:eek: that is awesome....

1) how are the formula brakes?
2) where can i get me some red middleburns?
3) why aren't you out riding the epic on it? :rolleyes:

[shan75]

Formula Brakes are great I have them on all my bikes. You can get them and Middleburn stuff from me.

Epic well at the moment I am recovering from an accident while training a week before the last 12 hr that left e with:

Hip Dislocation and traumatic relocation torn ileo sacral ligament and torn adductor muscles, 4 fractured Ribs, Fractured Radius (at the head in the elbow) Torn Shoulder ligaments, etc etc etc

Still be about 1-2 months before I am backon a bike.

Magic! I need to murder you and assume your identity...

[Eddy]

all i can say is wow, verry red allmost sexy ;)

[RaID]

looks pretty sexy

whats up with the back swept bars?
and the link from the stem to the fork? is it only to stiffen up the front end?

[Bodin]

...harder than an automatic sucking machine on full suck. But it's only cuz I'm extremely jealous. Your bike is the next in line to convince me that my next HT is going to be a 29er.

I'm also unknowledgeable about the fork setup. What specifically does it do?

[ovadahill]

That is an amazing custom build. The chainring, rear cog, frame, fork, bars, scream UNIQUE..

BTW does mtbp distribute the other bits as well?

[shan75]

Yes MTB precision does import most of it some it though is sourced locally, chain, tyres, BB, skewers.

The webtrussing on the fork redirects rearwards flex ynder braking in the bumps more vertically still allowing the sweet give of Ti but eliminating the fore/aft shudder you can get.

:eek: that bike is absolutely gorgeous.
So where are you planning to lose the extra weight?
Too bad about the accident, it must be so hard looking at that bike and not being able to take it for a proper ride.

I really need to get myself some middleburn cranks

[naz]

fuck you must be 10 ft tall.

looks hot. aw wow. fuf to barrie.

[Tristan23]

prime.
loving the rear sprocket..soo unique. actually the whole thing is dope.

enjoi.

[Cruz]

fuck you must be 10 ft tall.

Nah, he just thinks he is.

And bullet proof too, but he has found out that isnt correct.

Front ring should be anodised red too to really set it off.

[konasaurus]

that is a very cool bike man

[No Skid Marks]

Very Trick. Lucky guy,well sorta.Get well soon,don't jump the gun or it'll take longer.

[Cave Dweller]

Will i get lynched if i say i think it looks whack??

Great components (middleburns, I9 wheels, king, hope) but that frame looks plain wrong, whats the deal with all the kinks in the tubes?

[rayza]

[shan75]

Thanks guys for the replys it is always good when people comment both good and bad. I love it for its uniqueness and individuality but appreciate certainly that not everybody will.

[Binaural]

That bike reminds me of the old Merlin retro cruiser bikes way back in the late nineties :)

[kerbdrop]

Don't often stray into these parts, but DAMN

that's a beauty!! all those curved trusses really give it a sense of flow..

THUMBS UP!! :D
