Re: Straight-Up FIRECRACKER! Wicked build :D This site has so many nice bikes.

Re: Don't touch a thing! Just ride that Bad Boy around with a big FAT Grin! :mrgreen: Awesome ride you got there.

Re: What a Knockout! 8) Nice build, straight-up WHIP!

Re: Yea, change that rusted seat clamp bolt. What's a matter you! :shock: My rear Brake clamp has a little cleaner look but still odd IMO?

Re: WOW! Gold'ish Yellow decals on Firecracker Red!? That came out nice :twisted: *edit* On that cable clamp, maybe put some Hockey Tape on the underside of that clamp and trim the overage with razor or something for clean look?

Re: Should look stunning with Decals and that Z2 Fork! Nice!

Re: I think so, scroll down to 1998 Link http://mombatbicycles.com/MOMBAT/BikeHi ... Mavic.html

Re: :facepalm: Yeap, IMO they run a little on the small side even though the front triangle looks stretched out. at a little over 6'1 my 19" is a tad small even with a long quill stem. I'll sell off mine when a find a bigger frame.

Re: Lucky You. My P2 Fork is threaded right to the top of the Impact headset, No extra period! I would keep it long? Never know when you might decide on a different headset. Looking Good!

Re: Looks like an older 80's early 90'ish Dave Scott to me?

Re: Paint sure is Rocked! Those red Z2 forks will look much better on this bike. Put the P2 fork on the Kilauea and call it good.

Re: Stunning for sure, the welds almost look like sanded cannondale style or that's some thick firecracker Red paint. Square chain-stays :shock: Good stuff! Thanks for sharing :D

Re: Those's Vintage Zar decals look awesome on that micro rocket :mrgreen: Maybe if you have some made a little smaller?

Re: Looking Good! If you do decals? Just the right Style/Size and Not to many/Few will be the trick :| Decals can make or break the look IMO.

Re: I actually liked the Cruiser bars, but that "BIG'OL Cracker" seat got to go! :P You might wanna to check that Bottom Bracket, every single 15+ year old MINT Steel bike I ever bought had a ton of rust in that area after removing it, though the rest of the bike was Like-New!

Re: I'll have to post in the other thread when I have some decent Pic's. Here is my color in the Sun, way more Jade Blue-Greenish

Re: WOW! I'd get another fork, looks to be a good size grove :shock: Nothing worse than a Fork snapping off and kissing ground. *edit* Is that groove on the front side of the forks? They gotta flex back too when you hit bumps and whatnot

Re: No build thread :facepalm: Basically it was so minty that I just threw a set of my GT Zaskar wheels on it and a Vintage Turbine Race Face crank set-up in 1x9 with a XTR rear drivetrain, XT-M738 V-brakes and down the road I went in about an hour :twisted: I'd post some pic's but...

Re: Looks SICK! Though any tolerance slop between teeth and the drive-shaft? it'll be a strip fest. You need a guard over the shaft and rear cassette. Road only, wouldn't even try to off-road that, Twig's, Rocks/Pebbles, Mud whatever.
