Re: The kids are nearly 10. They can ride though! And they've been before so not even newbies. Should be good fun and hopefully not embarrassing. Also get comments on the colour (candy red)... Just because I didn't go for matt bloody black when I got it painted.

Re: Hi, I've got 2 visits lined up. One with a colleague and his mates and a second with my brother-in-law and his kids. All of them will be riding modern stuff but I'll be taking my uber'd Cannondale Super V on both visits. I've never been before but I reckon both your bike and mine will be...

Re: Hi, Made some progress at the weekend - would've got it finished but got commandeered by my wife for other jobs. Everything went on well apart from the seat tube needing a good clean out of 'media' from the stripping but got there in the end. Need to get cables and rear wheel dishing...

Re: Frames arrived! Looks like a good match to the bike I found on the internet though the light in the reception at work doesn't do it justice. Hopefully sunny over the weekend for better photos and build.

Re: Update: Frame is done and will be posted tomorrow. Looking forward to this...... Will get some 'sunny' sparkly photos when it arrives.

Re: D'oh, its in the title. My bad.

Re: I think you missed the price out.

Re: Cool, just thought I'd be polite and ask. Will pm you.

Re: Hi, is the ritchey seatpost still available? Thanks

Re: Hi, as ever I got a bit busy at work, in the process of buying a house and holidays got in the way but I'll be sending the frame away next week for painting. Basically been a bit busy.

The frame is in good shape. There is a slight ding in the top tube but nothing serious - tiny really. The threads are all good - always a good thing. I've gone over the frame for cracks and I can't see anything - I only paid £17.50 for the frame from Ebay - was advertised as a Trailstar but I...

Re: Hi, thanks for all the compliments. Its great to get some feedback. I've looked up Reanimation's build thread and yours looks great, kinda the look I'm going for. I was reading the recent azonic ds1 build too a little while ago and that turned out nice (I like the whole retromod thing)...

The bombers are 100mm travel so I don't think they'll be too long. The 'mock up' photo doesn't have the headset or any spacers fitted either - I'm sure the head angle will be fine. I checked the DMR website for stats etc and the sidekick is designed around a 90 - 100mm travel fork. I'm not...

Hi, Thanks, Yeah, I'm keeping the Bombers. Mark who'll paint the frame is a bit of a Raleigh Burner fanatic and I sent him photos for suggestions and he suggested trying to colour match the frame to the stickers on the bombers. Then I found the attached photo of a DMR whilst having a search...

Re: Hi, Will check them out. Will be sending it away next week for painting so hopefully will have some build photos soon. Though I will have to get the rear wheel re-dished but that is fairly straightforward.

Re: Hi, bit of an update. Think I've decided on a colour - Trailer Truck Teal by Prismatic Powders. I'm sending the frame to my mate Mark who owns Impreziv Finishing in Darlington who did my Cannondale - he did a great job on that so I'm expecting great things again. I've also managed to...

Re: Yeah, I'd been thinking something similar but I have googled similar blue on blue combinations and they look alright. A friend has suggested gloss black but I think this may be a little boring. Open to suggestions - Will have a look about myself too.

Re: Hi, Your Rhythm looks great, hope mine turns out as well. I have thought about the single speed thing but I quite like the gears and I'd already bought the rear mech. Should be good either way and it might be something I do later. Will get it built first then go from there. I also...

Re: Hi, err.... Not sure, but lets say I have plenty of room. Will give it measure cos I'm not even sure myself. Guess it'll be 14" frame.

Hi, This is my second build after building my Cannondale Super V (Uber'd) about this time last year (its in this forum but didn't get much interest as I pretty much put up before and after photos). After a fun year bombing round on that I fancied a new project and I want to learn to jump better...
