Balfa Tech for SeaDevil

 Thanks bro, just trying to show SD the diff between the 2 designs....and I just happen to have 2 of Canada's finest in my shop!! I didn't have time to go too deep...just the 2 main suspension characteristics.

 Yes Jeff, the first 2 Step on this vid is the one I been looking at, then I see a nice white BB7 frame powder coated freshly with red decals.....mmmmm both look good. Box section looks beefy, reminds me of the old-school San Andraes, were they called that? The 2 Step looks chunky also....What's your fave to ride....

Great vid, thanks for the technical info also SD.

 those bikes look unbreakable....I love the way you speak so proudly about the frames you showed. Hey man that shop is not a mess...its being used is all

 Hey mate thanks ! They are pretty durable, more unbreakable than most, but as you know....with enough work...anything can be broken..LOL !!! These are old frames by modern account and I have loved them for many years ! Happy New Year !!

 Thanks! Yeah It is a mess....I always seem to get caught up in doing too much at once....and then can't say no to friends.....and then and then.....

 Thanks brother ! I was the first dealer for Jerome years ago when they first started being distributed in the USA... I loved them...and obviously still do.... I would have shown my 2 step DH also..but ...I was trying to do a quickie to show a friend of mine the differences between the 2 frame designs. Thanks !!

 completely different bike but no one better than the other...its just two different way to ride.....but at the end.....2 amazing bike made whit love for a long long time....no doubt about it....probably like brooklyn bike.....no flashing,no bling-bling..just fun.

 So right you are. They are totally different but they both work so well at eating up the bumps and the steeps! To be honest, when I first saw the NR just before the first BB7 came out, It was my first true DH bike love, and when I got that first year BB7 and built it for myself after downhilling on hardtails and an early pro-flex, it was what I knew I wanted to do until my body wouldn't let me do it anymore! They were indeed made with love and care and passionate craftsmanship....just like the Brooklyn Machine Works bikes. And that is why they still have a place in my stable ! I loathe you pro cycle for what you did to a great great bicycle company ! Viva le Balfa !

 exactly!!!!...the first NR in 1998 in chromoly are...just a huge dream machine to have!!!!! but...the most important,a time less machine!!!!!!... THE most beautiful bike i ever see in my entire life....and the first year production of the BB7 as mine (14 year now) are a simple bike whit a lot of potential.....pro cycle kill balfa.....why?....cause BALFA as always been the best,made by the best and lowest production cost...that`s it...that`s all.............................................jgottya1,your welcom to CYCLES BALFA on facebook.....the only one Jerome is there.

 Thank you ! The NR's are something I still dream about having....even though I have way too many bikes now..... Yeah PC didn't want the mighty BB7 taking market away from the rocky mountains early RM6 I think, if I remember correctly.... I will check out Jerome.... I am not much into social networking other than this site, as I have my plate way too full !! But thank you!

 I am going to dig out a bunch of my original Balfa stuff and take pictures and post it for you guys that appreciate it as much I do! I have some cool old stuff...and I think I just stumbled across a dealership letter from Jerome when we first signed on.... Give me a week to dig through boxes of bike stuff....

 cool!!!!!..appreciate.

 Any time mate !!

 Cheers !!

 There is some of finest builds that I have ever seen in over 40 years of biking from your country brother!

 They sure don't ! At least most don't...there is still Brooklyn, Karpiel, Nicolai...and a few others....
You got the studs mounted up yet ??
