Wow very nice man!

Nice build. I didn't know that NS had gone with integrated HS. Is this new for 2008? The paint is really similar to the color of my Union.

 

[climbingbubba]

i think only the capital, also its the only one with the spanish BB. very sweet frame. i wanted a tonic or a USB but with the NS being so much cheaper and having pretty much the same geo i decided to go with it. i don't regret it

Looks badasssss

An idea when the 09's will come out? I'm thinking about upgrading...

damn that thing is sexy
nice job man

NICE BIKE! I am getting one pretty soon here too! Birthday present to my self. What size rear axle is required? 10mm? And what kind of headset, the campy kind?

 

[Stoked]

well done man. looks really nice. i like those frames.

tell me how that lever feels with v brakes. i thought bmx levers felt mushy w/ v brakes...

 

[climbingbubba]

thanks guys,

no idea when the 09's come out, if like last year then april of 09.

next question, capitals take bmx hubs so 14 x 110 same as the USB and the tonics

and last of all, the lever feels pretty good, im coming from disc brakes so its a little different and im using pimplite's so its not as powerful but it does the job. i find it helps cause its harder to grab brake and bail from stuff but is locks up when i pull hard.

oh man, that is sooooooooooooo clean

 

[v-digit]

i like it.
thats a very nice setup you got, fun.

i need one of them scales...

 

[climbingbubba]

i need one of them scales...

me too, i have to go over to my friends house (cabalistic fire on here or Err on MTBR). he has as many tools as a well stocked bike shop. plus a pump track to test your build when you finish it:biggrin:

 

[don]

nice build looks clean. Those NS frames are impressive. Did you get that from a shop/online in the states or from someone overseas like ChainReaction? I haven't seen much NS stuff available here.

 

[climbingbubba]

i just checked and BTI has the capital in stock!!! only in off white but still good. they also carry other frames like the suburban.
i got mine from chainreaction but thats because i checked bti for 6 months and it never came in stock. of coarse its in stock now.
one of you guys should have your LBS order it for you

now all they need to do is get the schwalbe tabletops in and were set

 

[DThomson]

sooo sick! riding photos?

 

[climbingbubba]

no action shots yet, i rode around today and worked on manuals. only got about 40 feet, dang its been a while,

went up and hit some big stuff on my freeride bike though, its still so nice out in the mountians so for now just messing around with the urban bike.
