Check out this Pimpalicious AM ride I'm building. Lots of attention to detail, and some cool unique mods designed to raise your descent fun factor :thumbsup:

More to follow this week...

Cheers

 

[dhinkey]

more than that...

Lots more unique stuff going on than just a floating rear brake, some you can see now more you con not - but soon...:thumbsup:

Hotness!

Oooooooooooooooh-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! It's a Nomad with a floater and some Chris Bling hubs. Nice build, love the contrast of the white-red.

Hope you don't mind my asking, but whats the floater all about?? I know what they're mainly used for, but on VPP types & FSR's there's really no reason. Are you using it to alter the braking and no I don;t mean brake-stiffening(jack)?

 

[Bombardier]

I'd really love to see more of this ride, only less fuzzy....

 

[GuruAtma]

Nice bike. Now you need to invest in a camera with auto-focus

 

[Just J]

Looks pretty cool, is it a Nomad?

 

[coldsteele]

How big of a rear rotor do you plan on putting on that?

 

[dhinkey]

What... No one noticed the rear solid through axle what gives?

Meh...my Hadley has that already - a 10mm thru-axle.
As others have said - are you going to run a huge rear rotor?

Yep... I tried to get red Hadley's, could not. Although I have had some people tell me the aluminum T/A they have does not hold up to many taking on and offs. I am working on a 64AL ti set up, should be done soon.:thumbsup:

Just a standard 6" rotor. I'm all about the best contact, great modulation quality brakes. For me its more about flow and momentum than brute force braking.

That's cool. Looks like a well thought out set up. Post pictures of the complete bike when it's done - looks like it will be an awesome build!

The Al axle on the Hadley had me wondering too, but so far it has worked flawlessly, and a Ti axle is avaliable also.

Hurry up and get your bike finished, and post a ride report!!

 

[Norbert]

Get on with it.

 

[Guyechka]

Step 1: Finish the build!

Step 2: Take the complete bike outside in the sun.

Step 3: Position yourself eight feet away from the bike.

Step 4: Take a good pic.

Step 5: Post pic here, and stop teasing us!
