Liquid, white

[jack giant]

Here is my freshly built up hardtail, built using my downhill bike's parts so it looks a bit overbuilt. Its a nice frame made by aireal industrys back in there day. It rides awsome, so much more responsive then a downhill rig and very light too.

When i have some more money i will build it properly but for now its sweet.

that is a nice looking ride....I want a hardtail so bad.
Im not a big fan of DC on HT....but thats just personal preferance.

Ride it hard

yeh i agree completly but they are the only forks i own and as i said its only tempory. ;)

[leitch]

what are you going to build it up for (as i presume thats a temp build?)... those chainstays look quite long

[chuckrockswell]

don't want to sound like the naysayer here.... so i'll go at this with a 'public safety' angle. those old liquid frames would shear off at the headtube whilst running just single crowns..... it was VERY common. so running a dual crown fork on that particular frame is asking for disaster.

its a shame because they look quite nice. just be warned is all.

[tinkerbell]

ummm dude for your own safty i wouldent ride it.
why. i had one of those frame's i was runing 100mm forks and i snaped the frame i never really road the bike just on the street they have a bad reputation of breaking under the head tube.
so take it easy dude.

yeh hes only built it up for a mtb camp with school to gembrook then he will be changing it back. so he will be only riding it for 3 days and they trails there and just walking tracks nothing special.

[dh skunk]

looks sweet with triple's what are you going to use it for
keep it up

[Dyl_stp]

wow nice bike man. looks trick as. what style of riding you going to do on it tho?? does it feel wweird with the triples looks like it would feel a little chopperish lol.
but looks pretty sweet..
well done nice bike.

[juzzo]

good parts u got there, not really suited to the liquid but, 8inch, and triples are over kill and as everyone has said "those frames aren't all there cracked up to be" ;) but none the less they are nice frames to look at

[rickazz]

yeh hes only got his stuff on there for a couple of days for a school camp so he doesnt have to lug around duely

[jack giant]

Yeh i have herd the rumours guys but it really doesn't bother me that much, i only paid $150 for it anyway. the tripples will ony be on it for my school camp and then they are coming off. I will probably build it up for 4x and a bit of dirt jumping. when it breaks I will just buy a new frame:rolleyes: . the chainstays arn't that long, it's quite easy to manual but yes they are longer then your street/dj frames. Probably better suited to 4x.

Your school camp requires dual crowns? Man I wish I was at your school!

Yeah, be careful with that one. I used to own the exact same frame, I ran 5 inch marzocchi singles and it cracked. After a repair, I ran some 3inch forks and the frame was fine.

Overall though, solid build. Just ditch those boxxers for some small singles...

thats why i have mine on my wall, with a crack in it looks good on the wall but.lol

[jack giant]

yeh I will probably chuck some lightish forks on, somthing like manitou blacks or minutes. if it cracks i might get gripsport to put a gusset on the headtube.

Yeh mate, tinkerbell's right. I have one (same colour frame as yours and everything but i repainted it). The previous owner had run 120ish millimetre travel forks and it cracked underneath the headtube junction.
For your own safety's sake, buy some cheap short travel forks until you get the good ones. By cheap i mean a set of old commuter RSTs or something.
You may get laughed at, but it's sure better than having your bike snap in two while at speed.

EDIT: Just read further up the post, RTD was the previous owner. That's the right story :p
