And today I did......

[Bullpup]

I have recently bought a Chameleon frame for my wife and a Saracen x-tort frame for my son who wants a jump bike both on the basis that they will be spare parts builds - if only. It seems that bottom brackets seize 5 minutes after removal especially ISIS versions. I hadn't noticed that the Truvativ cranks my son wanted are Power Splines and my spare headsets didn't include enough parts to make 2 good ones...

First ride out on the Saffron, pretty much a year after I first spoke to Matthew about the build. Very happy with it. Understated looks with great handling.

Where the hell do you guys find these skips? All I ever see is old sofas and manky mattresses!

 

[gmac123]

So my Swift half-fat has a nutted axle DMR hub on the fat front wheel. It's a pain in the arse...

Now thanks to eagle eyed Velo, I picked up a nice DMR single-speed rear hub with the all important Quick Release axle. A bit of rubber mallet action tonight, and the Swift now has a QR axle on the front instead. Goodbye spanner, me and my Camelbak will not miss you!
