Nice bikes Henry. They have come a long way since they started.

[ipod]

[shake_rattle_and_ roll]

Yum, yum, yum. Hot as!

[Zyphryss]

Those dirt jumpers don't look 40mm?
and the Fox 40's will be great with some decals :)
Love the custom bashy too!

[Leeroy26]

Like your Beema mate!! Although those forks look a tad longer than 40mm travel:confused:

Nice build though!! Weighed it yet?

[StInKy LoVeR]

WOW that bb7 look sick. Hows it ride?

Yeah that is a typo. He means 80mm. Don't you Henry.

[henryg]

circa 18kg. only got bathroom scales. hopefully lighter!

good joke!

Yep guys, supposed to say 80, very observant.

Jesus, think about what youre posting. such a hack...

[chu]

Qouting your own comment and then having a go at yourself. Nice!!!

[henryg]

unsure of the weight of the BMW, i think its around 13-14 kg. have to get some proper scales.

WOW that bb7 look sick. Hows it ride?

Went for the first ride on the bb7 today, real noticable difference in traction in the front end. need a little work on the chain guide but its all coming very much together.

[Jordan!]

Wanna sell that Sinz stem?
Bikes look great!

[321]

Best Balfa i have seen, loving the color scheme looks very factory and that stem just tops it off. ha ha might see you on the trails some time.

[jrewing]

yum yum. That balfa made my beer taste better!

haha thanks mate, still wouldnt be together without it! sorry i was brief the other day, i was in a hurry..

[grundy]

you must be stoked with those two builds, love the BMW looks so stealth:cool:

[Wellsey]

For a frame that looks like the love child of a train track and half a dozen trolley handles, that Balfa is awesome!

[soty]

HENNELBERRY. Your bike is ok. Pretty sure my ex-bmw by itself is nearly half as cool as your BOS40s.

Stop going home in spares.

[tu plang]

Awesome choice of bikes. Two of my favourite bikes ever.

[patto_15]

omg, so jealous right now!

You have really nice taste in bikes my friend:D

the BOS cart kicks ass, soo good over big compressions.

I hadn't planned it that way, but you're right, there is definitely a smidge of Clarkson genius in that.

[huge]

Haha thankyou. I wish I still had my balfa... and I wish I was less retarded on my bmw.

[No Skid Marks]

Very nice BB7. Once you're comfy on it, shoot me a PM, I was thinking of making some new silver plates for around the pivot, to drop the BB, shorten the rear a wee bit, and slacken the front a tad. Possibly even squeeze a bigger shock in, but I think I ruled that out.
Tu Plang, my BB7 frame may be for sale in a few weeks if I like the new ride I'm about to build up. It'll be with much resistance though, I love the BB7, so much fun.

in this weather DJing will be more like dam jumping.

hey did you see my post in your thread? about the floating mount.. would you have any idea where to get one?

I think you'll find they're nearly impossible to get. A mate's tried the Aussie Balfa guy(BB7 Rider)with no luck. The squat is sorta cool anyways.
