Looks cool. You going brake less?

[turbojolt]

i was expecting a motorbike when opening this thread tbh lol


what justifies the 370 quid price tag on the wheels, what are they made from? (not trying to be rude by the way, just intrested)

[Spudly]

I doubt he will be running no brakes as he isnt stupid, also wouldnt be able to wheelie/manual without them lol

i used to have a identiti with halo rims and hope big un hubs was a heavy bike but was bomb proof when it came to hard trials riding

[pie]

looking good :)

same wheels n hubs i run :)

[24sevenslacker]

justify the wheels because I am fat, and they are extra wide, extra thick rims, machined billet hubs, and double butted (thickness) spokes. will be running a rear brake, can manual without a brake but I like the safety of running a brake. running 24" wheels also

Nice project's I've always fancied building myself a flatland bmx but I would just never use it. Will be keeping an eye on this!

need a spacer for the cranks as the crank arm is hitting the chainstay. also need rear driver sprocket and locking ring, then its done!

[_Jake]

tech x2 mmm tasty

[grooge]

looks nice, i'd have run the brake line round the other side of the headtube though, was the first thing that jumped out at me when i looked at the pic lol

[24sevenslacker]

Best brake i have ever owned, this was supposed to be a cheap build but its turned into a no expense spared.........

And i run it there because its got a bit more flex for barspins

[24sevenslacker]

Finished!

tried embedding video but wont work

[mk1nova_rich]

Reminds me of my BMX build from years ago...I got my frame for £80 so thought the whole build would only be around £350 - double that and add a bit more and it was done lol

Nice colour scheme :cool:

[Southie]

Really like that, it's making me look at BMX's and I've not owned one for 25 years lol

[L33 LEG]

Nice bike :)

Was going to make a thread for mine for a full build but only took a week so was pretty pointless lol

[Benn]

Love that!
