[hardtail free rider]

whats the specs?

[tu plang]

dhr208, ur a brisbane guy arent you?
nice bike mate :wink:

how about some specs though?

[Lukedog]

yep im in brissy

The specs are .243 frame (obviously), 243 bars, 243 seat and post, dk bmx stem with cable mounted internally (so i can potentially do bar spins), atomlab rims with armour cable disc brakes, for the riders custom chain guide, dk cromo bmx cranks and bb, wellgo flat pedals, mars DJ 2 forks, that pretty much covers it.
Ive had it a few weeks now and its a dam nice ride!

[DJ_Robbie]

scha-weeet, that for the riders custom guide, is it like a mrp guide (it looks it) bottom bracket mount or ISCG, how much did it cost ya and how can i get one, i spose they are cheaper than an mrp and if they work just as well i want in!

[Superman]

how much did it cost all up?

looks hella nice

[Butch]

i like the stem , very nice same one im runnin

[Cheazy]

Very nice job!!! did u get it all at once or hav u been building it up?

[mitch01]

nice little bike ya got there mate :roll:

[Lukedog]

I pretty much got michael at for the riders to get in all the parts i wanted and build it up for me, as for the guide he can make them to order, i think he charges around 150 ish for them and they are so good, even better than an mrp imo. As for the cost i think its worth about $2700 but i think i paid around 2ish all up.

For the riders have aother frame in stock at the moment and can ship them anywhere. check em out if you want one they are pretty darn good value to.

[big_pete]

That is one nice looking 243 8)

[stinky|dan]

noice ride!

How do you like the bars? I need new ones for my .243 and thought i might try something new like those ones. Get rid of the kujos though! i hate those things.

Dan

[MUGEN]

for some reason the frame looks really small? still nice tho!

[Lukedog]

yeah i hate kujos to but these are seracs the xc version, i wasnt keen but tomac boy put em on cause they are light and roll fast for street and dirt, but i dont really like em. i might put some lasens on soon.

I like the bars now they are like an 80mm rise wich is huge so i had to run my stem upside down but im used to them now and they are strong as.

The frame is a medium and im 5 11 and it seem like a god size for me..

[stinky|dan]

thanks for the info on the bars. I took mine out for a 12 km xc ride yesterday and i fricken hated it. The dual ply highrollers are so heavy that xc rides suck. Plus i think the 24 inch rear aint that great for xc either. I found myself getting stuck or stopped by little obstacles that a 26'er would probably roll over easier. Or maybe it was cuz i was frickin tired. i'm tempted to blame the bike though.

get some black rollers for the MRP copy device and Black sidewalled tyres and it would be even more bling.

[dylma]

mmm,droool, that is a pimpin bike you have yourself there dhr208, thats if thats is your name :wink:

[norco_nono]

damm them cranks look long, how long are they, or is it just me?

[mtbmx]

shoulda got 24 inch atomlabs with nokian gazza 3.0s then that would be soooooooo PIMP

[S.]

shoulda got 24 inch atomlabs with nokian gazza 3.0s then that would be soooooooo PIMP

Yeah, rediculous weight and an inability to roll at more than 15km/h is awesome. That would be "soooooo PIMP". :roll:

Agreed, i have a 24 inch atomlab on the rear with 2.5 dh ply highrollers and they suck for trail riding. I'd hate to think what a 3.0 gazzi would be like.

[steve dave]

nice choice, is it heavy?

[Lukedog]

Cranks are pretty standard lenght i think about 170mm

No the bike isnt that heavy , well it probly is compared to others but it doesnt seem heavy when you ride it so that the main thing.
