[MUGEN]

Looks the goods! Are they Holy Rollers? They look awfully similar to K-Rads!
How much did the 5's cost you?

[Tomgos]

nice bike i love it, but im scared of the dolls in the upper left corner

[-DAvo]

yep those are holy rollers! been running them for ages now and im still loving them! will be getting a new set pretty soon as these are starting to wear pretty thin.

dolls? what dolls?? can u see dolls???? haha jk their my sisters.. freaky as but she'd kill me if i threw them out.. and since the room i keep my bike in is kinda like the "spare room" all the misc junk gets piled into it. oh well.. its the only way i can keep the bike indoors :P

thanks for the comments

[MUGEN]

haha, yeh those dolls are freaky escpecially how they are behind some window thing making them fade a bit.....

[Wattsy]

nice ride,

but mines gonna be better :D
something a little different, still an STP though.
2 weeks and counting.

did i say nice ride?


oh, and how do the rebas go on a stp?

[-DAvo]

yea the rebas are sweet! heaps of adjustments to tinker with and being an air fork, their still plush as, and the light weight dosent hurt as well!

and being a qr forks their still pretty stiff

make sure u postur stp when it comes around yea?

cheers

[S_A_M_U_E_L]

very nice.... looks nothing like a stp

[villy]

Hey man, how much were the rebas? if you dont mind me asking.
Thanks

[-DAvo]

update!

new chainguide and extra set of tires for offroad!

cant wait to get out and ride it tomorrow!! woot!

[LTR]

Argh... those pedals are disgraceful. Take that RS sticker off, thats not a good place to put it.
Awesome ride, youve taken almost all the crap off it to make it a very decent ride.

hey dont diss my slutty red pedals! ;) nah i like em, even thou they take much pleasure in ripping my shins up! but i plan on getting some v12's next, either the same colour or the silver.

cheers for the comment :D

[LTR]

Its the colour thats disgraceful, not the pedal. Get grey or black next time! :cool:

[-DAvo]

yea i always thought it looks alright, but yea ill probably get silver, then i wont have to worry about the paint coming off :P

thanks for the input ;)

[Rexy]

Its becoming a slut! Stop making it hotter right now!
(or else you could just give me a go on the girl on the next ride :))

[HaZ!]

[Mugger]

Looks the goods, i personally don't like that seat but we all have differen tastes.

So whats next?

[jimmmy]

Hey davo, is the ns-1 clamped into the bottom bracket cup. which BB do you have aswell? :confused:

[-DAvo]

Hey davo, is the ns-1 clamped into the bottom bracket cup. which BB do you have aswell? :confused:

yea the ns-1 fits the standard bb mount, they make for both types so you'll be right. as for bottom bracket, ive got some truvativ gigapipe pos haha will be changing that when it eats shit (soon)

[jimmmy]

:) :) :) Ha Ha Ha, that's funny. Does the C4 bashie cost extra. p.s. It looks knarley on your vessel. :) :) :)

[da_dugong]

nice ride mate. just one question but- why tha rebas?

[-DAvo]

why not?

their stiff as with the 32mm legs
their strong
they have tonnes of adjustability
they feel awsome!
and they have just the right amount of travel for a street/4x bike
oh and lets not forget the feather weight 1.6kg woot

[-DAvo]

its alive.... Its ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!

[Ozza]

Sick setup! It would be interesting to know how much your rig weighs?

[-DAvo]

well with the stock wheels (rhynolite xl) it weighed 13kg.. havent had the chance to weigh it with the mtx's

[MTBWANNABE]

Lookin' good Dave

Now i wanna ride it :P

[German_mtb_freak]

nice bike......... pedels need to go though. otherwise it looked sweeet.

[jimmmy]

shit, It's turned out great hey.
You've removed the rockshox and juicy stickers, It looks a lot more stealth now, the wheels don't but they look good anyway, congrats on the finished product mate, It all came together in the end

P.s. Eastern vice stems are the bomb! :)

[5PIDEY]

haha cheers mate! hopefully next time i wont have to dash off to work!! well now that my bike is done, ill work till i recover some of the cost, then cut down to one day a week! hehe more time for riding!

[mountain_man(1)]

Thats a real noce stp, i actually like it very much. Any plans for a new derailer or gears set? Looks great. Nick

[-DAvo]

yea was thinking of that, either going sram x9, or possibly single speed... but thats unlikely as i still commute on this bike as well :P so yea x9 and wipperman chain sometime soon.. :D

[bolzy]

looks good

[LTR]

Looking better again... pretty hot... but the pedals! Hehe... they're keepable i SUPPOSE. :D

youve slagged off on my pedals for the last time!!! :D jk mate, yea well their not on my priority for change at the moment as their still ripping my shins up good... but dont worry ill be getting silver v12's once these retire :)

[dmwill]

haha cheers mate! hopefully next time i wont have to dash off to work!! well now that my bike is done, ill work till i recover some of the cost, then cut down to one day a week! hehe more time for riding!

Yeah, well today's ride was kinda boring...too many people..too many ideas...we spent more time sitting down deciding where to go/what to do, eventually we all split up and did our own thing. Another problem is that you cant do anything at a skatepark on a bloody XC bike! (The orange/silver Giant)...I'm looking foward to an AC later this year!

[Rexy]

Gawd, it looks even better in the flesh!
MTXs look so damn hot :)
I reckon my chainguide could give yours a run for its money though (and watch youre back e13), X13 you have the best damn garden hose!
*red dmrv8 shinripper pride*

[ridemotocross]

the finished product is major nice, love the whole bike, id get some insurance for that bike asap, some loser will see it and knock it off, and u will lose a piece of your heart. that is soo sweet

[-DAvo]
