Old School Hero
Thanks for the kind words! It’s crazy that this has cost me a fraction of the price of my other bikes, but has turned out so well. The idea of the challenge was to prove you didn’t need a stack of cash to have a cool bike. Which to be fair is mantra a lot of people on this forum champion anyway.If I could 180 & manual that clean I'd be dead chuffed, the extra couple of inches of seat tube doesn't look like it's holding you back!
Must be nice being and to ride around with the saddle at a decent height too.
Definitely the coolest build I've seen on here for a bit!
Yeah I reckon with the seat completely slammed it would be fine. This is an 18inch frame, which to be fair is smaller than my usual preference of anywhere between 19 and 23. It has a 22inch top tube which is quite nice from a reach perspective, but not so long that it isn’t snappy for spins. I’m 6ft 2’ for reference. I think a 16inch frame would be slightly better for the park, but compromise the longer distance rides.
I’m certain the bike is more capable than what I achieved on the vid. I was being super cautious and it was my first time riding it, so learning the where the balance points are etc. will improve what I can do on it.
On another note, I’ve been tinkering with spares tonight:
Think I’ll look at getting a mount welded onto the back over the next week or so
