At last....the Brooklyn Racelink is complete !!! The first ride was priceless....Shivers up front and Avalanche on the rear, I have never ever ridden a rig that comes close to this monster weighing in at 47lbs. A huge machine so balanced but brutal, I think this would conquer any mountain in the world !!!

 Cheers brother, I'm glad you like her...Is she up to spec and expectations of an original 2006 model? I tried to keep her as original as possible with a few upgraded parts.

 I would probably trim the right grip a bit more but everything's look mint,,,especially the low key white scheme and polished components, super nice combo...the Marzo looks amazing, can't wait to try an inverted on the TR...what about the wheelset bro, what did you have to do to make it fit in the end ???....duuuuuuuuuuuude, you never told me what were your thoughts on my Spesh project ?!?

 Yes brother, the gripshift is from YOU in Canada, when I change gear, you change also bro !!! Without you I couldn't of finished the build. The wheelset had to be dished over carefully as they are 135x12. Some of the spokes were stubborn but they eased out and the wheel dished across a quarter of an inch to perfection.
What's with the Spesh bro? You know me, not up on road bikes but seen these machines flying around the roads and country lanes of South Wales !! Specialized is a very popular bike for mtb/road in Wales bro...I sen one built up and it looked sexy in white, but you know pimps love white lol. 56.5 frame then bro? I would love a cheap and nasty Cadd 8 used and cheap if one comes up ??? Hard ride, and maybe go up to a 56 frame? I thought the Wilier was way too small with my toes catching the front wheel !!! What are you going to put on the Spesh ???

 the wheelset is a real nice touch on that bike, well Worth the fuss of redishing the back fosho...but I was wondering how you manage to solve your dropouts fitting issue ???...for some reasons, I thought there was something other than the redish, lol...bro, to say the truth, I wanted to scratch that road bike itch one more time even though I'm only planning to use it on local group rides and such...the Tarmac and the S6 are both 56 (large) but the Spesh has a slightly shorter wheelbase, I would never go back to a 54-55cm top tube anymore, the front center are just too short or you need a slack head angle and it's just not a race bike geo anymore...bro, any thoughts on a super sweet custom wheelset ???

 Yes, the axle on the back of the brooky is shit !!! Too basic on the driveside, held in place by one screw? SD got a chunky spair 135x12 axle off the bloke who sold me the Rogue, so that should fly in and do the job if I need to. He was a good seller, sent me spair pivots/bearings and 3x rear gear dropouts as his was slightly cracked and bent on her....saying that, SD is bored of the Rogue already ? pmsl !!!!! I fancy a Canfield Jedi Formula 1 frame or a Knolly in yellow or green (dreamer). Nah, nothing out there at the mo I fancy? I got the chance of a sexy Litespeed Titanium complete bike full Deore and DMR straight forks for £400 but Tracy don't want it !!!! I fancy a Ti hardtail bro, imaging with Fox 100mm up front? or a Nukeproof Snap in mint condition, yellow in colour £430 unmarked?

Custom wheelset for the Spesh >>>> come on....you know i'm useless on this??? Off the top of my head for colour combo and value for $$$ How about Fulcrums in red/black combo? I'll have a sniff around and let you know what I see? All the roadies I know stick with Mavic but I wouldn't go tubs....ever !!! Clinchers for ease of use bro.
