Got my new frame in today. And lets just get this out of the way. Some people had bad luck with Brad, but I want to say that he is by far the nicest person I've ever worked with one-on-one to build a frame. He never fed me any B.S., and was 100% honest about everything. He was open to the ideas of a frame that is a little more rare in the DJ/street scene, and I really hope to work with him again to make another bike.
The specs of the frame are:
Stock geo on a DeathMobile
14mm dropouts
Disk mounts
Integrated headset
Custom thicker tubing on lower tubes of the chainstay
Purple powercoat
Euro BB
Brad also threw in a set of their new 3.25" rise Weezy bars in white, a purple Ano stem, and a really sexy white pivital seat. I'm also getting another set of the same bars but in the same powdercoat purple.
There are a few parts that need to be changed. My Animal Illegal Linear Cable is a little to short, so that needs to be changed, along with a new seatpost. The seatpost is a used one I grabbed from the LBS so it will do until I can get some cash together for a pivital.
Besides that, it looks so clean, and I rode it for about five minutes and it rides like a dream. I planned on riding today but a huge storm hit A-Town this morning and it's been flooded. Tomorrow looks like more of the same so I will have to wait until the weekend for some ride pictures.
The parts list goes:
Manitou Gold Label w/ hollow axle
Gold Profile F hub w/o rotor mount
Alex D24 rims F & R
Nem-Pro Stem
Nem-Pro Weezy bars
Shadow Grips
Avid BB5 road 140mm disk brakes
Animal Illegal Linear Housing
Profile cranks 175mm w/ Ti axle and flush mount bolts
Halo 14mm disk brake R hub
Shadow purple ano alloy 14mm nuts
KMC gold 1/8th chain
Profile 25tooth chainwheel
Shadow Purple Ano bar ends
FSA Impact Gold Limited
Profile seat clamp
Shadow railed seat
Odyssey PC pedals
Schwalbe Tabletops
XC tubes
Gold Nipples
and a ghetto ass seatpost
and for the pictures...
Once again, thanks a TON Brad, and I'm looking forward to the support you're giving me, and the most badass bike I've owned.
