imabikerz (Nov 27, 2009 at 14:40)

very nice but only thing, put some real pedals on it, not PC's.. man that bike is intended for dirt,FR etc.. so put on some MAgnesium pedals, they weight the same or even lighter than PC's and they grip 3 000 000x better

(but they cost over 100$)

11

recklessness (Nov 27, 2009 at 14:49)

No. Metal pedals eat my shins and PC's grip just fine.

tac1593 (Nov 27, 2009 at 14:55)

whats your fork at? travel wise:P

11

recklessness (Nov 27, 2009 at 15:07)

90mm-ish.

10

Hombre3000 (Nov 27, 2009 at 9:31)

And he's done it again. Totally awesome build, I even like the white on the cranks/fork and nowhere else. Definitely one of the nicest bikes to pop up on this site in a while.

11

recklessness (Nov 27, 2009 at 9:38)

Thanks bro.

22

HarryHeeb (Nov 27, 2009 at 9:47)

Did you really need to spend so much money on a bike? If you had put that money into a growth account you could have made 5% on your investment a year!

I did have a 'slightly used' bike available that would've costed you a lot less.

21

recklessness (Nov 27, 2009 at 9:49)

I would say "you pay shipping", but we both know that's not happening.

10

HarryHeeb (Nov 27, 2009 at 9:58)

Agreed.

markbatt (Nov 27, 2009 at 7:13)

Looking at this bike makes me happy. I salute you on your amazing orange bike building skills.

Ride her hard this weekend. It looks like the weather is on your side.

21

recklessness (Nov 27, 2009 at 7:15)

Thanks Mark. I absolutely love this bike. I should be able to get her pedaling properly for tomorrow. I lack fixing time.

Edit: That comment made me happy.

10

c-bernier (Nov 28, 2009 at 23:06)

Why not TONS of wicked trails within an hours drive of abby.That is if reck had money to throw away on a plane ride but he would probaly spend it on some amazing bike instead

10

11

recklessness (Nov 29, 2009 at 6:58)

No more bikes for me until shit starts snapping. Just riding.

11

recklessness (Nov 30, 2009 at 12:50)

Edit: If I went anywhere for a bike vacation, I would go to Cali.

10

c-bernier (Nov 30, 2009 at 15:02)

You and me both,probaly the majority of other people to.

11

recklessness (Nov 30, 2009 at 15:04)

10

Rattsl (Nov 27, 2009 at 6:52)

Tell me how she rides eh..

11

recklessness (Nov 27, 2009 at 6:54)

I am dying to ride it, but I have to adjust my chainline a bit and dial my brakes tonight, then I can ride it. TORTURE!!!!

10

Rattsl (Nov 27, 2009 at 7:00)

Do it then, looks fun too. PS...saw the T Bird in the last pic...it looks sad without any parts.

11

recklessness (Nov 27, 2009 at 7:01)

It needs a lot of bearings and some TLC before it will be rideable again. I fucked the T-Bird up!!

10

c-bernier (Nov 27, 2009 at 23:58)

What did you do to it

11

recklessness (Nov 28, 2009 at 7:55)

Needs a lot of new bearings.

10

sherbet (Nov 27, 2009 at 7:09)

craig-b (Nov 27, 2009 at 9:23)

29.8. pounds.

10

Hombre3000 (Nov 27, 2009 at 9:32)

I think that's 29 pounds and 8 ounces, so it would be 29.5 lbs.

11

recklessness (Nov 27, 2009 at 9:38)

And that is with a few heavy/beefy parts on there. I made no real effort to weight weenie it (other than fork).

10

craig-b (Nov 27, 2009 at 9:38)

I dunno yet. Visually yes, but I still need to fix the driveline before I can ride it. I can't do that until after work. For now, I just lurk this pic. LOL.

22

Unhallowed (Nov 27, 2009 at 10:52)

Fair enough, I'd say skip out on work and fix the bike... but you gotta pay for it somehow haha. And I do believe this will be need to be tossed into the 1000 views club my the end of the day(maaaybe tomorrow).

23

recklessness (Nov 27, 2009 at 10:53)
