Item:
FireEye FireSky jump/street bike
Location:
Northern Beaches, Sydney
Item Condition:
Great - has only been used 5-6 times since I built it. (Slack. I know.)
A few minor scratches from being loaded into the car - nothing out of the ordinary.
NO crash damage, owing to the fact that I've never crashed it.
Reason for selling:
Don't have time to use it anymore.
3 other bikes (and another in the works), working 6-7 days a week, can't make it to Wednesday night city rides anymore due to other commitments. :(
Spec List
Frame/fork:
FireEye FireSky 4130 cromo frame, 13" (see geometry chart below)
horizontal 10mm dropouts, shortest chainstay length possible is 15.8 inches, or around 395mm - manualling is way too easy on this thing.
old style ISCG tabs
27.2mm seatpost, 68mm Euro BB shell
'05 Sherman Flick Plus
external rebound and compression adjustment
Hex-Lock 20mm axle
Firm spring kit
custom set to 100mm travel by Marcus @ Manitou (thanks mate)
Cockpit:
Avid Juicy 5, 160mm rotor, rear only.
Rotor is from an Avid mechanical disc, so won't give that annoying pulse at low speed like the standard wavy rotors do.
Brake line is still full length out of the box - plenty enough for barspins. (Not that I'm any good at them.)
FSA Orbit MX cartridge bearing headset w/ Amoeba Headlock
Dangerboy AK-47 stem
Answer Pro Taper bars, 1" rise, cut down a little to 610mm wide
ODI Intense red lock-on grips
Serfas DJ saddle, 9mm cromoly rails
Salsa Shaft 27.2mm twin bolt seatpost - bloody stiff and decent clamping area
FireEye CNC machined twin bolt seatclamp
Pedals (not pictured) - a new set of Giant flats, black, sealed cartridge bearings, replaceable grubscrews.
(I've decided to keep the blue V8s in the photos - they've served me faithfully for the last 6 years)
Wheelset:
Da Bomb sealed cartridge bearing hubs, laced with straight gauge spokes to Da Bomb rims (with stickers removed).
Front hub is 20mm, rear is 135x12mm, with a 12mm > 10mm bolt-up axle.
Black everything. Disc brake only. Still straight.
Kenda K-Rad 26" x 2.3" tyres - have been ridden about 100m since new
Hutchinson XC tube front, slightly tougher WTB 2.35 tube rear
Drivetrain:
Da Bomb singlespeed conversion kit - gearing is currently 32x18.
KMC Stainless Steel BMX chain w/ Shadow Conspiracy half link
Shimano MC440 (Deore) crankset - grannyring tabs removed for chain device compatibility. (I ran gears on a previous frame/build.)
Shimano EC-71 (XT quality) 68x118 Octalink bottom bracket - will accept a chain device.
RH crank is a bit scratched up - see photos.
Raceface CNC machined alloy bashring - max 32 tooth ring
option:
I have a slightly used 9 speed Deore 11-32 cassette / rear derailleur / RH shifter pod / 9 speed chain, and a DMR Chain Cage, which is basically a fixed front derailleur.
If you want gears, you can have them.
Price and price conditions:
Full bike only for now - NOT currently willing to split.
singlespeed setup: $1300
9 speed Deore setup: $1350 (will still include singlespeed bits)
Will post anywhere in Australia at buyer's expense.
Extra stuff I'll throw in...
16 tooth sprocket
17 tooth sprocket
spare KMC BMX chain links
spare Shadow Conspiracy half links
