Got an ACS racing chain for free for my cruiser and got a Tioga Powerblock 1.6 so I can slam my backend. Also switching the 1.75 to the front and putting the 1.6 on the back saved 8oz off of my tires, so I'm pumped to see how much of a speed difference that will make on the track.

I ordered a pair of powerblocks as well, I'm almost done whoring my bike, maybe just a little more Ti...

Bye bye wallet

haha

Got the T1 built last night.

Had to order a new fork bolt & springs for the brake.......and a blue cable

Nice^^^ orange pedals look a little silly though. :p

They're actually gum.....but the flash makes them look orange. Wanted black but couldn't get any

The last bars i ever really felt comfortable were Odyssey Civilian Highs but i bent them & had to throw them away in the end (before i really knew about odysseys great warranty) Over time ive got used to slightly wider bars, not a great deal wider than the Civilians mind, so 26" feels perfect to me. I think there are 2 or 3 handle bars under 8" now-a-days too so custom seems like the only way really.

winstanleys allegedly have them in stock still for 20 quid. id ring up before you order though cos theyre notorious for listing shit they dont have in stock

Yeah, even delivered it and gave me two maxxis maxxdaddy tires. haha. I might paint the frame gloss black and do a black/chrome build like i've always wanted

oh shit maxxdaddys as well, jackpot. i like the tan frame tbh, tan and chrome is a classic combo

Getting my bike prepared for the weekend, giving it a good once over to ensure its ready for the jam that's happening in my yard

Looked at it a little more and continued to curse at the weather...

Povah'ed my sunday freeze stem.

Not too shabby.

It's getting below 40*f so It's shite to ride outside.

Ben i cant give you rep right now! Those are even the non butted ones, i'll give em a ring tommorow abooot them.

Austin Tasseltine · « **Reply #2261 on:** October 30, 2012, 12:41:09 PM »

haha no worries, i was looking at all winstanleys sale stuff cos they usually have some random old stuff up on there which theyre flogging cheap and i remembered you said those were your favourite bars. bargain for 20 quid, should still be warrantyable too if you ever bend them (though i doubt youd get a new set of those these days)

Topsey · « **Reply #2262 on:** October 30, 2012, 01:00:09 PM »

Gunna see about getting a set of those OSS Gary bars too. Theyre on sale for $40 & the sweeps at least are pretty much spot on, plus theyre chrome!

Pat · « **Reply #2263 on:** October 30, 2012, 01:29:27 PM »

I thought the Gary bars were pretty tall.

Edit: at least taller than 7.75"

Topsey · « **Reply #2264 on:** October 30, 2012, 02:56:18 PM »

If they can ship them to the UK, im gunna get the 8.3" ones. I ran Odsy Lumberjacks for quite a while & i got on with them ok just missing the upsweep.
