Nuke Proof titanium with Manitou 3 Disc

[Jakob]

Nice Bas ....What happened to the cockroaches? Maybe the very last thing to be attached to the frame?

Also this one came without the cockroach but i have 2 new badges.
I will put these on last thing

trying something else and bring the weight down a bit,..

i like it myself

 

[Defiant]

i think this looks rather cool

this is a nos Manitou 3 with Sachs Powerdisk and Sachs New Success front hub,..
That hub is amazing,.it keeps spinning, never seen anything like that

Wow I liked the initial build but then with every bit you changed I thought it looked worse, but this final look is even better than the first! Not sure about the handlebar, looks a bit like it's made out of chainmail, IMO would maybe be better with a Tioga one to match the seatpost.
Also loving the Eames, wanted one ever since dr Frasier Crane had one

thanks mate

the handlebars are a keeper since these are real Nuke Proof bars.
the only thing to do now is to get a matching rear wheel, i have the Sachs New Success hub ready and as a rear brake i wanted to use the Sachs New Success rear canti brakes but i guess i am going to use a Suntour SE brakeset.
Might also replace the cranks by a TNT crank but do not know yet.
When it's finished there are no Shimano parts on the bike, it is just a bit more different then the average bike
