7x9 bracket arrived from Germany today, so could finally fit the saddle.... shame its not gold like the 7mm one but Crank bros dont seem to sell them...hey ho...black still looks ok i think

Looks nice I am seriously considering a Lurcher for my next bike. I cant see some of your photos though just getting a photobucket logo.

badly_dubbed

aye, i need to wait untill the 30th for the bandwidth to re-set lol

(tight bass and wont pay for the pro upgrade!)

So why not use another hosting site? :?

Looks good, grips don't work for me.

badly_dubbed

dunno...ill just wait lol the ones you can see are linked from facebook though...

im nae sure on the grips either, but they will dull down and eventually be manky so not too bothered about that....but they will be black next time

badly_dubbed

Rims still not arrived...got a call from the builder saying the hubs are ready to go, hopefully have them finished next week provided the rims do eventually turn up!

Lewis A

Loving the colours

badly_dubbed

Cheers, I thought this one would be easier to match parts to than the Lime green they do

badly_dubbed

cables ran for the shifters and remote, could do with shortening the front brake cable...

badly_dubbed

Confirmation that the rims have shipped from Light Bicycle, good stuff they should be here within the week

Sold my Gym yesterday with a plan to convert it into my workshop...not a bike related update but didnt think it warranted a new thread lol

hope to have the workbench up soon

The Rookie

Nice.....I wish my garage looked even 10% as good as that!

Lewis A

Wow. You have a bike room!

badly_dubbed

Yea not finished yet though! Plan to have one of Scott Mitchell's photos from the Tour made into a wall mural for the back wall there to replace the gym stickers behind where the work bench is going

Carbon rims from Light-Bicycle arrived today....so glad i went for these over the cobalts (thanks to njee for pointing me to that, appreciated!) they are absolutely spot on. rigid and flawless! over the moon with them!

will chuck a picture or two up when my phone charges

badly_dubbed

Now to pick up the King hubs and get these badboys built!

@lexD

They are going to awesome cant wait to see them built 8) 8)

wish I could have a set of those in 26 on a ibis tranny mmmmmmm

njee20

You can... They're not that expensive really.

lawman

They do look very nice! Looking more likely I'll be using a set on my next build, will be interested to see how they hold up

stubs

Is there a rider weight limit on those rims and how much did they cost delivered

stubs

Just found the website http://www.light-bicycle.com/ I really like the look of the carbon 29er frames for $449.00 has anyone got a frame and what do they think of it.

badly_dubbed

Think it's 105kg...don't quote me on that...

Not bank breaking really £260 delivered

stubs

Cheers very very tempted my credit card is twitching

badly_dubbed

Get on with it

lawman

A mate of mine has one, he's well impressed with it. Considering LB make wheels for Roval/Specialized they should be pretty good! Look over on MTBR there's of threads on the wheels and the 29er frames, really useful stuff!
