Hey everyone, although i posted my bike not long ago i decided to do it again seen as i just put my new avid bb5 on today.
I got tired of always having problems with my old hydrolic brakes (external leaks, internal leaks, need new pads..) so i decided to go cable.
Im really happy with it, it is sooo much better then before. I also took my front brakes off as i dont need them.
Any suggestions on what i should upgrade next would be great thanks! :)

"Y3h cOz 3v3rY StP0 N33ds Pi/\/\pIN rIMZZZZZ" :rolleyes:
All you need now is a back wheel ay james? Decided on what hub/rim you wont?
yeah that good as i love my bb5's how are they treating you?
just a tip try and keep all stuff to do with one bike in 1 thread and just put updated next to the title...that way you wont get slated by people for having to many threads on one bike;)

i reckon you should get a pimplite with a hope pro II SS rear hub, then some bmx style cranks and then that would look so nice! anyways still looks heaps good, you sound come out for a ride some day?

Nice looking stp..
I think a new seat and seat post would look the goods.
And a new brake cable which is a little longer so you don't have to put it the way you have it...unless you like it like that.
are you running 32:15 by any chance?
