

Him: Don't you know Kona's snap?

Me: Dont you know dickheads dont get very far in life?

Him: Shutup

Me: No

Him: Fuck off

Me: No

Him: Oh, ok.

He then scootered off to hang with his Sam Hill handlebar scooter kid friends. WTF?

hey if your 12 how do you afford this... just out of curiosity:confused:
Bashing grannys, stealing their wallets, hijacking cars, prostitut....

Nar, I've just spent every cent I have had for the past 2 years. My grandpa helped out heaps by paying me $250 to do a week of work at his place over the holidays. Also things like birthday money, and selling stuff for more than its worth to unsuspecting preps (in primary school at least) e.g 2 broken spokes (swords) $2 :p

Well, I am getting an e-13 asap. I have also scabbed a 7sp cassete off an old bike I had lying around (yay, no more 8sp cassete with 7sp shifter).

Oh yeah, I will be buying new forks probs mid september (b'day moneez :p)

Yuck no.
Do NOT get these forks.
Way to expensive for what they are.

+ They only have 170mm travel, where as you get get single crowns with 170 - 190mm travel.

I was just thinking the same thing.

I probs shouldv'e mentioned that I am going to to get 150-160mm Z1s.
