There are 5 new pages I just added to the Unreal Cycles Gallery over the weekend. Hit up the website and check them out! Here are two bikes I cranked out recently:

Original paint. I removed all of the factory decals and replaced with vinyl die-cut letters found at any hardware store.

One problem I found, is that I can't bring myself to put my old crud on it :P I am seeking lighter, more exotic (but still freeridish) components for it.. like Thomson stem and post, carbon riser, 2.35 single ply Maxxis, atomlab DHRs with King apple green hubs...
:eek: I LOVE the candy apple green hub idea, jason. (this is durchhalten w/ the specialist from the 'tex btw.)

I'd be dead jealous if work on my new frame hadn't just begun. 6-8 nerve racking weeks and i should have her in my hands. I'm considering some unique build ideas as well, but they might have to wait until i clear some financial roadblocks. I'll post pics here as soon as i have something to photograph.

YEA, ht/tt juncture RIPPED, Tore my lip good on that one.
The evolution II is hard to get Tire Clearance
with 26" wheels with burly rims. I run it with duel 24"s on the street and 26" in the front on the trail.

IF YOU GUYS DO ALLOT OF STREET RIDING
TRY SOME HOOK WORMS. FUN TIRES!

thanks... yeah, as i get older, i gotta ride taller bikes-- i can still drop the seat and have plenty of clearance for whatever; but if I ride over about a mile in the lower position, my knees let me know about it for days and days (35 years of Skateboarding, bike riding, a few bad car wrecks and general dumbassness has my old knees constantly on the edge of quitting their job) , so i got the Large (18") frame...
No complaints so far; not much heavier than my dear old JackFlashRad at all and definitely a little more comfortable for me...
.. super well balanced... this is my do everything (as long as it's on pavement) city cruiser/whatever ride..

I gotta say that bike looks very good....but. Why do street-only bikes need disc brakes? They are in danger of being hit a lot, and concrete is the least forgiving thing I can think of hitting them with. Once again, nice bike.

bulldog-

is it becasue people are used to the power of discs, like they have discs on their DH or trail bikes, so they cant go back?

That's a good point. There is an addiction to braking power, I have it too!
