Took some proper pics of my bike before it gets too thrashed. Was told it looks almost normal yesterday which was a nice compliment

What sorts of things about having your seat that high do you prefer?
-
Loveliest. Why the front brake mounts though!?
-
seat is for sitting on
brake mounts, i wanted to try fronts a couple of years back. even though im not running them, theyre the same as r25s which is what id buy if i got new forks anyway.
doesnt bother me having mounts and no brakes, and means i can chuck a brake on easily if i get the urge again
-
hmm.
i dig this! throwback/modern meld ish?...
oddly enough, i don't mind the high seat and huge bars. they work together.
not sure on the primo Viking clamp tho... crazy overkill there. maybe try a polished primo single bolt clamp instead.

Too street.

ive always had a high seat, for those who dont know im 6'6. tall bars are better for me too (i still wish there were narrower options out there though)
i had a polished single bolt primo clamp on this frame originally (the one on the sunday) but the seat kept slipping, so rather than buy a new clamp i just put my viking on cos i knew itd be up to the job.
when i first started out riding in like 02-03 i used to have to spend roughly an hour fixing my bike each day after school before i could go riding. some of the parts on this are overkill for how much i ride now, but my bike is super reliable now, no matter how many ledges i bash it on. can just throw it in the car and go for a ride, no pissing about
-
Do you sit down on your seat while doing feebles?
-
nope i sit down when im pedalling around on it.
is it really that much of a problem for you how i run my seat? are you worried im just doing it to be "street"?
-
No, I'm just taking the piss on it. When I ran my seat that high back in aught 3 I could pinch my seat and some silly suicide feebles.
Haha as a matter of fact I do sit down feebles w an essentially slammed seat just to add that element of freestyle.

looks rad, only problem is , mines still not here >:(

how come? gumps got his now and his was a custom which took ages. whered you order it from?
-
is your chainstay indented for sprocket clearance like gumps frame?
-
nah wish i had got the chainstay crimped like his though, my sprocket is real tight. its annoying cos the gap between the tyre and wishbone is massive (about 1") so thered have been plenty of room to make the wishbones a tiny bit longer and get more clearance on the sprocket without the tyre jamming up. you can actually fit a 22" wheel in there theres that much extra space

according to Steve Crandal its at paint, looking at the very least another 3 weeks(mostlikely another 3 fucking months!), but his chucking in a PMA stem and a few other little bits .Its proper starting to annoy me now , have almost everything else apart form the pedals and back wheel but no fucking frame!
I ordered it from Radbmx shop, it has nothing to do with the shop i ordered from , apparently the UK batch have not arrived yet?
-
it's rather manly.
-
best frame that has been put out since i'd say 2010.
great build too, i really love it!
-
style points for the primo viking double clamp. i just found mine while looking thru some old boxes the other day. both bikes look fun!
