Here it is, it is finally finished. Thus far only some skateparking, but tomorrow she'll see some dirt.

thas a beauty, u think the blackll hold up?

whats the weight?

 

[vallEbikes]

single speed the way to be

 

[jake133]

^ agreed, sweet ride man. Not sure if the Black will hold up though

 

[Li'l Dave]

Oh I'm almost positive that the fork will detonate on me at some point soon. It was some special deal that my shop got from Manitou and we decided to jump on it. It was cheap, so it will save me some money for now. I took it jumping today too, and as much as I suck, the bike felt awesome and I can't wait to go jumping again.

 

[jasonw111]

weight? size?

 

[Li'l Dave]

The size is the smaller of the two, 21.5 toptube. How it sits now it ways in at 27.5 lbs, but after today when my Gold Label fork shows up it will be a bit heavier. It is so much fun dirtjumping on the bike, it's so cool having the rear end tucked under you so much.

Nice talking to you yesterday Dave. If the P1 doesn't work out I think I'd be into a MOB frame. They just look simple but nice. You'll have to post some pics of it with the new fork!

that chain is looooooooooooooose

 

[Changleen]

that chain is looooooooooooooose

My thoughts exactly. You'll be crankin' on that one day and it'll come off and you'll eat pavement. I have a 2 scars to prove it.

Edit: Really nice build though.

Simple IS nice

 

[Bicyclist]

that chain is looooooooooooooose

Well it looks brand new so I'm assuming it's not setup all the way.

 

[mackster23]

MOB = My Own Biatch. i love the builds, and those MTX's look beauitiful.
i have some on my DH rig, but i think they would work great for street too.

 

[Mugger]

Hmmm very nice, I really like the look of a bike with single speed, just a lack of **** to break...

 

[-dustin]

did Carter end up making a derailleur hanger/ tensioner? all the Mobs i have seen are SS.

 

[jasonw111]

there are few different options. ss with horizontal drops and no der hanger, and vertical drops and der hanger

 

[Li'l Dave]

Here are some pictures of the bike with the new fork and the front brake cable routed through the headtube. Now even though I can't actually do bar spins, I can at least pretend that I am cool

 

[Li'l Dave]

Holy bad lighting batman, I suck at photography. Here is one of the front though, hopefully it turns out a bit better.

 

[aznfreerdr08]

very nice, how do you like that new fork?

 

[Li'l Dave]

Here is that pic again. The fork is aweseom, super simple. There are no external adjustments besides the rebound and it is rediculously stiff. It doesn't feel like it is getting that much travel though, it is really progressive.

ive modded mine to take a steelhead hanger. the chain was stressed right before i took that pic, its tight now

Looks very sweet, except you've inadvertantly put the wrong size wheels on it...

Edit: And you have 10 minutes before those pedals self destruct...

 

[Tetreault]

wow i used to lie MOB's but now i see so many of them i just cant stand them, i would hate it if someone had the same bike as me, thats y i got a custom one for myself, but ya love the spec hate the frame
