Looks pretty ghetto. Be careful with that stem, my friend had one that weighs like 45kgs and it cracked on the face plate.

[Callan.]

Have you bent those cranks yet?

I've bent two sets.. and im not a hard rider at all.

Looks hot though.

[op_shop]

You lie! you have no chain nor sprocket! =p

[Hazza_stp1]

Cut that steerer tube!

[Kane.]

Get your spaces on.
Looks nice but as the previous poster said cut your steerer tube.

YAY, i get credit :D

got sick of chainless i see so your buying a new frame.

Matt said that you said to him its like 10 kg, and your aiming for 9kg. go for it :D but don't sacrifice to much strength though, because knowing what you do you'll brake anything fragile. :D


And to the people saying "cut down the steerer", he's just sacrificing a bit of looks for a good fiting bike.
I'm 6'4" and i'm going to be running 3cm maybe 4cm of spacers under my stem so the bike feels nice under me, and i know there is going to be people that will be saying "get rid of those ugly spacers".
but i'd rather the bike fit me and look a wee bit ugly rather than running no spacers so it looks FuLLie 5iCk H3Ct1c and having a bike that doesn't fit.

[DirtRida_94]

looks awesome so far
keep building her up mate

the steerer tube is to create the feel of 3'' rise bars

i'll get it as light as possible

:rolleyes: Pretty ghetto, especially with that swimming pool in the background and all...

Bike looks fly. Just cut that steerer, and lower the forks. 50mm travel FTW!

[DirtParkStreet]

I was talking about the bike not his backyard.

yeh but if he was going for a ghetto look correct scenery or landscape is a must lol thats what makes a photograph. But bike looks mad like colourclassic said lower forks and cut steer and you'll have a really bad ass bike on your hands!

Why go the gyro, more to the point why go brakes? Goodbye sub 10kg....

[howie_two4]

Why not go the 09 Capital? 2.09kg for a fully cromo frame, thats pretty light. And they come in some pretty hectik colours...

it has nothing to do with it fitting or what ever it is so that mtbs can do turn downs, that is the main reason steerers should stay un cut!!!!

[Big T]

That looks sick as Ben and by the way I got some nice photo's of you in the "Elsty Sesh" thread in Phat snaps.

You got those Turn downs clicked by about 95%!
