OK, so, the big show is almost roadworthy.. Headset and fork, cranks and bb are all a goer
Tried the rooted Hayes brakes but for some reason they just lock, no unlock. Seat post needs a taste of hacksaw blade so I can drop it lower

Also can I use a shimano shifter to operate a sram derailleur, same amount of gears.
Photos now included, I recon it looks pretty hot, if it moved I would definitely have sex with it, no, wait, it has wheels so I guess it moves.
Please pardon the white sealant running off it :D

All right that looks hot!

- Shimano to SRAM is traditionally a no go. But there is a thread on here somewhere about running a mismatched bastard of a drive train. I never got into it so don't know the details.

- you don't need a shorter post you need a longer post!!!

I recon I will give the SRAM and shimano mix a miss, but that pole is 400mm, the little kink at the bottom of the.seat tube won't let me drop.it the last couple of inches. Maybe a dropper at some stage

Those forks are so big that they almost need their own postcode. Looking great.

Must say I am glad a waited to get monsters, couldn't picture the build.without them. Dud old boxxers or 88s would have been a letdown for me, child's suspension for a real man just does not work.
As for the postcode of the forks, yes its true, also their own area code.
I have the stauncions at 8.5 inches, plenty of clearance

I hear Johnny Holmes was jealous, not of their travel length but all the work these babies got.
I must say all the hottie's are giving me sideway glances already, and the bike hasn't even left the house
Guess it has given me the " swagger"
I guess once the bike is out and public I will be bending allsorts of hotties over the cross bar, main street and all. When you have a sex magnet like this it is your duty to do the deed anywhere, anytime with anyone, the crosses some of us must bear are horrific

Don't make me post a shirtless photo on top if my mighty steed, killer monster dog by my side.
Faark, that sounds like a perfect painting that would be worth a quid or two, or a great photo for peoples fantasies, that's.if your into good looking, well built dogs, muscle bikes, and old men

Full flex, rifle over shoulder, riding your bike flat stick into a river....salmon bursting out in fear of you, bears fleeing the spawn, Eagles as your van guard and a murder of Crows following your path of destruction...and man of war blasting the air everywhere you go.

If only I could Photoshop, but the pack of crows shadowing my every move, I must say, the person that came up with " a murder " of crows seems.like my sort of person

But I just used my goggle skills and found it, seems to be a good deal, is it complete?
Would a e13 dual ring guard work, they are half the price. I can be pretty cheap when it comes down to it

Dual ring guides suck balls, especially if you are running single...they are designed to be ran with a front derailleur for proper function.
