Avanti D8

[hairy]

just some specs

Bars: azonic double wall
Stem: azonic O.R.C
Cranks: DMR
Wheels: smo's laced to a formula on the front and a XT on the back.
forks: 03 monster 2's
brakes: soon to be Hayes mags.


BTW don't pay attention to the mechs;) just waiting for my mags

[Kammy]

looks smick ;)

[928stu]

Very sexy - very!! (ignoring the mechs ;) )

With those choice forks, I'd be tempted to go a 'widget #2' to lift the BB up again.

[lotec]

What's with the 5th element stickers if you dont have a 5th? :confused: I also think that someone should politely let you know it's spelt "Hayes".
Edit: That's not a shorty stem either.

[Hex515]

Very nice. Looks awesome.

[CHEWY]

With those choice forks, I'd be tempted to go a 'widget #2' to lift the BB up again.

I would have thought those forks would raise the BB up in the first place.

he means lift it up to steepen the head angle

[928stu]

Thanks lotec

I'd be guessing you have a head angle of 63~64deg(keen eye hey?)
widget #2 lifts the BB, steepening the head angle back to about 65deg - this will you notuce - big time!!
Just ignore me if like slack head angle. ;)

[hairy]

i don't mind the head angle but i was thinking about the widget two in the near future. those sticers are yours lotec thats why i have them buddy;) , and im sorry it is a azonic ORC back in the day when i got it, it was the shorty of the azonic stems.... lol i got it in 98

[Davf]

Nice looking ride there, although those rims are looking kind of average. You'll be set when the mag30's and hydro's go on it. Have fun on it! ;)

[One Kill]

Lookin' tidy mate! Whats say we hit up for some runs some time? Ill organise some mates to head up your way and we'll sick up shuttles?

[hairy]

up grades as of this weekend will be my mags and a new stem, some lock on's. any suggestions on a new stem for it? and im thinking i might order some mag 30s:)

[lotec]

Bilt stem, atomlab aircorp, easton if you wanna spend that mmuch, azonic short deelux if you dont take it off often, or go a Amoeba scud front end, for $175 you get oversize stem, bars and a headlock, good value for money there :D also have grips in there too, or for 109.95 you get the amoeba borla, which is standard size bar and stem with a headlock and grips in there too

[hairy]

looks like the shorty dee-lux will be the go with some new double walls.

[fred the emu]

are those forks real heavey
cause they are the BEEFNESS!!

nice bike man

[donthucktoflat]

damn huckwit racerboy. you come from a messed up gene pool.. Monsters on a race frame? aah well, looks OK i guess..

[big_pete]

Thats phat man love the set up there!
Must weight a fair bit aye?

[hairy]

ha yeah its a do anything bike lol. :p um i weighed it the other day and it was just under 28kg:o

[Davf]

Damn mate, that's one heavy ass bike, you'll be built like a tank in no time.;)

[cr125honda]

verry verry nice

[Rik]

Monsters on a race frame? aah well, looks OK i guess..It's what was on them when Avanti displayed the bike back in 98 or whatever, complete with carbon fibre moto-style seat/mudguard. Looks good for sure, but damn it must be heavy.

[j5ive]

I dont think the d8 frame is actually that heavy, got some scales Rik? Sure its not that bad. As for this bike- I think you need a longer widget ;)

[Rik]

Just weighed mine... 5kg without a shock.
Combine that with SMO rims f+r (almost a kilo each!), cromo cranks and a monster, surely it has to be in the 23-25kg range :eek:

[j5ive]

Gee, thought they were lighter. Mine feels reasonable built up- no smo or monsters though :P

[Constable Care]

That bike must be sooooo heavy, dual SMO's and Monsters can u lift it by yourself?

[THRILLHOUSE]

That photo is pretty old we took them at my house ages ago.

The bike now has a rear mag30 soon to be followed by a front mag 30. And he now runs Brand new hays hfx9's (i think). Also runs a "Shimano RX 100" deraliuure i had lying around in my garage. Oh and a new Azonic stem

Whatever he runs its damn sexy i know that.

But yeah it is heavy, can just lift it

Pardon, you forgot the gold bars thrillhouse, compliments of me, :D . wait until your mag 30 for the front comes and post it up again. suprisingly he can manual the beast, its crazy to lift.

[THRILLHOUSE]

sorry I also forgot to say the cranks are now completley polished chrome, pedals are black, there are no fork bumbers, there is a nice sticker on the top tube, And he has a new rear tire and grips

[lokal phil]

don't you worry, im sure theres something extra i can think of. just give me a little time. :D

[Deniss]
