Here are a few more photos..
One is a rough setup so you can see the TT angle, obviously if you had a more negatively angled stem then it'll make it a bit more mental.. You do feel the drop when you've got her set up correctly :)
Also check out the back wheel, that's how it sits recessed with a 23c tyre if you get the chain length correct.. -

Cheers folks. yeah the paint is awesome, kinda like those sparkly chameleon ones that Armourtex have on display..
I managed to squeeze myself on this with a long stem and silly high seatpost :) I really wanted to keep it and tried every setup/excuse but unfortunately I think I'd ruin myself on it and actually have some daily/project bikes that fit me properly! -
Thanks for the compliments :) The lo-pro-ness is being exaggerated, surfaces weren't level. If you'd like to view it we could throw some wheels on to get a better view of the setup. Think there's a pic on google (of someone elses) somewhere of one aswell.
I'm 183cm if that helps but it'd suit taller individuals aswell.
Cheers, Tom -

No worries, I'll do it when I get a chance. The Nuevos are really good, managed to get them cheaper though coz new they seriously bite your wallet ;) They don't actually have a hole in the top outside corner but the strap sits beautifully below it or can be secured with a zip tie if need be. Been riding em like that for quite a while and never an issue.
Oh, have a look at my Gangsta V1 photos in the CP thread, you'll see them with the ReLoads there. Cheers, T -

A couple of pics of the next stage of my V1. Bought a set of Phil/CXP33 wheels and swapped handlebars to a set of Nitto RB 002's (which by the way ride amazing!). The stem was obtained from TFG and is a Nitto UI-5BX.
Pedals are MKS Custom Nuevos with ReLoad straps from the USA. Went for this combo as they're lighter than most BMX/platform pedals and I love straps.. Also bit easier to get in and out off as opposed to MTB ones with pins. Oh and they went better with the ongoing build.. More photos to come.. -

I've been riding MKS Custom Nuevos for the past year initially with ReLoad velcro straps which are actually quite narrow (and are for sale now on my thread) and fit through pretty narrow gaps.
I've now got Holdfasts threaded through them but they were quite tough to get through.
Give me a shout if you'd like to see them or anything..
Cheers, Tom -

Down from £300..
PM'd detail..
I know I'm reaching here but would anyone be interested in taking the cranks and BB with the frame or should I have them removed? Apparently the TA Specialities cranks were almost on par w Sugino 75's and went for a lot of money when they were on sale..
