Push bike build

terranosaurusdoug · 28-07-2017, 18:43

I've totally lost track of what I'm doing with this, I can't remember what I have or haven't got for it, I'd even forgot that I bought a HOPE front disk for it

Don't be fooled by the carrera decals, this is one from back in the day when Merida made the frames for them, it's 16" and so is the bike frame

and I think I payed 50 squids for it

it's flippin' light, even when compared to modern frames but the forks let it down, they are damn heavy so they will be going, I just want some rigid ones I have no need for suspension. I got white cables and lines for it, I believe the brakes are juicy five by tektro.

Nice, what does the little one want to be when it grows up?

If we're doing photos then, here's the latest set that's complete.

The others are now in various states of undress, but are here in all their glory.

Except the Dave Quinn which threw me off one Christmas Eve.

I'll never understand the obsession with those puny skinny wheels

Here's my bikes although the trike wasn't mine but fun to ride.
The bare ally bike was a specialized hard rock pro. I stripped it back to bare ally, junked the worn out gears for a single speed setup and replaced the heavy forks with carbon exotics. Only had a rear brake for a while but kept having idiots pulling out on me and just the rear brake isn't enough! Light as a feather and rides very well.
Then there's my Onone 45650b but we've had a fallen out and it's in the garage, in the corner, and that's where it stays until it behaves
