BUILD: |
Spent a great deal of time making this sucker.
It was all about the forks; and it works most excellently,
with it's 8" of silky-smooth front-end travel and it's
dynamic-twin-fly-screen-door rebound dampening system.
As usual, it's more than what it seems, because the forks
(weighing more than the frame, and made from 4 back-ends!)
simply detach with a couple of bolts and go onto any standard
MTB forks — not that you would, but you could! |
NOTES: |
Most people avoid eye contact when you ride
this... don't understand why::: |
MOST MEMORABLE RIDE: |
2006 24hr
race — for once, people weren't wondering what all
the springs were about... they still avoided eye contact tho! |
This is how it started... can you see what I see?
Is that better?
My retired alluminium XC frame would have been too
much hassle (we haven't got a TIG welder), so I cut this Huffy up
instead...
Four suspension pivots made from bottom brackets
make for silky-smooth suspension travel... NOW can you see what's
going on??
I just dig the fly screen door gas units used as rebound dampening
— you can even adjust them!!
