Just thought I'd post up my ride here... already put up a few pics in the "Show off..." thread, but it seems the urban/dj/park forum could use some more activity.
Well, It's no custom mini-boutique bike, I didn't weld it myself, and no pink or chrome bling, or the hottest mtb parts to hit the market (although I did manage to basically color coordinate while still using parts I had on hand or selecting ones I wanted....)
Anyway, I've been riding it for just over a month now, working out the kinks, adjusting, modifying, etc., and so far, it's coming out better than I expected. I wheeled off, and ground down the cable stops, since I don't use a rear derailleur, and I'm debating doing the same to the V-brake mounts, and grinding off the ends of the dropouts, just to lose some weight and make it look a bit smoother. I took off the gyro stops, since I don't use one and went with a longer brake cable.
chainstays are locked down at 15.5", tt is 22" c2c, bb height is 11.3", wb is 39.625", bar height is 37.75".
