Durace ace crank set, custom fabricated bottom bracket

Masi, CNC custom drilled seat post

18tooth, drilled to be fastened to shimano MTB front disc hub

This is a bike I completed last year with the help of Rob and Rick and the Bicycle Depot in Toronto. The head seat, bottom bracket, seat post, fork crown, rear hub have all been custom fabricated by various friends. The biggest challenge was the rear chain stay and chain alignment. Nevertheless, it has been a great learning experience and hope everyone enjoys it.

just over 31 lbs.
If I were to do it again, there are definite areas where I can reduce some mass, as there are internal steel components than can be lightened.

does it weigh? Just curious because you are using wheels without many spokes.

Is there an opening or door

Submitted by gridplan on 03/01/2009.

Is there an opening or door somewhere to hold a pump and spare tire? It seems like there would be plenty of room.

Jesus Christ, relax you psychopath. It wasn't a criticism, it was an innocent question about its design.

Submitted by DnA on 03/02/2009.

"innocent question about its design"...not quite. You are definetly mocking the design when you asked if there's an "opening or a door somewhere to hold a pump or spare tire". In essence you are commenting about the shear size of the frame. You didn't have to be a smart ass about it, and knock the bike.

You are a deeply insecure

Submitted by gridplan on 03/02/2009.

You are a deeply insecure person. That was not at all the gist of my question. I can't see every angle of your bike. I was asking if you put to good use (as I would have) the extra space afforded you by the frame. With no brakes there is no cable to route internally, but you could have used that space for a pump or spare tire. THAT was my question, you paranoid ass.

If that was your question,

Submitted by DnA on 03/04/2009.

If that was your question, then why didn't you phrase it that way. Second, you say "as I would have". I've heard alot of "should have, would have, could have". These are the people who stand in the way of other people's passion, skill and ability.
