i think scott said it best....

Reach is the distance between the bars and the saddle...fitting shorter forks and steepening the angles of the whole bike doesn't magically stretch the top tube Ed.

Just to point out, that's the photoshopped version I did, removing the spacers/slamming the stem.

credit where credit is due after all...

fuck i want these so badly, but none of my loser friends will go with me. fuckers.

853 in 44x32 teardrop is a standard product AX2605, I think it's made from a 37.3 round tube BX2160. There shouldn't be much expense in getting any of the other (heavier) standard 37.3 tubes squished in the same die. That doesn't make it "custom drawn", but it could be "custom shaped"

the only set of vertical dropouts ive ever liked the look of. delicious.

also, how is the 14R anti-porn??

looks nice imo

Ahhh my first crankset riding fixed (cotter pin all the way) served 5 months of polo, skids and endured the harsh reality of its plump owner, it finally broke at polo 8 miles from home, thank god that I had cable ties on me at the time. Now I think it must be laid to rest in its rightful place...

liam you should post the full build. i still say it was the best bike you've ever had.

yeah frame is still going

Whats the widest tyre you can fit on a gangsta?
If you put 26" on it what about then.
What is a suitable replacement for the fork, but with disc tabs/ canti bosses?
Cheers,
Relatively warm of Nottingham

in answer to your questions, about 43c is the max.

dont ever, EVER think about putting 26s on a gangsta. stupid idea. would drop the BB too low, would look shit. its not a trick bike.

as for the fork, maybe an onza tuff guy? not too sure on that one.

Front teeth are over rated

Im in, i love front wheel skidz, you out riding liam?

anyone seen the trailer for moonrise kingdom?

want.

How does it make the reach longer? The seat angle also increases by exactly the same amount.

truth bomb.

Should i buy alfine 8 or alfine 11 for touring? i gather the 8 is more robust under torque, but the range on the 11 is much wider.

Will act on uninformed opinion as i have no fucking idea.

go for the 11 speed, apparently they're of a much higher quality. you want something reliable for touring innit. talk to gabes, he runs an alfine hub on his custom ti beast.

purely amazing filth. guilty pleasure.

leader = not hhsb in my opinion. beer can headtubes and cinelli copies....

i also had the debate of omniums vs 75s for my latest build. went with the omniums, 100 quid cheaper, super stiff, and nearly 300g lighter than the 75s.

dibs fizik saddle!

don't cave to other peoples pressure. all my friends tell me my bike is ugly as fuck all the time, but i love it. build something you love, not something that others are going to approve of.

yeah scoble i saw you got the easton fork, doesnt austin horse ride one as well?

big money for that like....

look what came in the post!

CS is doesn't exist pretty much. They don't answer emails and anytime I've called don't answer either. Tokyo said they were brutal too and they are buying loads off them.

gutted. thought they were a pretty good company. at least il probably never have to call them about a broken frame....

the back wheel is being built this week, waiting on bars arriving.

having no fixed bike is killing me. riding with a freewheel just isn't as fun.

best esb build.

Zipp service course short/shallow, black Thomson x2, Mavic open pro CD's, wham bam, thank you mam.

already got an x2 thats goin on :) nearly went with open pros, but prefer the look of the a23s, and have read great reviews so....

Good shout with the wheels mate. I'm running a rear black Chub on an A23 and it's smoooooooth and very fast. Unfortunately I got hit by a taxi twat so it's being rebuilt atm.. My front is also an A23 but I've got a Goldtec Pro on it instead.. It is machined though as my forks came with canti weld ons and I threw a brake on over winter.. Hope yours work out good, I think you'll love the rims..
I've never ridden drops on my bike but either risers or bulls which I find the best for all round getting the power down and comfort. Let us know what drops you go with, interesting to know..
Take care and good luck with the build mate :)

thanks man, ive been riding bullhorns for nearly 2 years, tried some road drops, fell in love.
ive decided on easton ea70s, nice ergo shape, pretty light, good reviews...

Sound like my Brooklyn, but with brakes.

Don't diss the brakes, and Brooklyn are not an unique snowflake (they probably are with the awful customer service).

im not knocking brakes, i just dont run them. i bin scobled!
what bad customer service did you get??
