Another sick build! Awesome job!

brandonf (Jun 6, 2011 at 22:25)

High enough bb?
I'll see if I can beat this weight with my tazer with a brake once my new parts arrive. I'm shooting for sub 21.

jonathan-raw (Aug 11, 2011 at 11:33)

is it this sprocket mate? www.wheelies.co.uk/Images/Products/34373.jpg and also do you think the gold chain would look nice on my dart?

dkidd (Aug 11, 2011 at 12:08)

yup

pierszdan (May 8, 2011 at 11:59)

tis a good looking bike. how in the world did you get it to 20.8 though?

dkidd (May 8, 2011 at 12:02)

a 2 week diet of cigarettes and cocaine.

pierszdan (May 8, 2011 at 12:04)

sounds about right

drpepperrider2 (May 8, 2011 at 12:44)

How do you like it overall?
I mean, the ghetto being on 26"? how does it feels?

dkidd (May 8, 2011 at 15:39)

not bad. its pretty short for me though.

D1rtJumper (May 8, 2011 at 19:19)

I wonder if there is any way possible to make it sub 20 while keeping the strength.

dkidd (May 9, 2011 at 9:06)

i have a couple of plans, but they're just too much work. Involves sourcing new BB bearings, etc.

doubledeuce (Feb 21, 2012 at 15:45)

Titanium EVERYTHING!

haha kidding man. Like dkidd said, there are ways but its a shit-ton of work :S

bansheesrock (Nov 7, 2011 at 12:58)

throw a brake on there and i will be very interested i have cash so i will have to stop by somtime soon

dkidd (Nov 7, 2011 at 13:06)

there's an Elixir R on there right now. Legally we have to sell all new bikes with a brake.

pdee (May 8, 2011 at 12:41)

This is crazy. Build it lighter on 24s.

dkidd (May 8, 2011 at 15:38)

its going heavier on 24's I think.

pdee (May 8, 2011 at 15:50)

Yeah I just thought that.

craig-b (May 8, 2011 at 20:04)

Why? no craazzzzy light 24" rims?

pdee (May 8, 2011 at 20:50)

719s are light ass rims.

dkidd (May 8, 2011 at 23:11)

and i feel like the next one of these is gonna be a REAL street build. Tough as fuck. Thats the one which will prolly be on 24's.

pdee (May 9, 2011 at 8:10)

Like you drop 10' to flat, don't land, get pissed at your bike, chuck it, and it still lives another day?

Or will that break the frame?

tom666 (May 8, 2011 at 12:42)

Is it yours or for a customer?

dkidd (May 8, 2011 at 15:38)

just built up for fun, really.

crookedspangus (May 8, 2011 at 20:54)

Just for fun...
God i envy you and your job.

tom666 (May 9, 2011 at 9:20)

You have the best job.

kanioni (May 8, 2011 at 12:58)

That's freakin' unbelievable *mad props*

TomL055 (May 8, 2011 at 15:00)

wow

meatbucket9 (May 17, 2011 at 10:54)

What forks are they? And is this a 24" frame?

20.8 pounds??? are you f*cking kidding me???

jonathan-raw (Aug 11, 2011 at 8:55)

dkidd (Aug 11, 2011 at 11:11)

premium sprocky, KMC 710SL

jonathan-raw (Aug 11, 2011 at 12:09)

okay cheers, do you reckon the gold chain would look nice on my dart?

dkidd (Aug 11, 2011 at 12:47)

gold looks good on anything.

cools20 (Aug 26, 2011 at 15:06)

did you already sell this thing?

dkidd (Aug 26, 2011 at 17:36)

haven't really tried, just have it on display at the shop. You want it?

cools20 (Aug 26, 2011 at 21:24)

i was actually thinking about it, what would you sell it for in usd?

dkidd (Aug 27, 2011 at 9:53)

It's going for $1940 CAD, but I'll do you a favor and do it for the same in USD.

cools20 (Sep 12, 2011 at 23:44)

if you still have this somewhere around the 30th i think im actually going to buy it this time haha

tacocatmedia (Nov 4, 2011 at 16:10)

hey can you put rear brakes on it

dkidd (Nov 4, 2011 at 16:22)

it comes with an elixir R.

jjfjoel1 (Nov 14, 2011 at 23:02)

i want it all except rims bar and stem

rockit88 (Jan 23, 2012 at 21:17)

Damn ! wish I had the money! Love it!

bryandickson (May 8, 2011 at 12:10)

Another great build!

But I just can't figure it out! 20.8 pounds! Thats ridiculously light for a DJ/Street bike!

dkidd (May 8, 2011 at 12:12)

its a damn light frame to begin with, so I decided to go all out. Stump post, plastic seat, super light bar, etc.

bryandickson (May 8, 2011 at 12:15)

Yeah I can tell! Its so nice! If only I could afford a build like this though!
What forks? Fox...?

dkidd (May 8, 2011 at 15:37)

float 32 rlc

chriscarson (May 8, 2011 at 12:33)

how much

dkidd (May 8, 2011 at 15:38)

dont know yet. prolly around $2500

streetrider709 (May 8, 2011 at 12:55)

ghetto with 26?

dkidd (May 8, 2011 at 15:39)

yeah man!

streetrider709 (May 8, 2011 at 16:03)

so badass

jumperdude (May 8, 2011 at 17:05)

Rad bike man

dkidd (May 8, 2011 at 17:42)

cheers.

potato22 (May 9, 2011 at 8:31)

how much space is there left in the dropouts ?

dkidd (May 9, 2011 at 9:07)

with a 26" wheel? 2mm

potato22 (May 9, 2011 at 12:44)

with a skinnier tyre or a shorter chain would it be possible to get more space ?

dkidd (May 9, 2011 at 21:29)

different drivetrain ratio and yeah. It can move in 5mm approx. Not enough for a half link though.

nouser (May 11, 2011 at 7:24)

Looks better on 26's...the back looks weird on 24's...good job!

rex12 (May 22, 2011 at 17:55)

nice bike

monkey12 (Jun 29, 2011 at 15:37)

dkidd (Jun 29, 2011 at 18:14)

jonathan-raw (Aug 11, 2011 at 8:16)

jonathan-raw (Aug 11, 2011 at 11:29)
